Professional Electrical Safety Certificates

An EICR (formerly known as a ‘Landlord Safety Check’) is an in-depth inspection of your property’s fixed wiring. It is essential for:

• Landlords (Legal Requirement) – Private landlords must have a valid EICR every 5 years to comply with UK law.
• Homebuyers & Sellers – Ensure there are no hidden electrical faults before you commit to a property purchase.
• Business Owners – Meet your Health & Safety obligations and ensure your workplace is safe for staff and customers.
• Insurance Compliance – Many insurers now require a valid EICR to maintain your property coverage.

• Dead Testing – Continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity checks.
• Live Testing – Ensuring your RCDs (safety switches) trip at the correct speed to prevent shocks.
• Consumer Unit Audit – Verifying your fuse board meets modern safety standards.
• Detailed Report – You receive a full PDF report graded as ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’ with clear recommendations.
