Service overview
What eicr reports actually involves.
What it is, An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of a property's fixed electrical installation, coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, with a 'satisfactory' or 'unsatisfactory' overall verdict.
Who it's for, Private landlords (mandatory every 5 years under the 2020 PRS regulations), letting agents, social landlords, commercial tenants, leaseholders and buyers wanting pre-purchase confidence.
When you need it, Every 5 years for tenanted residential, at every change of tenancy where the prior EICR is older than 12 months, every 1–5 years for commercial depending on use, and before any property purchase.
Why it matters, Failure to provide a satisfactory EICR within 28 days of a tenant request, or within 7 days of a local authority demand, carries fines of up to £30,000 per breach and invalidates landlord insurance.
What happens if you delay
The cost of putting it off.
Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented.
- 1
An unsatisfactory EICR makes the property legally unlettable until remedials are completed and re-certified.
- 2
Local-authority Selective Licensing officers in Blackpool actively audit EICR records, unsatisfactory or missing reports trigger immediate enforcement.
- 3
Insurance claims after an electrical fire are routinely refused when the most recent EICR is unsatisfactory or out of date.
- 4
C1 coded defects (immediate danger) require de-energising the circuit on the spot, leaving tenants without power until fixed.
- 5
Bundling 'remedials' into the EICR fee from cheap providers can mean paying twice for work that wasn't needed.
Our process
A five-step system, no surprises.
Step 1
On-site inspection
We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call.
Step 2
Written diagnosis & fixed quote
You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises.
Step 3
Scheduled installation
Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board.
Step 4
Testing & certification
Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal.
Step 5
Aftercare & 12-month guarantee
