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.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of your electrical wiring and fixed equipment, carried out by our qualified engineers to ensure compliance with BS 7671 standards.
EICRs are required by residential landlords to meet legal obligations, and by homeowners or vendors providing safety certification during property sales.
For rental properties, landlords must have their electrical installations inspected by a qualified engineer at least every 5 years, or upon change of tenancy.
Our engineers perform visual inspections and technical electrical tests—such as continuity, insulation resistance, and earth fault loop impedance—on circuits and distribution boards.
C1 indicates 'Danger Present'—immediate remedial action is required. C2 indicates 'Potentially Dangerous'—urgent repair is needed. C3 indicates 'Improvement Recommended'—the installation is safe but does not meet current modern standards.
If your EICR is marked 'Unsatisfactory', our engineers will provide a clear, professional report and an itemised quote for the necessary remedial work to ensure the installation is safe and compliant.
