Get in touch today to learn more about our EICR & PAT testing services.
An EICR – or Electrical Installation Condition Report – is a detailed inspection of your property’s fixed electrical wiring, circuits, and installations. It assesses the safety and overall condition of the electrical system to identify any potential hazards, defects, or areas of deterioration.
EICRs are vital for ensuring that your electrical installations meet current safety standards (BS 7671). Over time, wiring, and components naturally degrade, which can lead to electrical shocks, fires, or other serious hazards if left unchecked.
Landlords are legally required to have an EICR carried out at least every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. Businesses are also strongly encouraged to have periodic inspections to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Homeowners benefit too, as an EICR provides peace of mind that their property is safe and up to standard.
PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) involves the inspection and testing of electrical appliances that can be moved, such as kettles, computers, power tools, and extension leads. The purpose of PAT testing is to ensure these appliances are safe to use and do not pose a risk of electric shock or fire.
Regular PAT testing is recommended for workplaces, rental properties, and public venues to demonstrate compliance with health and safety regulations. It’s a straightforward, cost-effective way to reduce the risk of accidents and maintain a safe environment for staff and visitors.
Electrical systems are subject to wear and tear over time, even when they appear to be functioning normally. Loose connections, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits and faulty appliances can develop gradually and remain undetected until they become a serious safety risk. Regular EICR and PAT testing helps identify issues early, allowing repairs to be carried out before they lead to electrical failures, property damage or personal injury.
Employers have a duty to maintain safe electrical equipment within the workplace. Regular EICR and PAT testing can help businesses meet their obligations, reduce the likelihood of electrical accidents and create a safer working environment for staff and visitors. From small offices to large commercial premises, we provide reliable testing solutions tailored to your requirements.
Following any inspection or testing, we provide easy-to-understand documentation detailing the condition of your electrical systems and appliances. If any faults or areas of concern are identified, we’ll explain the findings clearly and advise on the most appropriate remedial action. Our goal is to help you maintain a safe and compliant property with minimal hassle.
For most rental properties, an EICR is required every five years or at the beginning of a new tenancy. Homeowners are generally advised to have an EICR carried out every 10 years, while commercial properties may require more frequent inspections depending on the nature of the premises and electrical usage.
Yes. Landlords are legally required to ensure the electrical installations within their rental properties are inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified electrician. A valid EICR helps demonstrate compliance with current regulations.
The duration of an EICR depends on the size and complexity of the property’s electrical installation. Most domestic inspections take between two and four hours, while larger commercial properties may require additional time.
