Before You Arrange an EICR

What does it cover? An EICR records the condition of an existing fixed electrical installation within the agreed extent and limitations. It is not a guarantee that every concealed defect will be found, and remedial work is quoted separately.

How do I arrange it? Send the property postcode, bedrooms, number of consumer units and circuits if known, occupancy and any outbuildings or specialist equipment. An enquiry requests a quotation; the appointment is confirmed directly.

When will I receive the report? After the inspection, reports are issued after payment, usually within 48–72 hours of payment being received. Tell us about any deadline before booking. Immediate safety findings are explained promptly.

Guide Pricing

EICR Pricing in Kettering

A typical two-bedroom domestic property with one consumer unit and up to eight circuits starts from £175.

Other domestic properties receive a fixed quotation based on the number of circuits, consumer units and scope of the installation. Commercial installations are individually surveyed and quoted according to circuit count, premises type, access and testing requirements.

Remedial work is not included in the inspection price and will not be carried out or charged without your approval.

What Can Affect the Price
  • ✓Additional consumer units, garages or outbuildings
  • ✓Higher circuit counts or limited access
  • ✓Solar PV, EV charging equipment or electric heating
  • ✓Three-phase supplies
  • ✓Missing or inaccurate circuit identification
Understanding EICRs

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) records the findings of an inspection and testing of an existing fixed electrical installation. It identifies observed defects, potential hazards and matters needing attention against BS 7671, within the agreed extent and recorded limitations.

In England, rented homes covered by the electrical safety regulations need inspection and testing at intervals of no more than five years, or sooner where the report specifies. Requirements now also extend to social housing. See current landlord guidance for duties, exceptions and transitional arrangements. For ongoing portfolio support, see our landlord electrical services.

C1 — Danger present. Immediate remedial action required. Do not use until fixed.
C2 — Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action required.
FI — Further investigation required without delay.

Inspection Findings

EICR Case Study: Kettering

At a two-bedroom rental property in Kettering, we found Class I metal light switches without an effective earth connection, inconsistent ring-final continuity readings requiring further investigation, and a higher-than-expected continuity reading on the upstairs lighting circuit.

The report was recorded as unsatisfactory. We separated observations requiring remedial work from those requiring further investigation, then gave the customer a clear explanation and quotation for the appropriate next steps.

Recommendation Based on Evidence

We assessed the actual observations and did not automatically recommend a complete rewire or consumer-unit replacement.

Customer and property-identifying details have been withheld for privacy.

Who Needs an EICR

Why You Might Need an EICR

Landlords
Legal responsibility to ensure electrical safety in rental properties. An EICR is required at least every 5 years, or sooner where recommended. A valid satisfactory report can be provided to new tenants without a fresh inspection while it remains in date.
Business Owners
Commercial EICRs support planned maintenance, workplace safety records and duty-of-care decisions. The appropriate inspection interval depends on the installation type, use, risk assessment and previous report.
Homeowners
Buying or selling a property, carrying out renovations, or living in an older home. An EICR gives you peace of mind and documentation for solicitors and insurers.
Letting Agents
Tell us the number of properties, their locations and any reporting deadlines so the proposed scope and availability can be discussed.

Common Questions

EICR — Frequently Asked Questions

After the inspection, reports are issued after payment, usually within 48–72 hours of payment being received. Tell us about any deadline before booking. Immediate safety findings are explained promptly.
In England, rented homes covered by the electrical safety regulations require inspection and testing at least every five years, or sooner if the report specifies. Landlords must give existing tenants a copy of the report within 28 days and new tenants a copy before occupation. See the current government guidance for scope, exceptions and social-housing transitional arrangements.
A typical two-bedroom domestic property with one consumer unit and up to eight circuits starts from £175. Other domestic properties receive a fixed quotation based on the number of circuits, consumer units and scope of the installation. Commercial installations are individually surveyed and quoted according to circuit count, premises type, access and testing requirements. Remedial work is not included in the inspection price and will not be carried out or charged without your approval.
The time needed depends on the installation, circuit count, access and any issues found. We discuss the expected inspection duration when confirming the scope. Tell us about access restrictions and any reporting deadline before booking.
If observations result in an unsatisfactory report, we explain the classification codes and provide a clear quotation for appropriate remedial work or further investigation. An unsatisfactory report does not automatically mean the property needs a complete rewire or consumer-unit replacement. Where remedial work is completed, appropriate verification and report documentation are provided.
Follow the next-inspection date and recommendations in the report. The appropriate interval depends on the installation and its use. Rented homes covered by the English regulations have a maximum five-year interval, which can be shorter where specified. Homeowner and commercial recommendations should be considered for the individual installation.
A buyer or solicitor may request an EICR to understand the condition of the electrical installation. Agree the inspection scope and any transaction deadline before booking. A report describes the findings at the time of inspection; it is not a guarantee against every future or concealed fault.
