About This Service
What Does EICR Testing Involve?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of all the fixed electrical wiring in a property. It checks everything from the consumer unit and cables through to sockets, switches and light fittings. For landlords in England it is a legal requirement to have an EICR carried out every five years or at change of tenancy. Homeowners and buyers often get one done for peace of mind, and many insurers recommend them too.

Yes. Since 2020 it has been a legal requirement for all private landlords in England to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report for each rental property. The report must be carried out by a qualified and registered electrician, must be no more than five years old at any given time, and a copy must be provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, as well as to any new tenants before they move in. Local councils can issue fines of up to £30,000 to landlords who fail to comply, so it is not something to leave until the last minute. As a NAPIT registered contractor, Ryan carries out fully compliant EICRs and can also register the results with the relevant authorities where required.
A typical two or three bedroom property usually takes between two and three hours to inspect thoroughly, though this can vary depending on the age of the property, how the electrics have been installed, and how easily accessible things like the consumer unit, loft space and under-floor cabling are. Larger homes, properties with outbuildings, or older buildings with non-standard wiring can take longer. Ryan will give you a more accurate time estimate when you book, based on the size and type of property, so you can plan around access for tenants or arrange to be present if you would like to be.
An EICR does not simply pass or fail in a binary sense. Instead, it lists any issues found using a coding system: C1 means there is a danger present and the issue requires immediate attention, C2 means the issue is potentially dangerous and requires attention urgently but not immediately, and C3 means an improvement is recommended but is not a safety requirement. Only C1 and C2 issues need to be resolved for the property to receive a satisfactory overall result. Ryan will explain clearly what each finding means in plain English rather than just handing over a technical report, and can carry out any remedial work needed to bring the property up to a satisfactory standard, then issue an updated certificate once it is complete.
For rental properties in England, the law requires a new EICR at least every five years, or sooner if a change of tenancy takes place before the five years is up, or if a previous report recommended a shorter interval due to the condition of the installation. For owner-occupied homes there is no legal requirement, but an EICR every ten years is generally recommended as good practice, and sooner if the property is older, has had any electrical work carried out that wasn't properly certified, or if you are planning to sell and want to reassure potential buyers that the electrics are in good order.
Yes. If the inspection identifies any C1 or C2 issues that need addressing, Ryan can quote for and carry out the necessary repairs himself, rather than you needing to find and coordinate a separate electrician. Once the remedial work is complete, he will re-test the affected circuits and issue an updated certificate confirming the property now meets a satisfactory standard. Keeping the original inspection and remedial work with the same electrician also means there is a single, consistent record of the property's electrical history, which can be useful for future landlords, buyers, or your own records.
Yes. As a NAPIT registered contractor, Ryan uploads the results of every EICR to the NAPIT register, giving you an official, traceable record of the inspection that exists independently of any paper or PDF copy you hold yourself. This can be useful if you ever need to prove a valid EICR is in place, for example to a local council, a letting agent, or a new landlord taking over management of a property, since the record can be verified directly with NAPIT rather than relying solely on the physical certificate. It also means that if you ever misplace your copy of the report, a duplicate can usually be requested through the register.
