Councils ask for a current, satisfactory EICR when you apply for or renew an HMO licence, and it's a legal requirement for private rented HMOs anyway. We test HMOs with minimal disruption to tenants and can include the emergency lighting and fire alarm checks your licence may also require.

Yes. We can carry out the annual full-duration emergency lighting test to BS 5266-1 on the same visit, with certificates and logbook entries, and replace any failed fittings or batteries.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a building: consumer units and distribution boards, circuits, sockets, lighting and earthing. It records anything that is damaged, worn or doesn't meet the current wiring regulations (BS 7671), and gives the installation an overall result of satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

Private rented homes in England need one at least every five years by law. For businesses, the IET recommends a maximum of five years for offices, shops, schools and hotels, three years for industrial and leisure premises, and ten years for owner-occupied homes. Your insurer or your last report may set a shorter interval. See the full table.

Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, private landlords must have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years. You must give a copy of the report to existing tenants within 28 days, to new tenants before they move in, and to the local council within 7 days if they ask. Any remedial work must be done within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.

Any C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation) observation makes the report unsatisfactory. We make any C1 safe before we leave, with your agreement, then give you a fixed quote for the remaining remedial work. Our own NICEIC-approved electricians carry it out and we issue the paperwork to show it's been completed.

Each circuit has to be switched off briefly while it's tested, but we plan the order with you so servers, tills, freezers and critical equipment are protected. We regularly test early in the morning, in the evening, at weekends and in school holidays, so most businesses carry on as normal.

Yes. We carry out the annual full-duration emergency lighting test to BS 5266-1, with certificates and logbook entries, and replace failed fittings and batteries. We also offer thermal imaging of distribution boards and switchgear, which finds overheating connections while the building is running normally. Booking them together with your EICR saves a visit.

The price depends mainly on the number of distribution boards and circuits, the size and type of the building and when the testing needs to happen.
