What is an EICR Report (Landlord Certificate)?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document that assesses the safety and condition of a property’s electrical systems. Conducted by a qualified electrician, it identifies potential hazards, defects, or non-compliance with wiring regulations. The report categorizes issues by severity, highlighting urgent repairs and recommended improvements. EICRs are essential for homeowners, landlords, and businesses to ensure electrical safety, meet legal requirements, and reduce fire risks. Regular inspections—typically every 5 to 10 years—help maintain a safe electrical installation.

What does an EICR include?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) involves a detailed inspection and testing of a property’s electrical system to assess its safety and compliance with regulations. The process includes:

  • Visual Inspection – Checking for visible signs of damage, wear, or deterioration in wiring, sockets, switches, and consumer units.
  • Testing – Conducting live and dead tests to identify faults, measure insulation resistance, and check for proper earthing and bonding.
  • Fault Identification – Highlighting potential hazards, non-compliance with regulations, and issues that could lead to electric shocks or fires.
  • Categorization of Issues – Defects are classified into:
    • C1 (Danger present) – Immediate action required.
    • C2 (Potential danger) – Urgent remedial work needed.
    • C3 (Improvement recommended) – Not dangerous but should be improved.
  • Report Issuance – A formal document detailing findings, including observations and recommendations for remedial actions.

EICRs are essential for landlords, homeowners, and businesses to ensure electrical safety and compliance with UK wiring regulations.

How much does an EICR cost?

The cost of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) varies based on factors such as property size, number of circuits, number of consumer units and location. In the UK, typical prices are:

  • 1-bedroom flat: £100 – £150
  • 2-3 bedroom house: £150 – £350
  • 4+ bedroom house: £200 – £450
  • Commercial properties: From £250+, depending on size and complexity

Unlike other contractors, we will repair (with your consent ) any minor faults as we test. This practice avoids failing your installation over minor defects that we can  repair quickly as we test and at much lower cost than a revisit and re-test.
