Professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses throughout South London and Surrey
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and test of a property's electrical installation. It identifies damage, deterioration, defects and non-compliances that could present a risk of electric shock or fire, helping ensure the installation remains safe for continued use.
An EICR is commonly required for landlords, homebuyers, commercial premises and older properties. The inspection assesses the condition of wiring, sockets, lighting circuits, consumer units and protective devices in accordance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
When Do You Need an EICR?
An EICR is recommended in several situations:
🏠 Buying a property
