🔧 DIY Tips
EICR inspections are not DIY:
⚠️ Why you can't do this yourself
- Requires qualified electrician
- Needs specialist test equipment
- Must be Part P registered
- Certificate needs competent person signature
- Legal document for compliance
📐 What you can do
- Prepare for the inspection
- Clear access to consumer unit
- Know where all sockets are
- List any concerns you have
- Ask about anything you don't understand
💡 Pro tip: Before an inspection, check every socket and switch works. If you know about faults already, tell the inspector - saves time diagnosing.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EICR?
Electrical Installation Condition Report - a full inspection of your electrics. Tests wiring, sockets, switches, consumer unit. Identifies any faults or potential dangers. Required for landlords, recommended for homeowners.
Do landlords legally need one?
Yes - since 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR before tenants move in, and every 5 years during a tenancy. Fines for non-compliance are significant.
What if faults are found?
The report categorises findings by severity. Some need urgent attention (C1/C2), others are recommendations (C3). We explain what's found and can quote for remedial work.
How long is an EICR valid?
5 years for rental properties. Homeowners should check every 10 years, or when buying/selling. The certificate shows the recommended retest date.
