Periodic Inspection & Testing

What An EICR
Actually Involves

We start with a visual inspection of the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and earthing, checking for damage, wear and anything that no longer meets current standards. Dead testing comes next, done with circuits isolated at the board. Once we're satisfied everything's safe to re-energise, we move on to live testing and record every result against the circuit it belongs to.

Landlords in England have a specific legal duty here: get the inspection done by a qualified person, keep a satisfactory report on file, and hand it over to tenants and the local authority on request. Homeowners aren't bound by the same rule. An EICR still gives you a clear, evidenced picture of whether your home's wiring is safe, which matters most before buying, selling, or taking on an older property you've just inherited.

It's a different job to an emergency repair. A call-out fixes the fault sitting in front of us there and then; an EICR is a scheduled, methodical check of the whole installation, circuit by circuit, whether or not anything's currently playing up. Turn up a genuine C1 or C2 along the way and we'll flag it clearly, then carry out the remedial work and retest as a follow-on visit.

Signs You Need One

Signs Your Wiring
Is Overdue A Check

An EICR isn't just for landlords. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth booking one in.

  • Installation is more than 10 years old
  • No EICR on record for the property
  • Buying, selling, or remortgaging a home
  • New tenancy starting or changing over
  • Frequent trips, buzzing, or flickering lights
  • Old fuse box or visible scorch marks

If Your Report Flags Something Dangerous

Found a C1 on your report for a specific circuit? Switch it off at the consumer unit, but only if you can identify it and reach it safely, then leave it off until we've sorted it.

Leave the consumer unit itself alone, and don't poke around a socket or fitting trying to fix it yourself. Fixed wiring work is restricted under Part P, and a circuit that looks dead can still be live.

Burning smell, scorch marks, or a circuit that won't stay off? Get everyone out of that part of the property and ring us straight away. That's not something to leave until your next appointment.

FAQs Made Simple

FIND YOUR ANSWERS
What's the difference between an EICR and calling you out for a fault?

One fixes a single fault: a tripped RCD, a dead socket, a burning smell coming from somewhere specific. An EICR covers the whole fixed installation, every circuit, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, checked against the wiring regulations whether or not anything's currently playing up. Think of it as a health check rather than a repair job.

What do the C1, C2, C3 and FI codes on my report actually mean?

C1 is danger present: a risk of injury right now, and we'll usually want to make it safe on the spot. C2 is potentially dangerous, needing urgent attention but not an immediate emergency. C3 flags an improvement that's recommended without being unsafe as it stands, and FI means further investigation is needed because we can't confirm what's going on without more work. Get a C1 or C2 anywhere on the report and the whole thing is classed unsatisfactory.

Do I legally need an EICR as a homeowner?

Own the home you live in? There's no legal requirement to have one done. It's still worth booking, especially on an older installation or one that's never been checked, but that's your call rather than a legal duty. Rent the property out, sell it, buy it, or run it as a business premises, and a report is typically expected or required.

I'm a landlord — what's my legal duty here?

In England, landlords carry a specific legal duty: get the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person, keep a satisfactory report on file, and hand a copy to tenants and the local authority whenever it's asked for. How often that report needs renewing, and what actually counts as satisfactory, depends on the specific property and tenancy. We'll check exactly what applies to yours and get you a proper written record to prove it.

What happens if my report comes back with C1 or C2 codes?

It comes back marked unsatisfactory, with exactly what needs fixing and why spelled out against each circuit. A C1 we'll typically want to make safe there and then, no waiting around. C2s need remedial work carried out reasonably promptly rather than immediately. Once that's done, we re-test the affected circuits and issue a minor works or electrical installation certificate, so you're left with a clean record instead of an outstanding fault on file.
