Why You Need an EICR in London
One of the main reasons for house fires in the UK is electrical problems. Regular testing is especially important in London, where many buildings are old and the wiring systems may not be up to date.
Without a valid EICR, landlords may face:
- Enforcement action from local authorities
- Financial penalties of up to £30,000
- Insurance claim complications
- Increased liability in the event of injury or fire
Routine EICR inspections significantly reduce these risks by identifying hidden electrical hazards before they become dangerous.
For businesses, an up-to-date EICR supports insurance compliance, duty-of-care obligations, and workplace safety standards.

Legal Compliance & Regulatory Framework
Full Legal Compliance with UK Electrical Safety Regulations
We follow all UK laws and technical standards when we do our EICR inspections.
All Electrical Installation Condition Reports are completed in line with:
- BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations) says that all Electrical Installation Condition Reports must be done in a certain way.
- Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020
- UK Duty of Care obligations under Health & Safety law
Landlords have to follow the rules. A rented property must have a valid EICR, and it must be renewed at least once every five years.
Our reports are well-organised, ready for an audit, and completely compliant for councils, insurers, letting agents, and property managers all over London.
Is an EICR a Legal Requirement in London?
Yes, for rental properties.
Landlords must:
- Arrange inspection at least every 5 years
- Provide a valid EICR to tenants
- Complete remedial works if required
Failure to comply may result in enforcement action and financial penalties.Businesses rely on EICRs to meet duty-of-care and insurance obligations. Homeowners are advised to inspect every 10 years.

What Is an EICR Certificate?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough check and test of a property’s fixed electrical system. It is a formal safety assessment document that looks at the electrical installation’s condition, integrity, and compliance with the law.
It checks:
- Fixed wiring
- Consumer unit (fuse board)
- Sockets and switches
- Lighting circuits
- Earthing and bonding
- Protective devices (RCDs, breakers)
The purpose is to confirm the installation is safe for continued use and compliant with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
In simple terms, an EICR provides documented evidence that a property’s electrical system has been professionally inspected, tested, and assessed against current UK safety standards.
Our Expert EICR Process
You can get an EICR inspection done at any time of the year. A lot of landlords have EICR tests done before new tenants move in.

What Is Tested During an EICR Inspection?
During an EICR inspection, our engineers carry out a structured series of checks designed to assess both the visible condition and the technical performance of your electrical system.
Visual Inspection
During the visual inspection, we check for any visible damage, overheating, exposed wiring, or deterioration that may pose a safety risk.
Unsafe alterations are checked to ensure no unauthorised or poor-quality electrical modifications have been made that could compromise safety.
We inspect the consumer unit and circuits for inadequate or missing labelling to ensure clear identification and safe maintenance.
We verify that proper earthing and bonding are in place to reduce the risk of electric shock and ensure effective fault protection.
Dead Testing
Continuity testing is carried out to confirm that conductors are properly connected and that protective bonding is intact.
Insulation resistance testing checks for hidden cable damage or deterioration that could lead to short circuits or electrical faults.
Polarity checks ensure that wiring connections are correctly installed so that live and neutral conductors are not reversed.
Live Testing
Earth fault loop impedance (Zs) is measured to ensure fault protection will disconnect the supply within safe time limits.
RCD trip times are tested to confirm that residual current devices operate quickly enough to prevent electric shock.
Protective device functionality is verified to ensure circuit breakers and safety devices respond correctly under live operating conditions.
You receive a full digital report with clearly coded observations.
We offer complete EICR services for every type of property in London
Domestic EICR (Owner-Occupied Homes)
A Domestic EICR is designed for houses and flats that are occupied by the property owner. The main focus of this inspection is personal safety, fire prevention, and long-term electrical maintenance. During the inspection, the fixed wiring, consumer unit (fuse board), earthing and bonding arrangements, and RCD protection are carefully checked and tested.
Landlord EICR (Rental Properties)
A Landlord EICR is a legally required inspection for rented properties. Under UK regulations, landlords must maintain a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report to demonstrate that the property’s fixed electrical system is safe for tenants.
Commercial EICR (Business & Workplaces)
A Commercial EICR is carried out for offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, and other commercial premises. Commercial properties typically have higher electrical loads and increased operational risks compared to residential buildings.
What Happens After You Receive Your EICR?
Once your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is completed, the report will clearly state the overall result of the inspection.
There are three possible outcomes, and each one determines what happens next.
Satisfactory
A Satisfactory result means that no dangerous faults were identified during testing.
There are no C1 (Danger Present) or C2 (Potentially Dangerous) observations recorded. This confirms that the installation is considered safe for continued use at the time of inspection.
You do not need to carry out any immediate repairs. However, the report may still include C3 (Improvement Recommended) observations. These are not mandatory, but they highlight areas where safety could be enhanced to meet modern standards under:
- BS 7671
For landlords, this means you are compliant with the:
- Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020
You should keep the report safely stored and provide a copy to tenants or letting agents if required.
Unsatisfactory
An Unsatisfactory result means that serious safety issues were found.
This happens when the report includes:
- C1 – Danger Present (Immediate risk of injury)
- C2 – Potentially Dangerous (Urgent remedial action required)
- Or FI – Further Investigation Required
In this situation, the electrical installation is not considered compliant.
For landlords, repairs must typically be completed within 28 days (or sooner if specified), and written confirmation of remedial works must be obtained from a qualified electrician.
We clearly identify:
- What the fault is
- Why it is unsafe
- The level of urgency
- What corrective work is required
Once repairs are completed, we can issue written confirmation or an updated EICR confirming compliance has been restored.
Further Investigation (FI)
An FI (Further Investigation Required) outcome means that the engineer has identified a potential issue that requires additional diagnostic testing before a final safety decision can be made.
This does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous. It means more detailed examination is needed to determine the exact condition of the system.
After further testing, the issue will either:
- Be cleared with no action required
- Be reclassified as C2
- Or in rare cases, be marked as C1
We guide you through this process so you understand the findings clearly.
