WHAT IS AN EICR CERTIFICATE?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document that assesses the safety of a property's electrical system. It identifies any issues that could present a risk and confirms whether the installation is safe for continued use.
EICR inspections are essential for maintaining safe electrical systems in both residential and rental properties.

Frequently Asked Questions?
How often does a landlord need an EICR?
Landlords in England are normally required to have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if recommended on a previous report.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
An unsatisfactory EICR means potentially dangerous electrical defects have been identified within the installation. These issues are usually classified as C1, C2 or FI observations and must be addressed before the installation can be considered safe. If defects are found, we can carry out the necessary repairs and provide certification once the work has been completed.
Do you provide EICRs for landlords and HMOs?
Yes. We work with landlords, letting agents and HMO property owners across Tooting and South West London, helping them remain compliant with current electrical safety regulations and tenancy requirements.
Do I need smoke alarms as a landlord?
Landlords are required to ensure suitable smoke alarm protection is installed within their rental properties. We can supply and install modern interlinked smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms to help improve tenant safety and compliance.
Can old wiring cause an EICR to fail?
Yes. Ageing or damaged wiring can present a safety risk and is frequently highlighted during EICR inspections. Depending on the condition of the installation, repairs or partial rewiring may be required.
How much does an EICR certificate cost in Tooting?
The cost of an EICR depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits being tested. We offer competitive fixed-price inspections for landlords, homeowners and businesses throughout South West London. You can also view our current pricing guide before booking.
Can you carry out repairs if my EICR fails?
Yes. We regularly help landlords and homeowners resolve issues identified during EICR inspections, including faulty wiring, damaged accessories and consumer unit defects. Once the work is complete, we can arrange any required certification.
What does an EICR inspection include?
An EICR involves inspecting and testing the property's electrical installation, including wiring, sockets, switches, circuits and protective devices. The inspection helps identify any defects that could affect safety or compliance.
My EICR identified problems with the fuse board. What should I do?
Older consumer units are one of the most common reasons for unsatisfactory EICR reports. If your fuse board no longer provides adequate protection, upgrading to a modern consumer unit may be recommended.
