EICR Certificate London
Electrical Safety You Can Trust

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your property's fixed electrical wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches, lighting circuits, earthing, and bonding. In London, private landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR under the 2020 Private Rented Sector Regulations. Homeowners and businesses benefit significantly from regular inspections to detect electrical hazards before they become dangerous or costly. If you own or manage a property anywhere across Greater London — including Croydon, Bromley, Barnet, Ealing, and Hackney — a current EICR is essential.

Our EICR prices in London start from £150 for a small 1–2 bedroom flat or house. For 3–4 bedroom properties the cost typically falls within our £150–£300 guide range. Larger properties, HMOs, and commercial premises are priced on a case-by-case basis depending on the number of circuits. We provide fixed, transparent quotes upfront with no hidden call-out charges.

Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all private landlords in England — including London — must have a valid EICR for every rental property. The EICR must be obtained from a qualified electrician at least every 5 years, provided to tenants within 28 days, and any C1 or C2 remedial work completed within 28 days. Non-compliance can result in local authority fines of up to £30,000. Our team helps London landlords stay fully compliant year after year.

A standard EICR inspection for a typical 3-bedroom house in London takes between 3 and 4 hours. Smaller flats may take 2–3 hours, while larger properties, HMOs, or commercial premises will require more time. Our engineers work methodically to check every circuit and component, aiming to cause minimal disruption to tenants or business operations. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book your appointment.

A Satisfactory EICR result means your property is safe and compliant. If your property receives an Unsatisfactory result — meaning it contains C1 (immediate danger) or C2 (potentially dangerous) codes — you'll need to arrange remedial electrical work within 28 days. We can carry out all necessary remedial work following a failed EICR, and we'll only recommend work that genuinely needs doing. C3 codes are improvement recommendations and don't prevent a Satisfactory result.

For rental properties in London, an EICR is required at least every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. Owner-occupied homes should be inspected every 10 years, or when you buy, sell, or undertake major renovations. Commercial premises typically require an EICR every 5 years, though some premises types — such as swimming pools, caravan parks, or outdoor venues — may require more frequent electrical testing. Our team can advise on the correct inspection frequency for your specific London property type.
