EICR Inspections for Homes
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, checks the safety and condition of your property’s fixed electrical system. This includes wiring, fuse boards, sockets, switches, circuits, and other parts of the electrical installation.
For domestic properties, an EICR can help identify faults, damage, deterioration, or potential safety risks before they become more serious. Whether you are buying a home, selling a property, renovating, or simply want peace of mind, we provide reliable electrical safety inspections with clear reporting and practical advice.
EICR Certificates & Electrical Safety Reports Explained
An EICR certificate confirms the condition of the electrical installation at the time of inspection. It is sometimes referred to as an electrical safety report or electrical condition report.
For homeowners, an EICR offers peace of mind by highlighting any issues that may need attention. It can also be useful when buying, selling, or renovating a property, giving you a clearer understanding of the safety and condition of the electrics. We ensure all reports are completed clearly and issued promptly following the inspection.

Domestic EICR FAQs
What is an EICR and why might I need one?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a formal inspection of a property’s fixed electrical installation. It checks whether the electrics are safe, suitable for continued use, and free from defects that could pose a risk. Homeowners may arrange an EICR for peace of mind, when buying or selling a property, or if the electrics are old or showing signs of wear.
How often should a domestic property have an EICR?
For homeowners, there is no single rule that applies to every property, but an EICR is recommended periodically to help ensure the electrical installation remains safe. It may also be advisable when moving into a new home, before major renovation work, or if you notice electrical issues such as tripping circuits, damaged sockets, flickering lights, or burning smells.
Is an electrical safety certificate the same as an EICR?
The term electrical safety certificate is often used to describe an EICR, although the formal document is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It records the condition of the electrical installation and highlights any issues found during testing.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
If an EICR is marked as unsatisfactory, it means one or more issues have been identified that need attention. The report will list these using recognised classification codes. We will explain the findings clearly and can discuss any remedial work required to bring the installation up to a safe standard.
Can I get an EICR before buying or selling a home?
Yes. An EICR can be useful before buying or selling a property because it provides a clearer picture of the condition of the electrical installation. It can help identify any issues early and give buyers or sellers greater confidence during the process.
