EICR's 

​

We also offer general maintenance and safety checks, to give you peace of mind – especially useful if you’ve moved into somewhere new. We can complete an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This will give you a clear indication of the health of the wiring and electrical fixtures. 

​

What is an EICR?

​

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) formerly called Periodic Inspection Report (PIR) is an electrical survey to reveal if electrical circuits are overloaded, find potential hazards in the installation, highlight any lack of earthing or bonding and carry out tests on the fixed wiring of the installation. The report is known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and will establish the overall condition of all the electrics, state whether it is satisfactory for continued use and detail any work that might need to be done. We can advise you on the likely cost of this.

EICR's are often requested when a property is sold to give assurances of the condition of the electrics, this is not compulsory but can add value to your sale. What ever the reason for having an EICR contact us if you would like a thorough report carried out.

Private Rented Sector and Landlords - New Regulations

 

You may not be aware but the Government has laid The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.  Meaning landlords must ensure every fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. Until now this has only been advised.

 

The Regulations also state that a landlord is required to obtain a report of the results of the inspection and test, supply it to each tenant within 28 days and retain a copy until the next inspection is due. Please contact us for a quote if you need this carried out for a property that you rent out.
