Electrical Installation Condition Report in West End

EICRs for Landlords in West End

As a landlord you are responsible for ensuring that the electrical installation is safe for the occupier to use, this has recently become a legal requirement for residential let properties. The best way to comply with legislation is by regular inspection and testing, and completion of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) by an NICEIC approved electrician. These reports are also known as a fixed wiring test or periodic inspection report.

Our Electrical Installation Condition Report satisfies the requirements of a landlord’s insurance policy and complies with legal requirements. It also helps to ensure your tenant is not at risk from fire or electric shock. 

The maximum interval between EICRs for a rental property is 5 years. We advise that regular visual interim inspections should also be carried out to ensure accessories have not suffered unreported damage that may place the tenant at risk. 

Please call us today to discuss your EICR requirements in West End.

Electrical Installation Condition Report for Home Owners and Home Buyers in West End

An Electrical Condition Report is a valuable tool in determining the safety of your property’s electrical installation and its suitability for continued use. 

Our electricians will visually inspect the wiring, fuse boards, consumer units and accessories for any defect, signs of heat damage or other deterioration. Testing is carried out using Megger electrical testing equipment and will check the integrity of the cabling within the property, identify any deterioration or defects and confirm the effectiveness of the earthing system and correct operation of circuit breakers and RCD’s.

The final report includes a schedule of items inspected, a comprehensive record of the electrical circuits within the installation and the measured test results listed against them.

The recommended interval between EICRs for a private property is 5 years, following an initial 10 year period from the original installation as a new build.
