EICR Inspection

What Is a Commercial EICR?

A Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection that assesses the safety and condition of your building’s electrical systems.

In the UK, the law mandates that all private rental properties have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This requirement began for new and renewing tenancies on July 1, 2020, and was applied to all ongoing tenancies as of April 1, 2021.

Commercial property owners are under the same legal obligation. Neglecting these regulations is a serious offence that can lead to penalties reaching £30,000.

During a commercial EICR inspection, our electricians check:

  • Fixed wiring systems
  • Distribution boards and consumer units
  • Electrical circuits and load capacity
  • Earthing and bonding systems
  • Protective devices such as RCDs
  • Switches, sockets and electrical accessories

The inspection identifies any safety concerns, deterioration or non-compliance with current BS 7671 wiring regulations. The final report provides a clear outcome indicating whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory, along with recommended remedial actions if required.

Why EICR Testing Matters for Property Owners

Many properties across the UK have ageing electrical installations that may not be safe or compliant. A professional Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essential for:

  • Protecting Occupants from Electrical Shocks and Fires: Electrical faults are one of the most common causes of domestic fires. Regular testing significantly reduces this risk and ensures the safety of everyone living in the property.
  • Proving Electrical System Compliance: While not always legally mandated for owner-occupiers, maintaining written proof of inspection demonstrates responsible property ownership and shows the installation is safe and compliant with current standards.
  • Avoiding Costly Emergency Faults and Repairs: EICR testing highlights wear, damage, or non-compliant elements early, allowing you to address developing issues before they escalate into dangerous, costly, or disruptive emergencies.
  • Ensuring Insurance Validity: Many property insurers require proof of a well-maintained electrical system. An expired or missing certificate may invalidate a claim following a fire or other electrical incident.
  • Maintaining or Increasing Property Value: A modern, compliant electrical system is a significant asset. It reassures future buyers and mortgage lenders, protecting the long-term value of your investment.

Regular EICR inspections are ultimately about safety, protecting the people in your home, and ensuring the long-term security of your property investment.

FAQ's

An EICR certificate is an official report issued after an electrical inspection confirming whether a property’s electrical installation is safe for continued use.

Most inspections take 2–6 hours, depending on the size of the building and the number of circuits.

If the inspection identifies dangerous faults, remedial work must be carried out to bring the installation up to standard before it can be certified as safe.

The EICR certificate cost for commercial property varies depending on the size and complexity of the electrical installation. Inspections typically start from £80 + VAT.

We aim to minimise disruption and can often schedule testing outside normal business hours if required.
