What Happens During an EICR?

Our inspection typically takes 2-4 hours. We’ll examine your consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, and lighting circuits, conducting both visual and electrical testing. The process is non-invasive and we’ll work around your schedule.

You’ll receive a certificate showing whether your installation is satisfactory (pass) or unsatisfactory (fail), with all issues clearly categorised by urgency. Most inspections can be completed within the same week.

EICR FAQs

How long does an EICR take?
Typically 2-4 hours depending on property size. A standard 3-bedroom house takes around 3 hours.

What if my property fails?
We’ll provide a clear breakdown of issues and a transparent quote for remedial work. Most problems are straightforward to fix. Landlords must complete repairs within 28 days.

What’s the difference between an EICR and PAT testing?
An EICR tests the fixed electrical installation (wiring, consumer unit, sockets). PAT testing checks portable appliances. They’re completely different inspections.

How quickly can I get the certificate?
We email a digital copy the same day, usually within a few hours of completing the inspection.
