Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

Assumptions don’t pass inspections.

An EICR assesses the safety and condition of fixed wiring and distribution equipment in line with BS 7671. It identifies deterioration, damage, incorrect alterations and non-compliances – so you can address issues before they become failures or safety incidents.

We deliver clear coding, prioritised remedial actions, and sensible guidance for planned works. Ideal for landlord compliance, block management, planned maintenance and due diligence.

Why property managers should consider EICRs:

Protect occupant safety and reduce risk.

EICRs help identify electrical hazards such as deteriorated wiring, overloaded circuits, and unsafe installations before they cause harm.

Avoid costly insurance or compliance issues.

Many insurers and regulatory bodies require up-to-date EICRs. Having current reports helps avoid claims being invalidated or fines being issued

FAQs

Common questions about EICR inspections and reporting.

What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

An EICR is a formal inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a building to assess its safety and compliance with current regulations.

Who needs an EICR?

Property managers, landlords, and facility operators often require EICRs to meet legal obligations, protect occupants and satisfy insurance requirements.

What is the difference between a “drive-by” EICR and a full EICR inspection?

A “drive-by” EICR is an informal term often used to describe inspections that are completed very quickly with limited access, minimal circuit testing, or assumptions made about the installation.

A full EICR involves a thorough inspection and appropriate testing of the electrical installation, carried out in line with recognised standards. This approach provides a more accurate assessment of the system’s condition, highlights genuine safety issues, and produces a report you can rely on for compliance, asset management, and insurance purposes.

How often should an EICR be carried out?

Recommended intervals vary by building type and use, but many commercial, residential-letting and managed properties benefit from periodic EICRs — often every 3–5 years or in line with regulatory guidance.

What does “limitation” mean on an EICR, and why is it important?

A limitation on an EICR refers to any restriction that prevents parts of the electrical installation from being fully inspected or tested. This may include inaccessible areas, circuits that cannot be isolated, or sections of the installation that are not made available at the time of inspection.

While limitations can sometimes be unavoidable, they should be clearly justified and kept to a minimum. Overuse of limitations can reduce the reliability of an EICR and may leave unknown risks within the installation.

In some cases, limitations are used to reduce inspection time rather than reflect genuine access constraints. A properly conducted EICR should clearly explain any limitations and their potential impact, allowing property managers to make informed decisions.

What does an EICR inspection include?

A comprehensive assessment of consumer units, circuits, wiring, bonding and earthing, RCD performance, and other fixed electrical components. Any defects or safety issues are recorded.

Will testing disrupt building use?

Most testing can be completed with minimal disruption. We plan and communicate any required outages in advance.

Do you provide an EICR certification/report?

Yes — you’ll receive a professional, easy-to-interpret report with condition codes and any recommended actions.
