What is an EICR and Why Do You Need It?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an in-depth inspection of your property’s electrical systems and installations. It’s essential for identifying potential issues such as overloaded circuits, electrical shock risks, or fire hazards. Our team provides EICR reports for:
- Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates
- Social Housing Associations
- Homebuyer Electrical Reports
- Commercial EICR for Offices and Retail Space
With the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, landlords must have an EICR in place for all rental properties. We make compliance easy by offering fast and thorough inspections, ensuring you meet legal requirements.

FAQs About EICR and Electrical Testing in Essex
Q: How often do I need an EICR for my rental property in Essex?
A: For rental properties, EICR inspections are legally required every 5 years or with each change of tenancy. This ensures that all electrical installations remain safe for tenants. It’s important to keep the EICR certificate up to date to comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020.
Q: How long does an EICR take?
A: The duration of an EICR inspection depends on the size and condition of the property. Typically, a domestic EICR takes about 2-4 hours for an average-sized property, while commercial EICRs may take longer due to the complexity of the installations. We provide fast turnarounds and aim to deliver your EICR report within 48 hours of the inspection.
Q: Can I still rent my property if the EICR is unsatisfactory?
A: No, if your EICR is rated as unsatisfactory, you must address the issues highlighted in the report before renting out the property. Remedial work should be completed within 28 days to meet legal requirements. After completing the necessary repairs, a new EICR must be issued to confirm that the property is safe for tenants.
