Many building insurance providers now require a valid EICR as a condition of cover. Without one, claims relating to electrical fires may be rejected, leaving your property investment at risk.

Beyond legal compliance, an EICR identifies hidden dangers such as overloaded circuits, lack of earthing, or fire risks within the consumer unit. Our engineers provide a clear summary of any remedial works required to bring your property up to current British Standards (BS 7671).

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.
