Reliable EICR certificate inspections for homeowners, landlords, and property managers across the UK. Our certified electricians carry out electrical testing, visual inspections, and compliance checks to issue a legally accepted EICR certificate.
Each report includes clear testing values, safety codes (C1, C2, FI), and compliant landlord documentation to ensure long term electrical safety.For properties requiring broader electrical improvements, our contractors also provide complete electrical work services carried out by certified electricians.
Certified engineers for all gas work, safety checks, boiler installations, and compliance.
Electrical work carried out, tested, and certified to current UK regulations.
Public & employer liability insurance in place for complete peace of mind.
Consistently rated for workmanship, reliability, and project management.
Delivering home refurbishment and roofing projects with controlled processes, certified trades, and accountable project management.
Every EICR inspection is carried out as a full electrical assessment following British Standards guidance. Our process includes visual checks, dead testing, live testing, protective device checks, and earthing verification.
Each Electrical Installation Condition Report also includes accurate measurements, clear classification codes, and detailed documentation for long term safety.
If faults are detected during inspection, remedial work such as consumer unit upgrades may be recommended to improve electrical protection.
Choosing qualified inspectors helps ensure your property meets UK electrical safety regulations and landlord requirements. Our team manages the full EICR process with certified testers, clear communication, and accurate documentation.
We identify risks such as faulty circuits, incorrect protective devices, ageing cables, and non compliant installations, following guidance from the British Standards Institution for safe and reliable reporting.
In many cases, outdated wiring identified during inspections may require partial or full house rewiring to restore electrical safety.
Our EICR inspection and testing service covers every stage necessary to ensure a safe and compliant electrical installation. After an initial assessment, our electricians perform full testing, document results, and issue a digital PDF report with clear outcomes: Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
All work aligns with UK electrical safety regulations, ensuring accurate testing values, proper classification codes, and full reporting. We verify earthing, bonding, insulation resistance, polarity, and fault loop impedance before delivering your final report.
During inspections, electricians may also assess related electrical safety systems such as smoke and heat alarms to ensure full property protection.
We offer minor electrical improvements for customers who do not require a full installation overhaul but still need a compliant EICR result. Our electricians complete protective device upgrades, wiring corrections, replacement RCDs, and MCB adjustments to help achieve a safe electrical state.
Before any upgrade, we assess the installation to confirm cable ratings, bonding quality, and load compatibility. This approach reduces overall cost, speeds up timelines, and improves compliance without unnecessary rewiring.
For properties requiring significant remedial work following an unsatisfactory EICR, we provide complete electrical rebuild services. This includes rewiring where needed, installation of compliant protective devices, replacement of outdated components, and full final testing to achieve a satisfactory report.
Every installation meets UK testing requirements and documentation standards. All components are selected for durability, performance, and compliance. The result is a fully compliant installation delivered by qualified electricians and documented with an updated report.
Modern homes with networking systems and smart devices may also require professionally installed data cabling to support stable electrical and communication infrastructure.
Every project begins with a full electrical inspection of accessible installations. We check wiring condition, fuse boards, earthing systems, and protective devices before performing detailed electrical testing.
Includes: Visual inspection, Circuit testing, Fuse board testing, Insulation resistance test, RCD testing
After testing is complete, we compile findings into a structured safety report. Faults are categorised using C1, C2, or FI codes with clear remedial guidance provided.
Includes: Fault classification, Compliance review, Remedial recommendations, Report drafting, Client explanation
The final stage involves issuing the official documentation and explaining next steps. Clients receive digital documentation suitable for legal and landlord compliance.
Includes: Digital PDF certificate, Satisfactory/unsatisfactory confirmation, Signature verification, Record submission guidance, Final handover

Contractors check all electrical circuits, wiring, and protective devices during an inspection. They test earthing, bonding, polarity, insulation resistance, and RCD disconnection times. An EICR also identifies visible defects such as overheating, loose terminals, ageing cables, or non-compliant installations. The final report includes codes such as C1, C2, or FI, indicating whether remedial work is required. Once complete, you receive a compliant safety certificate.
Most EICR inspections take between one and four hours depending on property size and number of circuits. Older properties may require longer due to additional checks or testing challenges. After testing is complete, the electrician compiles all measurements into a formal EICR report. The digital certificate is issued once the document is finalised and verified. Larger or more complex installations may take slightly longer.
Yes, landlords must obtain a valid EICR for all rental properties in the UK. This is a legal requirement under landlord electrical safety regulations. The inspection ensures that wiring, circuits, and protective devices are safe for tenants. Failure to maintain a valid report can result in fines or enforcement action. Reports must be renewed every five years or sooner if specified by the inspector.
In most domestic rental properties, an EICR is required every five years. However, high-risk environments or properties showing deterioration may require more frequent inspections. During the inspection, the electrician will advise if an earlier renewal is recommended. Homeowners can also request an inspection at any time for peace of mind. The frequency ensures ongoing electrical safety and compliance.
An EICR can fail due to dangerous faults such as exposed wiring, missing RCD protection, overheating components, or damaged circuits. Incorrect bonding, poor insulation resistance, and loose terminals also cause unsatisfactory results. When faults are identified, the report lists them using C1, C2, or FI codes. Remedial work must then be completed before a satisfactory report can be issued.
