Why You Need an EICR
An EICR is not just paperwork — it is a critical safety inspection that protects lives, properties and legal positions.
Legal Compliance for Landlords
Since June 2020, landlords must provide a valid EICR to tenants and local authorities. Fines up to £30,000 apply for non-compliance. We keep landlords legally protected with valid certificates and renewal reminders.
Required for Property Sales
Buyers, mortgage lenders and surveyors increasingly demand a recent EICR. A clean report smooths sales; a failed one kills deals. Get ahead of problems before they cost you a sale.
Spot Hidden Dangers
Many electrical faults show no symptoms until they cause fires or shocks. EICR testing reveals dangerous wiring, degraded insulation and faulty protection before disaster strikes.
Insurance Validation
insurers may refuse claims for electrical fires if you cannot prove regular testing. A valid EICR demonstrates due diligence and can be the difference between a payout and a rejection.
Cheaper Than Emergency Repairs
An EICR costs a fraction of an emergency call-out after a fire or total power failure. Fixing C3 recommendations early prevents them becoming expensive C2 or C1 faults later.
Portfolio Management
For landlords and agents with multiple properties, we track every certificate expiry date and contact you 60 days before renewal. Never accidentally let a certificate lapse again.
What Happens During an EICR
A proper EICR is not just a tick-box exercise. It is a thorough electrical health check that could save your property — or your life.

Visual Inspection
We start with a thorough visual check of your consumer unit, earthing, bonding, cable routes, socket conditions and light fittings. Many faults are spotted before testing even begins.
Dead Testing
Circuits are isolated and tested for continuity, insulation resistance and polarity. These tests verify that cables are correctly connected, properly sized and not degraded.
Live Testing
Power is restored and we test RCD functionality, earth fault loop impedance and check that protective devices trip within required times. This confirms your safety systems actually work under load.
Report & Certification
You receive a detailed EICR with coded observations (C1, C2, C3, FI), photographs of any issues and clear recommendations. C1 and C2 faults are quoted for immediate remedial work.

EICR Codes Explained
Every EICR observation gets a code. Understanding these codes helps you prioritise what needs fixing and what can wait.
C1 means danger exists and immediate action is required. Examples include exposed live conductors, missing earth bonding or a burning smell from the consumer unit. We make C1 faults safe on the spot during the inspection if possible, and quote for permanent remedial work.
