An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the only way to determine whether your electrical installation is safe for continued service.
A full typed report will be issued when your property(s) are inspected and tested.
This report is like an M.O.T and will detail all aspects or your electrical installation. A list of defects and remedial works required will be issued, which will show you any areas of your electrical installation which require attention. These are coded from 1 to 3 depending of the severity of the deviation.
When purchasing a house it is now common place for a survey to indicate a competent Electrician is to carry out a Condition Report. Even if the survey does not indicate this, it would be prudent to have a Condition Report carried out to ensure you are aware of any potential or existing problems that may go un-noticed.
Privately owned domestic properties are recommended to be inspected and tested every 10 years or change of occupancy to ensure that the existing electrical installation is safe for continued use.
New regulations for the Private Rental Sector states that landlords renting a Domestic Property must have the electrical installation in the property tested every 5 years to ensure that it is kept up to a safe and satisfactory standard. Due to the increased wear expected on a property rented to tenants it is imperative to ensure that any damage to any of the electrical installation is repaired as soon as possible.
Once the condition of your installation(s) has been ascertained we can provide a free no obligation quote for any required works to allow the installation to be made safe and satisfactory for continued service.
