An electrical inspection conditioning report is essentially an evaluation of all the electrical appliances and installations in your home or commercial premises. This is to make sure that they comply with current safety standards and regulations. An inspection and report can also identify any potential hazards or problems to watch out for in future regarding your electrics!
First, we carry out a visual inspection, followed by numerous practical testing techniques, and if our tests – like our tests for continuity or any issues or areas of concern that these tests show, will be compiled into our final report. We may include recommendations for improving the electrical safety at your property if necessary, too.
As every property is different, our electrical inspection conditioning reports also vary greatly. Electrical inspection conditioning reports are compulsory for properties be done after an amendment/addition to an electrical installation, or every 5 years.

For homeowners or commercial properties, you should obtain a new electrical installation condition report every five years. For landlords, a new condition report is required after each change of tenancy.
There is only one type of EICR that exists – the routine inspection and report carried out every five years or after each tenancy.
An EICR is merely referred to by different names, although these names aren’t always correct. For example, it has been wrongly called a visual condition report, periodic inspection report, electrical installation certificate or electrical safety certificate in the past. Yet, all these terms refer to the same EICR.
For rental properties, absolutely! The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Act of 2020 specifies this. It is not a legal requirement for homeowners looking to buy or sell a house for themselves, however – even if we’d advise it.
No, it’s not a direct requirement for a property insurance claim. But, having a valid EICR certificate to hand is useful to demonstrate that the electrical installations in your property are safe and operational, which could support your insurance claim in a situation where an electrical hazard is involved, as evidence of your property’s legal compliance.
