Frequently Asked Questions

After the electrical inspection is over, our electrical inspector will explain the result of the EICR test and we will send you the EICR certificate by email.

It will not only detail whether your electrical system has passed the EICR, but it will also list any remedial work required and inform you on the current condition of your electrical wiring.

An EICR will specify any deterioration, damages and defects which could be putting those who reside in your property at risk.

If your electrical wiring does not pass the EICR, then remedial work must be carried out to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

We will provide you with a detailed quote for any required remedial work.

Code 3: Improvement recommended. There is no immediate threat or danger but there is room for improvements.

The report should be available for your local authority as they may request a copy.

Typically, an EICR should be carried out once every five years. However, in some situations, more frequent inspections may be required.

This will depend on:

Age of installation: If the property’s electrical wiring is dated, more frequent EICR tests are required.
Property Type: If your property has a swimming pool, then EICR tests are required every one to three years.
Environmental Conditions: If the property has been damaged in either a fire or a flood, it is vital an EICR is carried out as soon as possible.
Misuse of the installation: If the electrical systems have been vandalised or tampered with, an immediate EICR is required.
Change in the usage of the property: If there is a change in tenancy or the property has been sold, more frequent EICR tests or visual inspections are required.

An EICR is documented proof that your property’s electrical systems are safe and you have complied with the safety requirements.

It also indicates that you have taken reasonable steps to ensure the safety of your staff and tenants.

You must share a copy of the EICR with the following individuals:

  • All tenants in the residential property – Tenants must be given a copy of the EICR within 28 days of the report being carried out.
  • All new tenants in the residential property – New tenants must be issued a copy of the EICR before they move in.
  • The local housing authority – A copy must be provided to the local housing authority within seven days of the authority issuing a request for the document.
  • The electrical inspector carrying out the next EICR inspection – This is crucial because the report will give context on any changes to the installation since the last report.

After the EICR test is carried out, we will then apply a label to the consumer unit, which will indicate the date of the next EICR inspection. The EICR report also shows the next inspection date.

There are some steps you can take to ensure that your EICR inspection runs smoothly.

You should read up on regulations surrounding EICR tests and inspections – knowledge is power.

Conduct a preliminary visual inspection yourself, and note down any visual problems. This will be helpful when the inspector comes to inspect your electrical systems.

Be ready to take relevant remedial action after your visual inspection, we may need a further visit to carry out remedial work and make the installation safe.

Make sure your tenants are informed in advance of any tests. They must be aware that their daily activities may be affected by interruption of power.
