An EICR Report (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a comprehensive examination of the condition of your electrical installation. Valid for 5 years for rental properties, our expert electricians can provide same-day electrical installation condition reports for landlords looking to renew their electrical certificate on short notice.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the electrical installation within a property. The report reviews the condition of your electrical wiring, fuses, switches, and sockets, identifying any damage, deterioration, or hazards, and providing recommendations for safety improvements.

If you are a homeowner, it is recommended to conduct an electrical safety check every 10 years. However, as a landlord, you must renew your EICR every 5 years or when your tenancy changes. Failure to comply could result in a £30,000 fine. So, don’t wait – call our expert electricians today.

What’s Involved in an EICR?

Our electricians will begin with a visual assessment and then carry out a series of checks on your electrical systems. The aim of the report is to identify any hazards. The inspection results are graded by the following codes:

• C1: Dangerous, presenting a high risk of injury.
• C2: Potentially dangerous.
• C3: Improvement recommended.

If we identify any code one (C1) issues, we will address them immediately to ensure tenant safety. Any code two (C2) or code three (C3) issues will be noted in the report, and we’ll provide a separate quote for remedial work.

Remedial work for C2 issues is mandatory, while addressing C3 recommendations can help prevent costly damage or deterioration in the future. Landlords are required to complete remedial work within 28 days of the initial inspection and must provide written confirmation to their tenants and the local authority.

After the inspection, you will receive a complete seven-page report and a quote for any necessary remedial work. While the paperwork may take a couple of days to process, we strive to complete all EICR reports as quickly as possible.

What is Checked During an EICR?

At Limitless Utility Services, we conduct thorough electrical safety checks during your EICR test to ensure the safety of your property and residents. These checks include:

• Inspecting your fuse board to ensure it's safe and compliant with the latest regulations, including all necessary circuit breakers and RCD protection.


• Ensuring all electrics are correctly earthed to prevent fatal electric shocks.


• Checking your gas-meter pipework, water pipework, radiators, and all metalwork in the building.


• Inspecting sockets, lights, switches, and accessories to ensure all wiring is correctly installed.
