Get a QuoteWhat Happens During Your EICR Inspection
A qualified electrician follows the same structured process on every visit, set out in BS 7671 (the UK Wiring Regulations).
Visual inspection
The engineer checks the consumer unit, sockets, switches, light fittings and visible cabling for damage, wear, or non-compliant installations before any testing begins.
Dead testing
With the power isolated, they test insulation resistance and continuity of protective conductors, confirming the wiring itself is sound before it’s ever re-energised.
Live testing
Power is restored to test earth loop impedance (how quickly a fault would trip safely) and the operation of every RCD (residual current device) protecting the circuits.
Grading each observation
Anything found is classified C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation needed), never left as a vague pass/fail.
Report and certificate
You receive the full written EICR with every observation, its classification, and a photo where relevant, emailed within 48 hours, ready to give to tenants or letting agents.
EICR FAQs
Is an EICR legally required for rental properties?
Yes. Since 1 June 2020, all private landlords in England must have a valid EICR carried out by a qualified electrician at least every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants before they move in.
What does an EICR check?
An EICR inspects all fixed electrical wiring, consumer units (fuse boards), sockets, light fittings, switches, and earthing arrangements. It does not cover portable appliances; that is covered by PAT testing.
What does the EICR result mean?
Results are graded C1 (danger, immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous, urgent action), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required). Only a C3 result means the property can be let as-is.
How long does an EICR take?
For a standard one or two-bedroom flat, an EICR typically takes 2–4 hours. Larger properties or older wiring may take longer. We will advise at the time of booking.
How long is an EICR valid?
A satisfactory EICR is valid for up to 5 years for rental properties, or until the next inspection interval recommended by the engineer, whichever is sooner.
What happens if my property fails?
If your property receives a C1 or C2 result, remedial work must be completed within 28 days. We provide a full report detailing every issue found so you or your electrician can address it promptly.
