Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Scarborough

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a written document provided by industry-certified electricians after performing an electrical inspection of a home or commercial property. The EICR is issued in accordance with the National Safety Standards.

During the inspection, an electrician will:

  • Highlight potential fire hazards and electric shock risks in your electrical installations
  • Reveal overloaded electrical circuits or equipment
  • Identify lack of earthing or bonding
  • Pinpoint any defective DIY electrical work

We inspect over 5,000 properties every month, making us the largest provider of property certificates in England. Thanks to our prompt and reliable services, we currently hold a 4.5 out of 5 rating in TrustPilot.

 

The EICR Process

Wires, cables, and consumer units are often hidden from view, but they’re just as prone to wear and tear as any other appliance.

An in-depth inspection will identify any deterioration, defects and damages that could put you and your tenants in danger. In addition, the electrician may also recommend corrective actions to improve the safety of your electrical system.

During an EICR test, the inspector will pay close attention to:

  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Extent of any deterioration or damage due to misuse
  • Serviceability of equipment including fuses, circuits, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of necessary identification and notices
  • Modifications to the property that may have resulted to defects in the electrical installations

 

Electrical safety checks should only be carried out by trained professionals. Our experienced team will handle everything with utmost precision and efficiency, so you can focus on more crucial tasks.

EICR Scarborough

Information in the EICR

An EICR indicates the following information:

 

  • Details about the property and the inspection
  • Limitations to the inspection such as hard-to-reach areas in the property
  • Observations about the condition of electrical installations in use
  • Summary of all the tests performed and their results
  • Necessary corrective steps
  • Signature of the inspector

Why Do I Need an EICR?

EICR testing is usually carried out when the property is new and when you’re expecting a change in occupancy. This lets you identify any damage that arose during the previous tenancy and fix them before a new tenant moves in. 

Commercial property owners are required to schedule an EICR every five years. Older properties may need more frequent inspections due to wear and tear.

  • For New Tenants – Starting 1 July 2020, new tenants must be issued a satisfactory EICR before they arrive
  • For Current Tenants – Starting 1 April 2021, all current tenants must be provided with a satisfactory EICR

 

Landlords are required to furnish copies of the EICR within 28 days after the inspection. They must also keep a copy of the report until the next inspection.

 

How Much Does an EICR Cost?

The cost of an EICR will depend on the following factors:

  • Location
  • Age of the property
  • Size of the property
  • Extent of testing required

 

Our electricians will ensure every single installation is evaluated. We aim to give you clients the best value for their money so we only offer solutions that suit your unique needs.
