EICR Testing for Landlords, Homeowners & Buyers

Properties in areas such as South East London and Kent often face specific electrical challenges due to their age and past upgrades. Common problems include outdated wiring systems that no longer meet current regulations, lack of RCD protection, and a history of mixed DIY electrical alterations. These issues can pose safety risks and increase the likelihood of electrical faults or fires.

Our EICR testing helps identify these concerns so they can be addressed promptly with professional remedial work, ensuring the safety and compliance of your property.

EICR testing is required for several types of property owners and situations. Landlords must regularly inspect rental properties to meet their legal obligations and keep tenants safe. Home buyers often request an EICR as part of their due diligence before purchase. Homeowners can also benefit from periodic inspections to detect ageing wiring or faults early.

During an EICR inspection, a qualified electrician performs a thorough check of key electrical components, including:

• Consumer unit and fuse board condition

• Earthing and bonding integrity

• Individual circuit tests for sockets, lighting, and fixed appliances

• Residual Current Device (RCD) functionality checks

• Identification of any observed dangerous (C1), potentially dangerous (C2), or improvement (FI) issues

The inspection report clearly outlines the results and any required remedial work to bring the installation up to standard.
