Frequently asked questions

If you don't see your question listed, please contact us.

What is an EICR and who needs one?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of your electrical system. Landlords are legally required to have one carried out at least every 5 years, and homeowners often request one before selling or after buying a property.

How long does an electrical inspection take?

For a typical 2–3 bedroom home, an EICR usually takes around 2–4 hours. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. We’ll let you know in advance what to expect.

What happens if my installation fails the inspection?

If your electrical system is found to be unsafe or non-compliant, we’ll clearly explain the issues and provide an estimate to carry out the necessary remedial work.

Can I use the electrics while the inspection is being done?

In most cases, if you assume the power needs to be turned off most of the test. But can be turned back on at short notice. We always keep disruption to a minimum.
