What is an EICR?

What is
an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document produced after a thorough assessment of the electrical installations within a property. It identifies any deficiencies against the UK standard for electrical safety, BS 7671.

The report grades any issues found using a coding system: C1 (immediate danger, must be fixed before the certificate is issued), C2 (potentially dangerous, must be rectified within 28 days), C3 (improvement recommended but not legally required) and FI (further investigation required).

A satisfactory EICR is valid for 5 years for rental properties and is recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes. Mortgage lenders increasingly require an EICR where electrical concerns are flagged in a home survey.

Why you need it

Why London
homeowners choose us.

01
Legal requirement for landlords

Since 1 April 2021, all landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR. New tenancies require one before the tenancy starts. Existing tenancies require renewal every 5 years. Failure to comply carries fines of up to £30,000.

02
Required for home purchases

Mortgage lenders and solicitors frequently require an EICR where a home survey flags electrical concerns. We can carry out same-day inspections to keep your purchase on track.

03
Insurance compliance

Many home and landlord insurance policies require up-to-date electrical certification. An EICR protects your policy validity as well as your tenants.

04
Peace of mind

For owner-occupiers, an EICR gives confidence that your home's electrics are safe, particularly important in pre-1970s properties or after any significant renovation work.

Common questions

Everything
you need to know.

Call 07498 597339
How long does an EICR take?+
Most 1–3 bed properties take 2–4 hours. A 4–5 bed property typically takes 3–5 hours. HMOs and commercial properties vary depending on circuit count, we'll give you a time estimate when booking. Our engineer will need access to all rooms, the loft if accessible, and the consumer unit.
What happens if my EICR fails?+
An EICR doesn't technically 'fail', it receives a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory outcome. If unsatisfactory, the report will list C1 (immediate danger) or C2 (potentially dangerous) items that must be rectified. C1 items must be fixed before the certificate is issued. C2 items must be addressed within 28 days. GMAS Group can carry out all remedial works and re-issue the certificate on the same day where possible.
Do tenants need to be present during an EICR?+
No, the engineer needs access to the property but tenants do not need to be present. Many landlords arrange access directly. We can also liaise with tenants directly if you prefer. We carry ID and certification and will handle the appointment professionally.
Can you do an EICR and remedial works on the same day?+
Yes, in most cases. If C1 or C2 faults are identified, our engineer carries a stock of common materials and can often carry out straightforward remedial works immediately. More complex remedial works such as consumer unit replacements may require a follow-up visit, which we book at the earliest available slot.
What's the difference between an EICR and a PAT test?+
An EICR covers the fixed electrical installation — the wiring, sockets, fuse board and circuits built into the property. A PAT (Portable Appliance Test) covers portable electrical appliances such as kettles, toasters, lamps and white goods. Both are often required for rental properties. We can carry out both in the same visit.
Is an EICR the same as an electrical safety certificate?+
Yes, an EICR is the formal term for what is often called an electrical safety certificate. It is the document required by law under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. The terms are used interchangeably.
