Certified EIC & EICR Inspections in London

Why Do You Need an EIC or EICR Certificate in London?

Electrical faults are one of the most common causes of property fires and electrical shocks. It’s critical to conduct routine EIC-electrical inspections and obtain a valid EICR-electrical certificate. These documents prove that your installation is safe and meets UK standards.

If you’re a landlord, UK legislation requires an EICR electrical safety certificate every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. For homeowners and business owners, an EIC electrical test is a smart investment for peace of mind. It also ensures protection against unexpected hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions ?

What’s the difference between an EIC and an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is issued for – 

  • Newly installed electrical systems 
  • Or when significant modifications are made to an existing system. 

It confirms that the work complies with current BS 7671 regulations and is safe to use.

On the other hand, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the condition of an existing electrical installation. It’s used to identify wear, damage, deterioration, and any safety concerns that may have developed over time.

For most rental properties, an EICR electrical inspection is legally required every five years or at the start of a new tenancy.

For owner-occupied homes, it’s recommended every 10 years, unless signs of electrical issues arise earlier.

Commercial properties may require inspections more frequently, often every 3 years or less.

Yes, especially for landlords. As per the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all rental properties must have a valid EICR. A copy must be provided to tenants at the start of their tenancy and to local authorities upon request.

It is not legally mandated for homeowners and businesses. However, having an up-to-date electrical certificate (EICR) is a best practice for safety and insurance purposes.

How much does an EICR cost in London?

The cost of an EICR in London typically depends on the size and type of the property. Prices start from:

  • Studio flats: from £79.
  • 1-2 bed flats: from £89.
  • 3+ bed houses: from £109.

We offer competitive pricing with no hidden fees. 

If issues are found, your report will include coding such as:

  • C1: Immediate danger – urgent action required.
  • C2: Potentially dangerous – action required soon.
  • C3: Improvement recommended – not unsafe, but not ideal.

We’ll guide you through the remedial work and provide a competitive quote. Once the issues have been resolved, we offer a follow-up inspection to issue a satisfactory EICR certificate.

Without proper certification, you may face:

  • Legal penalties or fines (especially for landlords).
  • Insurance claims being denied in the event of an electrical fire.
  • Electrical accidents due to unseen faults.
  • Reduced property value or delayed property transactions.
