Ensure the safety of your property with an EICR test performed by NICEIC certified qualified tradesmen with decades of experience identifying and remedying electrical faults.

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.

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: 10 years
Rented Houses: 5 years
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.

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.

I recently had a hanging pendent ligts over the dining area. Spoke with David over the phone and he suggested us to go with wireless switch for our hanging pendent light. This surely saved us from opening up the walls for sorting out wires. On the day, Marlow came over to install the light and I'm very happy with the work he did. Very friendly and genuine guy. Would definetly come back for future electrical works if needed.

David and Marlowe are the best electricians I’ve ever had. Here’s why:They simply care: They replied to my emergency message immediately, even though it was late at night.Extremely professional: I was slightly panicked when my old electric shower stopped working, fearing major issues like cable damage under the flooring. Here's what they did to solve the problem: 1. They diagnosed the issue, causing minimal damage to my bathroom furnishings. 2. Even though the root cause turned out to be the worst case—cable damage under the floor—they managed to fix it smartly by rewiring from the other side of the wall. This saved me tons of money by avoiding hiring a builder to redo the flooring, and fixed the problem without needing to worry about the old underfloor cable forever!Highly efficient: The diagnosis and fix both happened within 2 hours.Respectful: They cleaned up the mess left by the work as much as possible.Fair and transparent pricing: David makes sure I know the price before the work is carried out. Very fair price comparatively. No hidden fees, no unwanted surprises.

David and his team have in the last few weeks repaired flood damage to a lighting circuit, conducted a full house survey, installed a new consumer unit and an EV charger. They've been brilliant: friendly, tidy, professional and competitive. Highly recommended.

Called David with an emergency as none of the electricity in my flat was working (no fridge/freezer, no WiFi). He immediately responded and was very patient with me and my spotty reception, managing to find the issue really quickly and restore the electricity, following up with advice for how to continue. Really professional, and seriously helpful.
