Why EICR?

Why You Need an EICR

An EICR is not just paperwork — it is a critical safety inspection that protects lives, properties and legal positions.

Mandatory

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.

Essential

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.

C1 & C2 Codes

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.

Claims Proof

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.

Proactive

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.

Hassle-Free

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.

Our Process

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.

01
01

Book Your EICR

Call or book online. We schedule a convenient time and send a reminder. For landlords and property managers, we manage portfolios and track certificate expiry dates.

02
02

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.

03
03

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.

04
04

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.

05
05

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.

Understanding Your Report

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.

FAQ

EICR & Electrical Testing FAQs

Common questions about EICR codes, testing frequency, costs, and requirements for landlords and homeowners in Suffolk.

C1 means danger is present and requires immediate remedial action — we make this safe on the spot during inspection. C2 means potentially dangerous and must be remedied within 28 days (mandatory for landlords). C3 means improvement recommended but not unsafe — you can choose whether to act. FI means further investigation is needed before a full assessment can be made, usually due to anomalous readings or inaccessible wiring.
A domestic EICR for a typical rental property in Suffolk costs between £150 and £300 depending on the number of circuits, property size, and age of the installation. A 1-bedroom flat may be £120-£180, while a 5-bedroom house could be £250-£400. Commercial EICRs are priced based on the size and complexity of the distribution system. We provide fixed prices before any work begins.
Since July 2020, landlords in England must have an EICR carried out every 5 years for all rental properties. You must provide a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and to new tenants before they move in. If the local authority requests it, you must provide the report within 7 days. Remedial work for C1 and C2 faults must be completed within 28 days (or sooner if specified).
While not legally required, an up-to-date EICR is increasingly expected by buyers, mortgage lenders, and solicitors. A recent EICR showing a satisfactory installation gives buyers confidence and can prevent delays in conveyancing. If issues are found, addressing them before listing your property avoids last-minute negotiations. We recommend getting an EICR before putting your property on the market.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) assesses the safety and condition of an existing electrical installation through inspection and testing. An EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) is issued for new electrical work or significant alterations, certifying that the installation meets BS 7671 standards at the time of completion. You need an EICR periodically; you receive an EIC after new work is done.
Yes, we provide a detailed quote for any C1, C2, or FI remedial work identified during the EICR. We can carry out the repairs promptly — often within a few days — and issue an updated report or Minor Works Certificate as appropriate. Many of our clients book the EICR and remedial work together for convenience and faster compliance.
An EICR is a snapshot of your installation's condition at the time of testing. For domestic owner-occupied properties, a new EICR is recommended every 10 years or on change of occupancy. For rental properties, it is mandatory every 5 years or on change of tenancy. Commercial premises typically require testing every 3-5 years depending on the risk assessment and insurance requirements.
Yes, we provide commercial EICR testing for offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial sites, schools, care homes, and HMOs across Suffolk. Commercial EICRs involve larger distribution boards, three-phase systems, emergency lighting circuits, and more complex installations. We work around your business hours where possible and provide reports suitable for insurance, regulatory compliance, and health and safety audits.
