Electrical Testing & EICR Reports
Landlords in England must have the electrical installations in their rental properties inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years. As an NICEIC Approved Contractor we carry out that inspection, issue the Electrical Installation Condition Report, and — unlike an inspection-only firm — can carry out any remedial work identified straight away.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How often does a rented property need an EICR?
At least every five years, or on change of tenancy if the report says so. The report must be given to tenants and, on request, to the local authority.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
Any C1 or C2 observations must be remedied. Because we are a full electrical contractor, we can quote and complete the remedial work ourselves rather than sending you elsewhere.
Do you test commercial premises?
Yes, we carry out testing on domestic and light commercial installations.
