What your EICR inspection covers
Visual inspection
We examine sockets, switches, light fittings, the consumer unit and accessible cabling for damage, overheating, corrosion and signs of DIY or overloading.
Live electrical testing
Insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, polarity, continuity and RCD trip times measured with calibrated instruments and recorded per circuit.
Circuit schedule
Every circuit identified, labelled and documented, with each protective device checked against the cable it protects.
Coded observations
Findings classified C1, C2, C3 or FI so you know exactly what must be acted on and what can reasonably wait.
Satisfactory or unsatisfactory
A clear overall outcome. If unsatisfactory we quote the remedial work up front, and you are free to use anyone to carry it out.
Why London landlords need an EICR
Since April 2021 every rented residential property in England must hold a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report, renewed at least every five years or at each change of tenancy if sooner. Copies must reach existing tenants within 28 days, new tenants before they move in, and the local authority within seven days of a request.
Councils can impose fines of up to £30,000 for non-compliance, and an unaddressed unsatisfactory report can invalidate buildings insurance and undermine a Section 21 notice. Faulty fixed wiring is among the most common causes of domestic fire, and it is almost never visible until something goes wrong.
Who needs one
- Landlords letting any residential property in England
- HMO operators, inspected every five years without exception
- Letting and managing agents arranging compliance
- Homeowners selling, and buyers wanting to know what they are taking on
- Commercial premises, typically every three to five years
- Anyone who has had an extension, rewire or new consumer unit

EICR Certificate FAQs
A one or two bedroom flat usually takes 90 minutes to two and a half hours. Larger houses and older wiring take longer. Power is switched off in sections while testing, so it is worth warning tenants.
At least every five years for rented residential property, or sooner if the previous report recommends a shorter interval. You also need a valid report at the start of any new tenancy.
