WHAT ACTUALLY GETS TESTED

What an EICR Inspection Checks

An EICR includes inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation to assess whether it is in satisfactory condition for continued use. The exact extent and any limitations are recorded on the report.

Electrical circuits and protective devices checked.

Inspection and test results recorded.

Any observations and EICR codes clearly reported.

YOUR TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

Satisfactory vs Unsatisfactory EICR

An EICR is assessed as satisfactory or unsatisfactory for continued use. C1, C2 or FI observations normally result in an unsatisfactory outcome, while C3 alone does not.

Satisfactory EICR

Safe for continued use

PASS

The installation is considered satisfactory for continued use at the time of inspection. C3 observations may still be recorded as recommended improvements.

  • Certificate issued and emailed within 24–48 hours
  • Landlords can hand it straight to tenants or the council
  • Any C3 items are listed as optional improvements only
Next inspection: up to 5 years for rentals, 10 for owner-occupied — unless the report sets an earlier date.

Unsatisfactory EICR

Remedial action required

ACT

A C1, C2 or FI observation means remedial work or further investigation is required.

  • Every observation explained in plain English, not jargon
  • Fixed written quote for the remedial work within 24 hours
  • We re-issue the certificate once the work passes — same team
Landlord deadline: C1, C2 and FI items must be put right within 28 days of the report date.

Either way you get the same thing from us: a straight answer and a fixed price — never a scare story attached to an open-ended bill.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

The things people ask us before booking

No sales script — just the honest answer to what landlords, homeowners and agents ask us every week.

For a typical London flat or small house, allow 2–4 hours. Larger properties, older wiring or boards with a lot of circuits take longer — we would rather spend the extra hour than sample-test and miss something. Your engineer will give you a realistic window when they arrive.

We price by the number of circuits, because that is what actually drives the work. From £75 for studios and small flats (up to 6 circuits), from £109.99 for most 4–6 bed houses and HMOs (7–12 circuits), and a fixed written quote for larger or commercial installations. The price you are given is the price you pay — VAT included.

Landlords in England must have a valid EICR at least every 5 years, and a new tenancy should never start on an expired report. Owner-occupiers are advised to test every 10 years, and businesses commonly every 5 years or sooner depending on the environment. If your report recommends an earlier date, that date wins.

An unsatisfactory result means at least one C1, C2 or FI observation was recorded. It is not a disaster — it is a list. We explain each item in plain English, quote the remedial work within 24 hours, complete it, and re-issue your certificate. Landlords have 28 days from the report to get the work done.

Someone needs to give the engineer access to the consumer unit and every room. Power is switched off in stages while circuits are tested — usually a series of short outages rather than one long one. Tell us in advance about home working, medical equipment or freezers and we will plan the order around it.

Your digital certificate lands in your inbox within 24–48 hours, with the full schedule of test results and any observations. Landlords get a pack that is ready to forward straight to tenants or the council, and we keep a copy on file if you lose it.

Still not sure? Call 020 3386 1854 and speak to an engineer, not a call centre.
