An Electrical Installation Certificate Report is a formal document that is produced following an assessment of your property’s electrical installations. We will check for potential danger within your property and provide a detailed inspection report. EICR inspections must only be carried out by certified electricians who are fully insured, qualified and experienced due to the importance of safety for those living, working and visiting your property..
During an EICR inspection in Kidbrooke, one of our qualified experienced electricians will inspect the electrical installations in your property. The electrician will carry out a visual inspection, checking for cracks, breaks and signs of overheating. We will also carry out multiple tests on the electrical systems of your property.

If you are a landlord an EICR is a legal requirement and must be carried out every 5 years to fulfil your legal obligations. While it is not a legal requirement as a domestic homeowner it is still recommended every 10 years to check the condition of the electrical installations in your home and ensure there are no dangerous deteriorations.
There are many other recommended reasons where an EICR is used to show an electrical installation is safe:
- When selling or buying a property, it can give the potential buyer additional information and clarity on the condition of the property. Requesting an EICR on a property that is being purchased is the best way to find out if work needs to be carried out on the electrical system
- Age of the electrical installation, the older the installation the more often an EICR should be carried out
- Misuse of the electrical installation in the property for example vandalism
- An EICR is also useful for general peace of mind that your property is electrically safe. EICR inspections in SE3 are not expensive to carry out and could save you a sizeable sum of money as an EICR will pick up a problem before it deteriorates further and causes costly damage.
