Condition Reports
 

Is my electrical system safe?

It's essential to ensure the electrics in your home are safe for your protection. The best way to check this is by having a qualified electrician perform an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). In the UK, it’s recommended that domestic properties undergo this inspection every 10 years, or every five years if you rent your home. An EICR is also advisable before selling a property to inform buyers about the condition of the electrical systems. Commercial properties may require more frequent checks, and certain homes, like those with thatched roofs, may need an EICR for insurance purposes.

What happens on 'EICR'?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a check-up for your home’s electrical system. It involves a qualified electrician looking at the wiring, lights, sockets, and other electrical parts to make sure everything is safe and working properly.

They do two things during the check:

1. Visual inspection: They look at things like switches and sockets to see if they’re damaged or worn out, and they check the fuse box to see if it’s up to date.
2. Electrical testing: They test the wiring and circuits to ensure everything is working safely, including checking the earthing, wiring connections, and safety switches (RCDs).

After each inspection, we provide a detailed report, which can be shared with insurers or tenants if needed. If we find any safety concerns, we’ll include photos in the report, so you can clearly see the issues. We also offer a free, itemised quote for any necessary repairs!
