Essential Electrical Safety

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essentially an MOT for your home’s electrical systems. Over time, wiring, sockets, and consumer units naturally degrade with use. Our approachable team of local certified specialists thoroughly tests your installations to locate any hidden hazards, ensuring your property is completely safe.

Whether you are a landlord fulfilling your legal obligation to keep tenants safe, or a homeowner seeking genuine peace of mind before buying or selling a house, we make the process clear, straightforward, and entirely stress-free.

Find expert answers to common EICR and electrical safety compliance questions. Learn how to keep your residential or commercial property certified and safe.

How often do I need an EICR?

For safety and legal compliance, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) must be carried out at least **every 5 years** for most non-domestic and residential rental properties. Requirements vary depending on the use of your building:

What happens if my EICR fails?

If your EICR fails, it means the inspector found safety defects classified as **C1 (Danger present)**, **C2 (Potentially dangerous)**, or **FI (Further investigation required)**. This results in an “Unsatisfactory” report. By law, landlords and commercial owners must instruct a qualified electrician to complete the necessary remedial works within **28 days** (or sooner if specified in the report). Once resolved, the electrician will issue written confirmation or an updated certificate to prove safety compliance.

How long does an electrical test take?

A standard electrical installation test typically takes between **2 to 4 hours** to complete. This time estimate depends primarily on the size of the property, the complexity of your electrical system, and the number of circuits being tested. Smaller apartments might take around 1.5 hours, while larger commercial properties or historic homes can require a full working day. To speed up the process, make sure your fuse box is clear and sockets are easily accessible.
