Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need an EICR for a rental property?

Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR carried out at least every 5 years. You must also provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.

What do the codes on an EICR mean?

C1 indicates danger present and requires immediate remedial work. C2 means potentially dangerous and should be addressed urgently. C3 is an improvement recommendation. FI means further investigation is required. Any C1 or C2 codes must be remedied within 28 days.

What standard is the inspection carried out to?

Our electricians inspect to BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations), which is the national standard for electrical installation safety in the UK. All engineers are registered and fully qualified.

How long does an EICR take?
