What Is An EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and assessment of the condition of the fixed electrical installation within a property.
During the inspection, the electrical installation is checked for issues that could affect electrical safety, including deterioration, damage and defects.
Following the inspection, you receive an EICR report detailing the condition of the installation and any observations identified during testing.
Electrical Safety Certificates for Landlords
If you’re a landlord, you may search for an Electrical Safety Certificate, Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, or Landlord EICR.
The formal inspection and report commonly required for rented properties is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
Private landlords in England are generally required to have the electrical installations in their rented properties inspected and tested by a qualified person at intervals of no more than 5 years, subject to any shorter interval specified in the previous report.
We provide EICR inspections for:
- Houses
- Flats and apartments
- HMOs
- Rental properties
- Portfolio landlords
- Letting and estate agents
EICR for Homeowners
EICRs aren’t only for landlords. Homeowners may arrange an electrical inspection to assess the condition of the property’s electrical installation, particularly when:
- Buying or selling a property
- The electrical installation is older
- There are concerns about electrical safety
- Previous electrical work has been carried out
- The condition of the installation is unknown
Our inspector will test the electrical installation and provide a digital report detailing the findings.
Commercial EICR London
We provide Commercial EICR inspections across London for businesses, landlords, managing agents and commercial property owners.
Commercial electrical installations can be considerably larger and more complex than residential installations, so our commercial pricing is based primarily on the number of circuits requiring inspection.
Commercial properties we can inspect include:
- Offices
- Retail shops
- Restaurants and cafés
- Warehouses
- Commercial units
- Communal areas
- Mixed-use properties
- Other business premises

What Does an EICR Inspection Check?
An EICR assesses the condition and safety of the property’s fixed electrical installation.
The inspection may include checks of:
- Consumer unit / distribution board
- Electrical circuits
- Earthing arrangements
- Bonding
- Protective devices
- RCD protection
- Wiring condition
- Electrical accessories where applicable
- Signs of damage or deterioration
- Potential electric shock risks
- Potential fire risks
- Other electrical safety observations
Testing requirements depend on the installation and property.
Understanding Your EICR Result
Following the inspection, observations identified by the inspector may be given classification codes.
C1 – Danger Present
An immediate electrical safety risk has been identified and urgent action is required.
C2 – Potentially Dangerous
An issue has been identified that could present a safety risk and requires remedial action.
C3 – Improvement Recommended
An improvement is recommended, but the observation itself does not make the EICR unsatisfactory.
FI – Further Investigation Required
Further investigation is required to determine the nature or extent of a potential problem.
If the report contains C1, C2 or FI observations, the overall EICR will normally be assessed as Unsatisfactory.
What Happens If My EICR Is Unsatisfactory?
Don’t worry if defects are identified during the inspection.
You’ll receive a report explaining the observations found. Where required, we can provide a quotation for the necessary electrical remedial work.
Once the appropriate remedial work has been completed and verified, the relevant documentation can be provided.
