Ensure your property is safe, compliant, and fully certified. We provide professional fault-finding, PAT testing, and comprehensive EICR inspections.

Overview

Understanding EICR and Its Importance

What is EICR? Short for Electrical Installation Condition Report, it is a formal document created by a qualified electrician after inspecting a property's electrical installations, assessing their safety and compliance with BS 7671 standards.

It is an inspection of fixed wiring, sockets, earthing, consumer units (fuse boxes), and circuits. The EICR identifies defects, risks, and non-compliance, ensuring your property is safe for occupants.

Benefits of EICR

  • Ensures the safety of tenants and property.
  • Prevents fire hazards and electric shocks.
  • Keeps you legally compliant with UK/EU regulations.
  • Validates your property insurance policies.

What Does an EICR Cover?

  • Consumer Units Inspection of fuse boxes and circuit breakers.
  • Wiring Systems Checking for wear, damage, or degradation.
  • Sockets & Switches Testing all light fittings and power outlets.
  • Earthing & RCDs Ensuring bonding safety and RCD functionality.

Appliance Safety

What is PAT Testing?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) proves that electrical items don't pose shock or fire risks. Any portable appliance that is plugged into a socket needs to undergo PAT testing.

Is PAT Testing Mandatory?

While highly recommended for all landlords to ensure safety, it is strictly mandatory for HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). Landlords must maintain communal area electrics and comply with licensing conditions set by councils.

Benefits of PAT Testing

  • Reduces the risk of electrical fires.
  • Protects tenants from electric shocks.
  • Demonstrates a clear duty of care.

Appliances Requiring Testing

Any appliance provided by the landlord requires testing, including:

Kettles
Toasters
Fridges
Microwaves
TVs
Vacuums
Lamps
Extension Leads
