EICR for landlords and homeowners
For a change of tenancy, a new property purchase, or if you simply haven’t had your electrics checked in a long time, an EICR is the most reliable way to understand the true condition of your installation.
-
An EICR is a detailed safety assessment of your electrical installation. Think of it like an MOT for your electrical system. It identifies fire risks, electric shock hazards, overloading issues, deterioration of wiring, and any non-compliance with modern regulations. This report is a legal requirement for rental properties and an essential safety check for any home or commercial premises.
Your inspection includes a full check of all circuits, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding arrangements, RCD protection, and system performance under test. You receive a detailed written report with clear C1, C2, and FI coding, alongside professional advice on any remedial work required. Certification is typically issued the same day. -
Our EICR’s are charged at £100 per consumer unit and £25 per circuit. Additional consumer units are £40 each. That’s it! To work out the number of circuits just simply count each mcb (miniature circuit breaker) or fuse in you consumer unit (fuseboard). Or better still, send us a clear picture of your consumer unit(s) and we’ll give you a quote.
You will always be able to find someone offering an EICR for less, but low prices often come at the expense of quality. The industry has been caught in a race to the bottom for years, and many of the cheapest reports offer very little real insight into the condition of your electrics. Eminent Electrical chooses not to work that way. Some companies use a bargain-priced EICR simply to get through the door, then condemn the installation and push expensive remedial work that isn’t always necessary. Our approach is straightforward and honest. You get a thorough assessment and clear guidance, not scare tactics or upselling. -
We are NAPIT approved, 18th Edition qualified, and fully insured with £2M+ public liability cover. We operate with transparent pricing, no scare tactics, and a strong local reputation built on real customer reviews.
