Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of all fixed electrical installations to ensure they meet safety standards. It identifies issues like overloaded circuits, fire risks, and defective work.

Do I need an EICR every time a new tenant moves in?

Yes, you must provide a valid EICR to new tenants before they move in. If your existing EICR is valid (dated within the last 5 years), you can use that.

What happens if remedial work is needed?

upon completion of the EICR you will be advised in writing of any required remedial work, if we find anything that is dangerous requiring immediate attention we will remove the hazard via rectification or isolation while on site.
