We test: every single cable in your property: all sockets, all lights, all light switches to ensure your safety. We record our observations and recommend what remedial action could be taken if a fault is encountered in easy to understand, jargon free language.
Issues with your electrical system within an EICR report are broken down into 3 different categories:
This observation means “Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required”
This code denotes an issue that presents an immediate threat to the safety of occupants, guests, and customers on the premises
This observation means “Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required”
The homeowner is at risk of shock
This observation appearing in an EICR report means “Improvement recommended”
A code C3 denotes that there is a non-compliance with the safety code, but it does not present immediate or potential danger.

An EICR test in short, is to check for danger within your property’s electrical system. EICR stands for Electrical Inspection Condition Report, and functions as a detailed inspection of your property’s electrical systems and installation. EICRs should be carried out by certified electricians who are fully insured, qualified and experiencdd to undertake such an important task.
Carrying out an EICR requires multiple tests to be performed on the electrical systems of your property. Among the tests we perform at Certified Electricians London are: Earth measurement reading, bonding test, continuity of CPC, continuity of ring, insulation resistance, polarity test, earth fault loop impedance, RCD test and visual circuit observation. Our certified contractors have decades of experience in identifying faults in electrical systems spanning all types of properties.

For rental properties, the law requires that an EICR is carried out every five years or at the change of tenancy. For homeowners, it’s generally recommended every 10 years, while businesses may need more frequent inspections depending on the industry and the type of property.
All properties should be retested periodically. Retest periods vary for different property types, to ensure optimal safety tests should be performed on the following intervals:
Domestic Property: 5 years
Rented Houses: 5 years (Mandatory)
Other Property Types: Please enquire
