Frequently Asked Questions
The frequency of EICR testing depends on the type of property. For example, domestic properties typically require an EICR every 10 years or at the change of occupancy. Rental properties often need an EICR every 5 years or with each new tenancy. Commercial properties usually require more frequent inspections, often every 3 to 5 years.
An EICR inspection involves a qualified electrician examining the electrical installations in a property. This includes checking the condition of wiring, sockets, switches, and other electrical components. The electrician will look for any signs of damage, wear, or faults and ensure that everything complies with current safety standards.
For a standard 3-bedroom residential property, typically 3 to 4 hours. For a small commercial premises, 2 to 6 hours depending on the size and complexity of the installation. We provide a time estimate when you book.
Yes. If your EICR identifies C1 or C2 faults requiring remedial work, we can provide a quote and carry out the work ourselves. We do not issue a report and leave you to find another contractor.
After an EICR inspection, you will receive a detailed report highlighting the condition of your electrical installations. The report will categorise any issues found (e.g., C1 for immediate danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for recommendations for improvement) and provide recommendations for remedial actions. If the installation is deemed satisfactory, a ‘satisfactory’ report will be issued.
Without a valid EICR, property owners may face legal and financial consequences, especially if an electrical fault causes damage or injury. Insurance claims may be invalidated, and landlords could face fines or other penalties for not complying with safety regulations. Most importantly, neglecting regular EICR testing can pose significant safety risks to occupants.
