What's Included in an EICR Inspection?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of the condition of an existing electrical installation. It helps identify potential safety hazards, deterioration and defects that may require attention.

Landlord EICR Certificates & Rental Property Electrical Testing

JTek Electrical provides Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for landlords, letting agents and property managers across High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

Electrical safety inspections help landlords identify potential hazards, assess the condition of electrical installations and meet applicable rental property safety requirements.

How Often Does a Landlord Need an EICR?

In England, private landlords must generally arrange for electrical installations in rented properties to be inspected and tested by a qualified person at intervals of no more than five years, or sooner where required by the previous report.

Electrical safety checks are also required before a new tenancy begins where a valid report is not already in place.

What Happens After an EICR?

Following an electrical inspection, the report records the condition of the installation and identifies any observations requiring attention.

Where an inspection identifies issues, the report may use classification codes including:

• C1 — Danger Present: Immediate action is required.

• C2 — Potentially Dangerous: Urgent remedial action is required.

• C3 — Improvement Recommended: An improvement is recommended.

• FI — Further Investigation Required: Additional investigation is necessary without delay.

For rented properties in England, where the report requires remedial or investigative work, landlords must generally ensure that work is completed within 28 days or the shorter period specified in the report.

Frequently Asked Questions About EICR Testing

• How much does an EICR cost?

The cost of an Electrical Installation Condition Report depends on the size and type of property, the number of electrical circuits and the complexity of the installation. Contact JTek Electrical for a quotation tailored to your property.

• How long does an EICR inspection take?

The duration depends on the size and condition of the electrical installation, the number of circuits and the accessibility of the equipment being inspected. Larger commercial properties and more complex installations generally require additional time.

• How often should an EICR be carried out?

For privately rented properties in England, electrical installations must generally be inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report requires it. Other properties should be assessed according to their use, condition and the recommended inspection interval.

• Can you carry out commercial EICR testing?

JTek Electrical provides electrical inspection and testing services for domestic and light commercial properties. Contact us to discuss your premises and inspection requirements.

• What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?

An unsatisfactory EICR identifies issues requiring further investigation or remedial work. The report explains the observations and their classification codes so that the necessary work can be planned.

• Do I need to turn off the electricity during an EICR?

Some electrical tests require circuits to be safely isolated, which may involve temporary interruptions to the electricity supply. Your electrician can explain the expected disruption before the inspection begins.
