Professional EICR Services in London

Do you need a professional electrical inspection for your property in London, Essex, or Kent?

What is an EICR

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.

How long will an EICR take and how much will it cost?

The time required to perform your assessment will depend on the size of your property. A 3-bedroom property on average takes around 3-4 hours. Our prices can be found below, for more details do not hesitate to get in touch.

How often should an EICR be conducted?

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.

Why do I need an EICR?

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

An EICR is a legal requirement as a landlord, and while it is not a legal requirement when selling a property, it can give the potential buyer additional information and clarity on the condition of the property. An EICR is also useful for general peace of mind when considering your electrical system.

Who can perform an EICR in London?

At certified electricians london we are NICEIC registered, hold full public and professional liability insurance and are qualified to the highest national standards in testing and inspecting electrical installations.

Is an EICR mandatory for landlords?

Yes, it is mandatory for landlords in the UK to have an EICR conducted every five years and provide a copy to tenants. This ensures the safety of the property and complies with legal requirements.

Our EICR process

We take the time to perform all the required tests to ensure your property’s electrical systems are completely safe.

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:

Code C1

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

Code C2

This observation means “Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required”

The homeowner is at risk of shock

Code C3

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked Certified Electricians London to replace few LED lights, install new cabinet lights in the kitchen, and fit two new fire alarms. They (Marlowe) arrived on time, were very courteous and professional, and got the job done in a short period of time. They were happy to provide advice on parts and to source them themselves (Marlowe left and came back with the new lights/alarms an hour later to finish the job on the same day). I booked them two days later to replace a bathroom extraction fan which they did in under 1 hour. Again, I was very happy with their punctuality, quality of work, and level of service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had a few jobs done by David and the team. Every time I have dealt with them they've been exceptional and always do a fantastic job. I really couldn't recommend them highly enough. I find they know their stuff and they are priced very reasonably. I will be using them again, for sure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlowe was a brilliant electrician - solved a problem that had baffled two previous electricians one of whom suggested we needed a total rewiring which would have cost thousands.  This was not necessary. He was very courteous & professional. David was also very helpful on the phone beforehand when I explained what the issues were. I have absolute faith in this honest & experienced company & I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Thank you so much David & Marlowe !
