EICR Certificates

A typical EICR inspection takes 2-4 hours for an average3-bedroom property. The duration depends on the size of the property, age of the electrical installation, and accessibility of circuits. Our qualified electricians work efficiently while maintaining thorough testing standards.

Our EICR includes visual inspection of all electrical installations, testing of circuits, sockets, switches, and consumer units. We check earthing arrangements, RCD functionality, and insulation resistance. You'll receive a comprehensive report with any defects categorized and recommendations for remedial work.

If your current EICR is less than 5 years old and shows satisfactory results, you typically don't need a new one for change of tenancy. However, we recommend reviewing the report with new tenants and ensuring any previous recommendations have been addressed.

Our electrician will typically be on-site for 2-4 hours for a standard residential property. Larger properties or those with complex electrical systems may require additional time. We'll provide an estimated timeframe when booking your appointment.

We need access to all areas of the property including the consumer unit, all rooms with electrical outlets, loft spaces, and any outbuildings with electrical supply. Please ensure clear access to electrical panels and remove any stored items blocking electrical equipment.

Landlords must have EICR inspections every 5 years or at change of tenancy if more than 5 years have passed. New tenancies require an EICR that's less than 5 years old. We recommend keeping digital copies and setting calendar reminders for renewal dates.

If we identify any issues, we'll provide a detailed report with categorized defects (C1, C2, C3, or FI). We can quote for any necessary remedial work on the spot. Critical issues (C1/C2) should be addressed immediately, while C3 items can be planned for future improvement.

EICR costs vary based on property size and complexity. Our standard residential EICR starts from £150 for a 1-2 bedroom property. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific requirements.
