Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a structured inspection and test of everything electrical in a property, from the fuse box to the furthest socket. It tells you what is safe, what needs attention and what can wait, with every observation coded and explained.
Landlords in England must have a satisfactory EICR at least every five years. Buyers use one to avoid an expensive surprise. Whatever the reason, you get the formal report plus a plain-English summary of what actually matters. If something needs putting right, we price it as a clear fixed job.

EICR questions, answered
How much does an EICR cost?
It depends on the size of the property and how many circuits it has. Landlord and multi-property rates are agreed up front, with a clear price before you book.
How often do I need an EICR?
Rented homes need one at least every five years or at a change of tenancy. For your own home, every ten years is the usual guide, sooner for older wiring and when you are buying.
What happens if my report comes back unsatisfactory?
It just means one or more items need attention. We explain exactly what they are in plain English and give you a fixed price to put them right and re-issue a satisfactory report.
How long does an EICR take?
Two to four hours for most houses, depending on size and the number of circuits. We work cleanly and put everything back exactly as we found it.
