A clear EICR with photographs, plain-English coding and a fixed-price remedial quote on the same email, so you know exactly what is required, what is recommended and what it will cost to put right.
Periodic inspection and testing of a fixed electrical installation under BS 7671, producing a formal report (EICR) with C1, C2, C3 and FI codes against any defects found.
Private landlords (statutory 5-year EICR), HMO landlords, commercial occupiers, businesses changing tenancy, and building owners after major refurbishment.
Every 5 years for rented domestic property; every 3–5 years for commercial; on change of tenancy if defects are suspected; after any electrical work that affects the consumer unit or main earthing.
Faults in fixed wiring are silent, failing connections heat up behind plasterboard for months. EICR finds them before the loft does.
A non-satisfactory EICR must be remedied promptly to keep the installation safe and the property compliant with rented-sector electrical safety rules.
We confirm consumer unit access, isolation arrangements and any tenanted units before attending, no wasted visits.
Consumer unit, accessories, exposed cabling, earthing and bonding visually inspected and photographed.
Continuity of protective conductors, insulation resistance, polarity and earth fault loop impedance tested with calibrated instruments.
Earth fault loop impedance and RCD trip times measured live, with circuits restored to service immediately.
EICR issued digitally within 48 hours, with photos of every coded item and a fixed-price remedial quote in the same email.
We explain every C1, C2, C3 and FI in landlord-friendly language, no jargon-shielding.
The engineer who found it can usually fix it, fewer trips, faster compliance.
You see what we see. So does your insurer if anything is ever queried.
On the same email as the report, no chasing, no day-rate exposure.
5-year retest dates diaried for every property, we remind you 90 days before.
Most domestic EICRs completed in a single 3–4 hour visit with a 60-second total isolation.
EICR is the most important piece of paperwork a landlord holds, and the most commonly fudged. The notes below outline how a competent EICR is actually carried out under BS 7671:2018+A2:2022.
C1: danger present, immediate action required. C2: potentially dangerous, requires urgent remedy. C3: improvement recommended (does not affect satisfactory). FI: further investigation required without delay. A report is unsatisfactory if it contains any C1, C2 or FI codes.
An unsatisfactory result is not a failure of the inspector, it is a record of the installation's condition. The duty-holder must then remediate. Suspicion of 'soft-coded' reports is one of the main reasons we offer a free second-opinion review of any EICR that looks too clean.
BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 requires RCD protection on all final circuits in domestic premises. Pre-2008 dual-pole MCB boards almost always pick up at least a C3, and frequently a C2 where lighting circuits feed bathrooms.
Main protective bonding to incoming water and gas services is checked and measured. Missing bonding in older Welsh terraced properties is a recurring finding, and a C2 if left.
Higher inspection frequency (5 years maximum but often 3 years on advice), kitchen and bathroom circuits scrutinised, every socket sampled where occupancy allows. Tenant inconvenience minimised by zoning the inspection over a morning.
Three-phase distribution, sub-mains, motor circuits and industrial connections tested with appropriate isolation; out-of-hours visits available to avoid trading disruption.
