What Is an EICR?

An electrical installation condition report records the condition of an existing fixed electrical installation at the time of inspection. It helps identify damage, deterioration and concerns that may require repairs or further investigation. It is different from portable appliance testing and from the certification issued for new electrical installation work.

The report includes the agreed scope and limitations, inspection findings and test results. We explain the overall assessment and the observations so you understand the next steps.

Electrical Inspections for Homes, Rental Properties & Businesses

We work with homeowners looking to understand their existing wiring, landlords arranging inspections of rental properties, and businesses planning maintenance or changes to their premises. The scope of an inspection depends on the property and installation, so we discuss your requirements before booking.

If you have an earlier report, circuit schedule or installation certificate, send it with your enquiry. Tell us about any recurring tripping, damaged accessories or other concerns you have noticed.

What to Expect From Your Electrical Inspection

1. Agree the scope. We confirm the property details, access arrangements and what the inspection will cover.
2. Plan the visit. Testing involves power interruptions. We discuss access to the consumer unit and electrical points so you can prepare and plan around the work.
3. Inspect and test. We inspect the accessible installation and carry out the tests appropriate to the agreed scope, recording any limitations.
4. Explain the report. We discuss the findings, highlight issues requiring attention and explain any recommended further investigation.

What Happens If the Report Identifies Problems?

An EICR is an assessment of the existing installation. Repairs, replacement equipment and further investigation are separate from the report unless expressly included in your quotation. We explain the findings and discuss the work required before agreeing any additional work.

An inspection does not automatically mean you need a new fuseboard or a full rewire. Where appropriate, we can discuss consumer unit upgrades or full and partial rewiring based on the condition of the installation.
