Electrical safety is not just a legal requirement – it’s essential for protecting your property and everyone who lives in it. At Landlord Certifications, we provide comprehensive Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) to identify potential hazards and ensure your home’s electrical systems meet all UK safety standards.
Our team of NICEIC and NAPIT certified electricians conduct thorough inspections of your property’s wiring, sockets, fuse boxes and all fixed electrical installations. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, tenant or property buyer, our EICR service gives you peace of mind that your electrics are safe and compliant.
A professional EICR follows a rigorous, multi-stage methodology designed to thoroughly evaluate every aspect of your property’s electrical systems. The process begins with an initial assessment where the electrician reviews the property’s age, size, and electrical layout to determine the appropriate testing approach. This planning stage ensures no critical components are overlooked during the inspection.
The physical inspection starts with a comprehensive visual examination of all accessible electrical installations. Qualified electricians meticulously check:
Consumer units (fuse boxes) for correct labeling, adequate capacity, and proper RCD protection
All visible wiring for signs of damage, deterioration or improper installation
Socket outlets and switches for secure fitting, proper earthing, and absence of overheating marks
Light fittings and fixtures for correct installation and appropriate load ratings
Earthing and bonding arrangements to verify they meet current safety standards
Every accessible socket, switch and fuse box examined for damage, wear or safety risks to catch visible faults.
Advanced equipment checks wiring integrity, insulation resistance and earthing quality to uncover hidden electrical issues.
RCDs, circuit breakers and protective systems tested to ensure they'll activate correctly during faults.
Clear, coded findings (C1-C3) with photos and plain-English explanations of any defects found.
Legally valid certificate proving your installation meets current BS 7671 wiring regulations. Equal importance with consistent structure
Conducting an EICR inspection involves a thorough assessment of a property’s electrical systems and installations to guarantee they meet current safety standards. We meticulously examine the integrity and functionality of wiring, protective devices, and connected apparatus. This extensive review ensures that all components conform to the UK’s rigorous electrical safety regulations, which are important for effective property maintenance.
During our inspections, we focus on identifying any deterioration, defects, or non-compliances that could pose potential safety hazards. Each circuit is tested for continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, and earth fault loop impedance to verify that safety measures are strong and reliable. We also assess the adequacy of earthing and bonding—key components that contribute significantly to overall electrical safety.
Our detailed reports provide clear, actionable insights and prioritize any remedial actions required to bring the electrical installations up to standard. This documentation is essential for homeowners, landlords, and property managers as it not only enhances safety but also aids in preserving the property’s value and compliance with legal standards.
