Core Areas We Serve – Others on Request
An EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report, and what that is essentially is a formal report on the condition of your property’s electrical systems. It identifies defects, flags any regulatory non-compliances, and confirms whether the installation meets a safe standard. You get a written certificate at the end of it that documents everything the inspector found and any recommendations they’ve made.
The first thing you need to do is book an appointment online or over the phone. From there, we send over a digital confirmation, and you can easily adjust the schedule if needed.
On the day, one of our qualified electrical inspectors arrives and works through your entire electrical installation. They check distribution boards, light fittings, wiring systems, cables, sockets, switches, and consumer units. The electrical circuits go through a range of visual inspections and electrical tests, all in accordance with BS7671, the national standard for electrical installations.
Once the inspection is complete, we compile the EICR report, quality-check the findings, and send the certificate to you by email. If any defective work comes up, we include a no-obligation quotation for remedial repairs at the same time. The certificate details whether your electrical system passed, lists any remedial work required, and shows the overall condition of your electrical wiring.
An EICR in Croydon typically takes between 1 and 4 hours. The time depends on the size of the property, the complexity of the electrical system, how accessible the installations are, and the number of circuits being inspected.
If your EICR comes back with defects, we carry out remedial electrical work to repair those issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. Once we’ve completed the repairs, we issue certification for each one and a new Satisfactory EICR dated to the inspection day. All our remedial work comes with a 12-month guarantee on parts and labour.
If your EICR is Satisfactory with no defects, you’re all set. You don’t need to do anything further. If there are C3 recommendations, you have the option to get us to complete those improvements so your installation fully meets the latest regulations.
Here’s why:
An EICR reduces the chances of electrical fires, electric shocks, and property damage from faulty wiring. Once your building passes an EICR inspection from a qualified person, you know the electrics are safe for tenants, staff, and visitors.
Croydon has a mix of newer builds and older properties. Many older buildings have been rewired over the years to meet modern standards. A Satisfactory EICR proves your property complies with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
If an electrical incident occurs, an up-to-date EICR from an experienced electrical engineer is your documented proof that you took the right steps. It shows you’ve checked the system against the latest regulations and confirmed that critical safety measures, like residual current devices, are working properly. Since most insurance providers require regular testing as a condition of coverage, having this valid electrical certificate completely strengthens your position if you ever need to make a claim.
An EICR in Croydon also flags inefficiencies in your electrical system. If your wiring or circuits are wasting energy, the inspector will highlight those areas. Making improvements based on the report lowers your energy costs and reduces your carbon footprint.
When an EICR identifies underlying issues early, you fix small problems before they become big ones. Faulty wiring caught during an inspection costs far less to repair than damage from a fire or a major electrical failure.
If you are a landlord or property owner in Croydon and you do not have a current EICR, you are at serious risk. Saying you simply did not know about the state of your electrical systems is not a valid legal defense. If you are found guilty of non-compliance with current safety standards, you face severe penalties, including fines of up to £30,000.
But the financial exposure goes way beyond just dodging a government fine. If there is an electrical fault or a fire and you have no valid EICR to show, your insurer will argue that you neglected your maintenance responsibilities. This effectively invalidates your coverage, and you could easily find yourself paying for the catastrophic property damage, the legal fees, and the government penalties entirely out of your own pocket.
An EICR must be completed by a qualified and approved electrical inspector who understands the wiring regulations, current electrical safety standards, and the types of danger present in modern electrical equipment. All our Hexo inspectors meet that standard. They are qualified, approved, and bring over 15 years of experience. We are registered with NAPIT and NICEIC as an approved company for conducting electrical inspections, and we carry £5 million in public liability insurance.
We work with landlords, homeowners, and businesses to ensure compliance with all current regulations. With speedy remedial electrical work and fast certificate turnaround times, you book, we inspect, and you get your certificate.

Between 1 and 4 hours depending on the property size and number of circuits.
We provide a no-obligation quote for remedial work. Once the repairs are complete, we issue a new Satisfactory EICR.
For landlords, the Electrical Safety Standards regulations require remedial work to be completed within 28 days of the EICR, or sooner if C1 defects pose immediate danger.
Every 5 years for rental properties. Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes. Commercial properties should be inspected every 5 years.
