Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

Whether you're buying a property, checking the condition of an existing installation or arranging a routine electrical inspection, Electro Virium provides Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homes and businesses.

An EICR assesses the condition of your electrical installation, including wiring, circuits, consumer units or distribution boards, and protective devices. The inspection identifies potential safety issues, deterioration and areas that may require attention.

We'll explain what's involved, carry out the inspection and provide a report detailing our findings, including any recommended remedial work.

Whether you own a single rental property or manage several properties, Electro Virium provides electrical safety inspections to help landlords meet their legal responsibilities.

We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for rented accommodation, checking the condition of fixed electrical installations and identifying any faults or safety concerns. In England, private landlords are generally required to arrange inspections at least every five years, or sooner where specified.

We'll provide the inspection report, explain any issues identified and discuss the remedial work needed to bring the installation up to the required standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EICR and why might I need one?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of the safety and condition of a property's fixed electrical installation. It identifies potential hazards, deterioration and areas that may require attention. EICRs are commonly required by landlords and are also recommended for homeowners and commercial properties.

How often does a rental property need an electrical safety inspection?

In England, private landlords are generally required to have their property's electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report specifies a shorter interval. A copy of the report must be provided to tenants in accordance with the regulations. We carry out landlord electrical safety inspections and provide the appropriate documentation.

What happens if my property fails an EICR?

If an EICR identifies potentially dangerous defects or issues requiring further investigation, the report will explain the findings and classify them according to their severity. We can advise on the necessary remedial work and provide a quotation to address the issues, helping you bring your electrical installation into a safe condition.

What is PAT testing and does my business need it?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) involves inspecting and, where appropriate, electrically testing appliances to help identify potential safety issues. Although PAT testing itself is not universally required by law, businesses must ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. We can help assess and test portable electrical equipment as part of your workplace safety arrangements.

How much does an electrical safety inspection cost?

The cost depends on the size and type of property, the number of electrical circuits and the complexity of the installation. A small domestic property will typically require less testing than a large commercial premises. We provide quotations based on your property's requirements, so you know what to expect before work begins.

Understanding Your Electrical Inspection

What Do the Codes on Your EICR Mean?

We provide EICRs for homeowners, landlords and businesses throughout Macclesfield, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

Following an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), any defects or safety concerns identified during the inspection are recorded using classification codes. These help you understand the seriousness of each issue and whether further action is needed.

Following an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), any defects or safety concerns identified during the inspection are recorded using classification codes. These help you understand the seriousness of each issue and whether further action is needed.

C1

Danger Present

An immediate risk of injury exists.

Immediate action is required to

make the installation safe.

C2

Potentially Dangerous

A fault or defect could present a safety risk. Urgent remedial action is required.

C3

Improvement Recommended

The installation could be improved, but the observation does not, on its own, make the report unsatisfactory.

FI

Further Investigation Required

A potential safety concern needs further

investigation without delay to determine its cause and the action required.

What Happens If Your Report Is Unsatisfactory?

An EICR is normally classified as unsatisfactory if it contains a C1, C2 or FI observation. Electro Virium can explain the findings, recommend the necessary remedial work and provide a clear quotation before any repairs begin.

Once the issues have been addressed, we'll provide the appropriate documentation for the work completed.
