Book Your Hassocks EICRAn Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a mandatory legal requirement for all rental properties in Mid Sussex. Valid for 5 years, this certification ensures that your electrical systems—from the fuse board to the final socket—are safe for tenants across Hassocks, Keymer, and Ditchling.
Under the 2020 Regulations, private landlords in Hassocks must provide a satisfactory EICR to new and existing tenants. Failure to maintain these standards can lead to enforcement action from Mid Sussex District Council. Our network of accredited engineers specialise in local domestic EICRs, ensuring your cottage, flat, or family home is fully compliant with BS 7671 standards.
Many insurers covering homes in the BN6 area require a professional EICR to validate fire-related claims. Without proof of regular testing, your policy could be voided.
The local authority has the power to issue fines of up to £30,000 for non-compliance. A valid EICR is your primary defense against such civil penalties.
Beyond the paperwork, an EICR identifies life-threatening faults such as arcing, lack of proper earthing, and overheating. We provide Hassocks residents with a clear roadmap of any required remedial works, ensuring your property remains a safe environment for your family or tenants.

When engineers inspect your property, they categorise findings into specific codes. Understanding these is essential for maintaining your legal "Satisfactory" status.
C1 codes indicate immediate danger, while C2 codes signify urgent potential danger. Either of these results in an 'Unsatisfactory' report, meaning remedial work must be completed within 28 days.
A C3 code identifies a non-compliance with the latest wiring regulations that isn't currently dangerous. A property can still receive a 'Satisfactory' overall rating even if C3 codes are present.
