An EICR certificates for homeowners is an essential document that confirms the safety and compliance of your home’s electrical system. Whether you’re a homeowner in London or planning to sell or rent your property, an EICR test is required to ensure your electrics are safe and meet legal standards.

📌 Book an EICR Test Today and secure your home’s electrical compliance.
Your home’s electrical system may appear to be working fine, but unseen issues can pose serious risks. Over time, wiring degrades, circuits overload, and safety regulations evolve—meaning what was once safe may no longer meet legal standards.
A residential EICR test identifies hidden faults before they cause electrical failures, fires, or shocks. It’s a vital step in protecting your family, your home, and your finances.

An EICR is not just a quick check. It’s a full assessment of your property’s electrical system to make sure everything is safe and compliant.
During the inspection, we check:
✔ Wiring and electrical circuits
We look for signs of wear, damage, or outdated installations.
✔ Consumer unit (fuse board)
Ensuring it meets modern safety standards and is functioning correctly.
✔ Sockets, switches, and fittings
Making sure everything is safe to use and properly installed.
✔ Earthing and bonding
This is critical for safety, helping prevent electric shock and reducing risk.
Most people only think about an EICR when something goes wrong, but staying ahead of issues is what actually keeps your property safe and compliant.
Here are the most common times we recommend booking an inspection:
✔ Every 5–10 years
Regular testing helps make sure your electrical installation is still safe and meets current standards.
✔ Before buying or selling a property
An EICR gives you a clear picture of the condition of the electrics, which can avoid surprises during the transaction.
✔ After refurbishment or electrical work
If you’ve had rewiring, extensions, or major upgrades done, it’s worth confirming everything has been installed safely.
✔ If you notice warning signs
Flickering lights, tripping circuits, or burning smells are not something to ignore. An inspection can identify the issue early.
If you’re renting out a property, take a look at our landlord EICR services to make sure you stay legally compliant.
We’ve designed our process to be straightforward, so you can get everything sorted without delays or confusion.
