An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) tells you exactly what state your property’s electrical system is in. It identifies defects, potential hazards, and areas that don’t meet current standards—giving you the information you need to keep your property safe and compliant.
For landlords, EICR testing is a legal requirement. Since 2020, all rental properties in England must have a valid EICR before new tenancies begin and renewed at least every five years. Failing to comply can result in fines up to £30,000 and may invalidate your insurance coverage.
For homeowners, EICRs provide valuable peace of mind. If you’re buying a property, living in an older home, or simply haven’t had your electrics checked in years, an EICR reveals issues before they become dangerous or costly problems.
Our NICEIC registered electricians complete EICR testing across Peterborough for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and businesses. Contact us to book your inspection.
Meet your legal obligations with professional EICR testing for rental properties. Since April 2021, all private rental properties in England require a valid EICR, renewed at least every five years. You must provide tenants with a copy within 28 days of the inspection. We provide landlord electrical safety certificates across Peterborough, inspecting properties thoroughly and providing compliant documentation that satisfies legal requirements. Our reports clearly identify any defects requiring attention, categorising issues by urgency so you know exactly what needs addressing and when. We work efficiently to minimise tenant disruption, completing most inspections within a few hours. Fast turnaround ensures you meet tenancy deadlines without delays.
Know the true condition of your home’s electrical installation with a professional safety inspection. EICRs aren’t legally required for owner-occupied properties, but they’re highly recommended—especially for older homes, recent purchases, or properties that haven’t been inspected in over ten years. Our inspections identify deteriorating wiring, overloaded circuits, missing earthing, inadequate consumer unit protection, and other hazards that could cause electric shock or fire. Properties across Bretton, Werrington, and Orton often reveal issues their owners never suspected during routine inspections. An EICR gives you clear information to make informed decisions about electrical safety and any improvements needed.
Buying a property in Peterborough? An EICR before completion reveals electrical issues that standard surveys miss. Surveyors aren’t electricians—they can’t test circuits, identify hidden faults, or assess whether installations meet safety standards. An EICR uncovers problems that could cost thousands to rectify, giving you negotiating power or the information to walk away from problematic purchases. We provide pre-purchase inspections across Peterborough with fast turnaround to meet exchange deadlines. Properties across Longthorpe, Woodston, and Stanground benefit from thorough pre-purchase testing. Don’t inherit someone else’s electrical problems—know exactly what you’re buying before you commit to completion.
Protect your Peterborough business with professional electrical safety inspections. Commercial properties have legal duties to maintain safe electrical systems, and EICRs provide documented evidence of compliance for health and safety requirements. We inspect offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, and retail units across Peterborough, working outside business hours where needed to minimise operational disruption. Our reports identify defects, assess installation condition, and provide clear recommendations for any remedial work required. Insurance companies increasingly require EICR evidence, and inspections protect you from liability if electrical incidents occur. Businesses across the city centre and surrounding industrial areas trust us for comprehensive commercial testing.
Choosing the right electrician for EICR testing matters. Thorough inspection requires experience, proper equipment, and genuine expertise—not just rushing through to issue a certificate. We take EICR testing seriously, inspecting comprehensively and reporting honestly on what we find.
We’re NICEIC registered, meaning our testing meets the highest industry standards. Our electricians hold current qualifications in inspection and testing, using calibrated equipment that provides accurate, reliable results. You receive detailed reports that clearly explain findings, categorise defects by urgency, and provide practical recommendations for remedial action.
We believe in honest reporting. If your installation is safe, we’ll confirm that clearly. If problems exist, we’ll explain them in plain English and provide fair quotations for any remedial work needed. We never invent defects to generate additional work—our reputation depends on trustworthy, professional service.
We complete EICR testing throughout Peterborough and surrounding areas including Werrington, Bretton, Orton, Longthorpe, Woodston, Stanground, Fletton, Eye, Thorney, Whittlesey, Yaxley, Sawtry, Stilton, and surrounding Cambridgeshire villages. Contact us to book your inspection.
Sometimes EICRs reveal symptoms requiring further investigation. Our Peterborough electricians use professional testing equipment to trace electrical faults accurately, identifying problems that inspection alone cannot pinpoint. We diagnose issues including earth faults, short circuits, insulation breakdown, and intermittent faults that cause nuisance tripping. Once identified, we complete lasting repairs and retest to ensure your installation operates safely. Properties throughout Peterborough rely on our diagnostic expertise to resolve complex electrical issues.
When EICRs identify defects requiring attention, we complete all necessary remedial work promptly and professionally. From replacing damaged cables and upgrading earthing arrangements to installing additional protection and addressing code C1 and C2 observations, we resolve issues identified during inspection. We provide clear quotations for remedial work, explaining what’s needed and why. Once complete, we retest affected areas and update your EICR documentation to reflect the satisfactory condition of your installation.
EICRs frequently identify outdated consumer units lacking adequate protection. We upgrade fuse boards to modern consumer units with RCD and RCBO protection, significantly improving your home’s electrical safety. Older boards with rewirable fuses don’t provide the protection modern units offer, leaving your family at risk. We install high-quality consumer units from leading manufacturers, properly labelling all circuits for easy identification. Properties across Bretton, Werrington, and Orton benefit from this essential safety upgrade following EICR recommendations.
