What is an EICR certificate?
An EICR is an inspection that assesses the safety and condition of a property’s electrical installation. It identifies faults, deterioration, or non-compliance with current safety standards.
How often should an EICR be carried out?
Rental properties in the UK typically require an EICR every five years. Homeowners may choose periodic inspections to ensure safety.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 2–4 hours, depending on property size and circuit number.
What happens if my electrical installation fails the inspection?
If issues are identified, the report will include recommendations for remedial work. Once completed, the installation can be re-tested to confirm compliance.
Do landlords need an electrical safety certificate?
Yes. Landlords must ensure electrical installations are inspected regularly to confirm safety for tenants.
