EICR: An Essential Certificate for Landlords

As mandated by law, every rented property must undergo an EICR inspection either every five years or at the start of each new tenancy, whichever is sooner. 

The purpose of this regulation is to ensure that the electrical system and appliances within the property are safe for use. 

Upon completion of a successful inspection, a certified EICR is issued as proof of the property’s electrical safety.

An EICR inspection not only reveals the condition of your electrical system but also identifies whether any minor or urgent repairs/upgrades are needed. 

Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to severe penalties, making the EICR a vital requirement for every landlord.

Our Service is Not Just for Landlords

Apart from landlords, homeowners, home sellers, and homebuyers can also benefit from an EICR inspection. 

It is advisable for homeowners to have their property inspected every ten years, while sellers and buyers may choose to have an EICR completed to verify the condition of a property’s electrical system before the sale or purchase.

EICR Procedure by TM Hughes & Son

Our qualified Electricians follow a thorough procedure for an EICR inspection. 

This involves a visual inspection and testing of the electrical system to identify any damage, deterioration, or potentially dangerous faults. 

The inspection ensures adherence to the British Standard for Electrical Safety (BS 7671), covering consumer units, RCD fuses, internal wiring, light fittings, sockets, and earthing and bonding.

Faults, if any, are categorised into three codes: 

• Code C1 (dangerous and requires immediate attention)
• Code C2 (potentially hazardous if a fault occurs)
• Code C3 (not dangerous but could benefit from recommended work)

If any faults are identified, we provide an immediate quote for the necessary repairs.

Once the property has passed, an EICR Certificate is written and issued.
