Atlantic Wharf, where we carried out a site wide EICR across more than 35 distribution boards
What we test
Periodic inspection and testing to BS 7671, with a clear report on the condition of the installation.
01
Distribution boards and circuits
Every board and circuit inspected and tested, with results recorded for each one.
02
Communal areas
Landlord supplies, corridors, stairwells and plant rooms in residential blocks and estates.
03
Flats and houses
Individual flats and houses, including the inspection and testing landlords of rented homes in England must have at least every five years.
04
Commercial buildings and schools
Offices, schools and other commercial buildings, planned around the people using them.
05
Whole estates
Large sites with many distribution boards, tested as one programme, like our site wide EICR covering more than 35 distribution boards.
06
Remedial work
The repairs the report calls for, carried out by the same team, so you do not need a second contractor to put the building right.
Why an EICR matters
An EICR tells you whether an electrical installation is safe to keep using. It records damage, wear, faults and anything that does not meet current standards, so problems are found before they cause a failure or a fire.
Guidance under BS 7671 recommends regular periodic inspection, typically every five years for commercial premises, schools and rented homes, and more often for some types of building. Landlords of private rented homes in England are legally required to have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years.
Each observation in the report is given a code: C1 where danger is present, C2 where it is potentially dangerous, C3 where improvement is recommended, and FI where further investigation is needed. Any C1, C2 or FI means the installation is unsatisfactory until it is put right.

See our projects →Common questions
How often does a building need an EICR?
It depends on how the building is used. Guidance typically recommends every five years for commercial premises, schools and rented homes, and the report itself states when the next inspection is due.
Do you test individual flats and homes?
Yes. We test individual flats and houses as well as communal areas, commercial buildings, schools and whole estates. Landlords of rented homes in England must have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years, and we issue the report for it.
Can you test a whole estate?
Yes. We have completed a site wide EICR at Atlantic Wharf covering more than 35 distribution boards.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
The report sets out each issue and how urgent it is. C1 and C2 items, and anything needing further investigation, must be dealt with before the installation can be classed as satisfactory.
Do you carry out the remedial work?
Yes. We price the remedial work the report identifies and carry it out, then issue the certificate for the work we have done. You can also take the report elsewhere if you prefer.
Which areas do you cover?
London and the South East, and across Hertfordshire, including Hertford, Welwyn Garden City, Ware, Hoddesdon and Stevenage.
