  • It may be some time since the initial installation of wires, devices and other associated fittings, so expect some levels of deterioration, as well as wear and tear to be present as this period increases.

    What our Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) service sets out to do is identify where these defects and faults exist within your property so you can effectively carry out the necessary repairs as and when they’re needed.

    As registered electricians, we strongly advocate that you also get us to conduct a visual inspection combined with our Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). It will ensure we can look at your electricalfittings and fixtures on a room by room basis, in conjunction with the broader circuit testing the EICR entails.

  • Never deviating from the foundations
    Never deviating from the foundations

    We stick to the fundamentals of why building owners require an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which are to scope out if any deterioration, damage, defects, or interrelated issues pose a threat to humans and the wider environment. Not only this, we advance what we observe to advise what remedies should be applied to make your space as safe as can be.

    We will test every circuit that runs through your property by switching off your electrics at the mains to see if any shortcomings not visible to the naked eye crop up in these more technical readings. The outcomes of our investigations which typically take 3-4 hours, will be to determine if your electrics are in a condition for continued safe usage.

  • When you should call on our expertise
    When you should call on our expertise

    Many trigger points indicate that you should have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) carried out at your property.

    In understanding the market, we stick to the guidelines laid out by the NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting), which highlight having an EICR done:

    • once every 10 years for homeowners
    • every 5 years, if you own privately rented properties
    • at the point in time when residency of building switches over

    Away from these guidelines, other interlinking concerns may be the age of your property, the effects of weather on your building structure and criminal damage to your facility.

    These are but a few things, and some other prominent calls include a switchover in the way your space is being utilised or visible defects to your electrical infrastructure. Another missed cause, which we’ll focus on, is the installation of swimming pools where their related electrical components need an EICR carried out annually.

    If you can identify with these demands, get in touch today, and we’ll help cater to your needs.

    How long will my Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) be valid for?

    Under guidelines laid out by the UK government, an electrical report needs renewing every five years for rented properties. That being said, it goes further to advise that as a landlord, you should get a new certificate every time a new tenancy begins within this timeframe. In the case of private homeowners, this period is extended to every ten years.

    What happens once and EICR inspection is completed?

    It may take us a few days to get together the full results from your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). They’ll be input by your engineer in a digitised format before being sent across via email. Should you meet the expected standards, it will be issued with a ‘satisfactory’ mark. On the other hand, if it shows you haven’t passed, it will be classed as ‘unsatisfactory’, indicating what has to be done for it to pass.

    In circumstances where ‘unsatisfactory’ is the given category, we’ll notify you about which parts of your electrical layout failed and the reasons why. For each task that needs doing, there will be a code given, namely:

    C1: highlighting a danger being present that is likely to cause injury, and instant action is necessary.

    C2: pointing out a potential danger that needs remedying as a matter of urgency.

    C3: where improvements are recommended, albeit being a code with which an EICR assessment can pass.

    What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

    An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a survey that can only be conducted by a fully qualified electrician. In it, they will test your entire system, reviewing cabling to the mains, fuse boards and all fixtures, including switches, plug sockets, lights and all other electrical components. It aims to determine if a satisfying level is met for the continued use of this power source within your space.
