An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an essential, in-depth inspection of your property’s fixed wiring and electrical installations, required by law for landlords every five years, and recommended for homeowners every ten. Our NICEIC inspectors thoroughly check for damage, wear and tear, and compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), issuing a clear report (formerly known as a Periodic Inspection Report).
A detailed EICR provides legal compliance, peace of mind, and clarity on the health of your electrical system.
