EICR Reports in Cambridge, Newmarket & Ely
Electrical safety checks for homes, rentals and business premises.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of your property’s fixed wiring, designed to check its safety, condition and compliance with current regulations. It highlights any defects, deterioration or safety concerns that could lead to electric shock or fire risks.
Whether you’re a landlord, business owner, or homeowner, an up-to-date EICR is the best way to ensure your electrical systems are safe and legally compliant.
Do I Need an EICR?
Yes, in many cases, it’s a legal or insurance requirement.You should book an EICR if:
- You’re a landlord — it’s now a legal requirement in England to have an EICR carried out every 5 years, or with every new tenancy
- You’re buying or selling a property and need peace of mind on the condition of the electrics
- You run a business or public space, where safe electrics are a health and safety obligation
- It’s been more than 5–10 years since your last inspection
- You’re noticing faults like tripping circuits or flickering lights
What Happens During an EICR?
Our qualified electricians will:
Inspect: Inspect your consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and fixed appliances
Test: Test circuits to check for overloading, faults and potential hazards
Identify: Identify damage, wear, or outdated components
Report: Provide a written report with clear coding of any issues (C1, C2 or C3)
Support: Offer advice and, if needed, a quote for remedial works
The inspection is non-invasive and usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on the size of the property. Your report will clearly outline the condition of your installation and whether it’s safe for continued use.
What Do the EICR Codes Mean?
C1 – Immediate danger. Requires urgent repair
C2 – Potentially dangerous. Needs addressing quickly
