What is an EICR Certificate?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of the fixed electrical installation within a property. During the inspection, we assess the condition of wiring, consumer units, sockets, switches, earthing and protective devices to identify any deterioration, damage or non-compliance with current electrical safety standards.
Once the inspection is complete, you'll receive a detailed report outlining:
The overall condition of the installation
Any safety concerns identified
Recommended remedial work (if required)
Whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory
Our reports are completed in accordance with the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
