Why do I need an EICR in Chingford E4 ?

It is essential that you carry out regular checks on the electrical systems and installations in your 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: 10 years
Rented Houses: 5 years
Other Property Types: Please enquire

If you are a Landlord an EICR is a legal requirement and should be carried out every 5 years to ensure the safety of those living, working and visiting the property.

While it is not a legal requirement for those that are not Landlords EICRs can be useful when selling or buying a property.  Before purchasing a property it is wise to ask the seller if they have a recent EICR.  This will give you additional information and clarity on the condition of the property’s electrics.  If they do not have an EICR you could request one.

 

An EICR has other benefits, it can highlight areas that are not performing efficiently which could increase your energy consumption and bills.  EICR can also find areas of potential deterioration before they become damaged and cause you costly damages and repairs and providing you with general peace of mind.

Our EICR process

Certified Electricians London Ltd take the time to perform all the required tests to ensure your property’s electrical systems are completely safe.  We check the earthing and bonding of equipment and installations in your property for safety.  We check for risk of shock or fire, any faulty wiring that could cause injury, we check your property’s equipment and circuits.

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 it will be listed in our report.  We will include the grade and reason for failure which will be broken down into the different categories below.


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.
