Industry change · October 2026

Who can sign an EICR is changing.

From 1 October 2026 the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification moves from firm-level to individual competence. Every electrician carrying out periodic inspection and testing must meet three requirements.

If you are a landlord or agent, check that whoever tests your properties meets them. A report from an unqualified inspector may not stand up if it is ever questioned.

10/10Safety check and remedial work
Jack and Ryan were really polite and helpful. Provided a detailed report and quote and took the time to make sure we really understood all the information they gave us and answered all our questions. They carried out the work quickly and to a high standard. They worked incredibly hard to meet our deadline and we wouldn’t hesitate to use the company again.

10/10Outside lights
Work was great, couldn’t do enough for me, very polite and stayed until the job was complete I would 100% use again
Verified reviewer · NG17 · February 2025
9/10House rewire
We had to have a rewire at very short notice, and they managed to squeeze us in. Ryan, Jack, Connor and Justin did a sterling job. All our requests were fulfilled and they worked very hard, throwing manpower at the job, they even worked out of hours without a grumble. The end price was also very reasonable. We also used them for the electric installation of a new kitchen. Again, they threw manpower at the job and came up with some very valid suggestions. We will definitely use them again for other electrical work.

Work completed promptly and efficiently. Job detail was explained well. I will contact again for jobs in the near future. Will recommend highly to others.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and fittings. It records anything that is damaged, deteriorated or no longer meets the current standard, BS 7671.

How often do I need one?

Private landlords in England must have the installation tested at least every five years and give a copy to tenants. For owner-occupied homes, every ten years is recommended, and on buying or selling. Commercial premises are usually every five years.

What do C1, C2, C3 and FI mean?

C1 is danger present and is made safe on the spot. C2 is potentially dangerous and needs fixing. C3 is an improvement recommended. FI means further investigation is needed. Any C1, C2 or FI makes the report unsatisfactory.

How long does it take?

Most houses and flats take a few hours. Power is switched off for parts of the test, so we agree timings with you or your tenants in advance.

What happens if my property fails?

We give you a fixed-price quote for the remedial work. Once it is done we issue confirmation so you can show the property is now satisfactory.
