What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document produced following an inspection and testing of your property's electrical installation. The report assesses:

•The condition of all electrical wiring, circuits, and accessories
•Compliance with current BS 7671 wiring regulations
•Safety of electrical installations and potential hazards
•Deterioration and wear over time
•Any damage or defects that could pose a risk

The report will classify any issues found as C1 (dangerous - immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous - urgent remedial action required), C3 (improvement recommended), or satisfactory. You'll receive a clear, comprehensive report with recommendations for any necessary remedial work.

When Do You Need an EICR?

✓Homeowners: Recommended every 10 years or when buying/selling a property
✓Property Changes: After renovations, extensions, or significant alterations
