What Is An Electrical Installation Condition Report

An Electrical Installation Condition Report, commonly known as an EICR, assesses the safety and condition of a property’s electrical system. It identifies any damage, deterioration or non compliant work that could present a safety risk.

EICR testing is required for rental properties and recommended for homeowners to confirm electrical systems remain safe and compliant.

Electrical Testing And Inspection FAQs

How Often Is An EICR Needed?

Rental properties require regular EICR testing. Homeowners and businesses are advised to test periodically.

What Is Checked During An EICR?

The electrical installation is inspected and tested for safety, condition and compliance.

How Long Does An EICR Take?

Most domestic EICRs take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the size and age of the property. Larger homes or commercial premises may take longer. Power will need to be switched off during parts of the inspection.

Will I receive a certificate after the inspection?

Yes. After the inspection, you will receive a formal Electrical Installation Condition Report. This document confirms whether the installation is satisfactory and highlights any issues using standard coding. The report can be used for landlords, insurers, buyers, and compliance purposes.

What happens if the EICR fails?

If issues are found, they will be clearly listed in the report along with recommended remedial work. We explain what needs fixing, why it matters, and provide clear pricing if repairs are required. Once remedial work is completed, confirmation can be issued.

Do you carry out EICRs for landlords?

Yes. We regularly carry out landlord EICRs across Derby for houses, flats, and HMOs. Reports meet current legal requirements and can be provided to tenants or local authorities if requested.

Is the inspection disruptive?

Disruption is kept to a minimum. Power will be turned off briefly during testing, but we plan the inspection carefully and keep you informed throughout.

Is remedial work included in the EICR price?

No. The EICR covers inspection and reporting only. Any repair work is quoted separately so you have full clarity and control over costs before proceeding.
