Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

An EICR (also known as a landlord electrical safety certificate) is a formal inspection and test of a property’s electrical installation to identify any safety risks.

Regular testing is essential, regardless of the age of your fuse board, as faulty wiring is a leading cause of electrical fires in the UK.

Landlords of domestic and commercial properties are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years or at a change of tenancy. Failure to comply, including completing any
required remedial works, could result in fines of up to £30,000.

What will OJF do?

We will carry out a full, in-depth inspection and test of your electrical installation.

If the installation is satisfactory, you will receive a certified EICR for your records.
If the installation is unsatisfactory, you will receive a clear report detailing all non-compliances, supported with photographs where required.
A quotation will be provided for any remedial works needed to achieve a satisfactory certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of a property’s electrical installation to assess its safety and condition. Think of it as an MOT for your property.

How often does an EICR need to be carried out?

An EICR must typically be carried out every 5 years, or at a change of tenancy. Some commercial premises may require more frequent inspections depending on usage and risk.

Will my power be switched off during the inspection?

Yes. Power may need to be isolated temporarily during testing to ensure accurate results and safety. We will always minimise disruption.

Do you test properties with multiple fuse boards?

Yes. Properties with more than one fuse board can be inspected, and a bespoke quotation will be provided based on the size and complexity of the installation.

How long does an EICR take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the property. Most standard domestic EICRs are completed within a few hours, while commercial inspections may take longer.
