Electrical Installation Condition Reports from £120. Qualified local electricians covering all Bristol postcodes.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of the fixed electrical wiring and installations in a property. It identifies any deterioration, defects, damage or conditions that could present a danger to occupants.
The inspection is carried out by a qualified electrician who tests the circuits, consumer unit, sockets, light fittings, switches and other fixed electrical components. The report categorises any findings by severity, from advisory observations to issues requiring immediate attention.
Our qualified electricians carry out EICR inspections across all Bristol postcodes, from rental flats in Redland (BS6) to houses in Fishponds (BS16) and properties throughout Central, South, North and East Bristol.
Since July 2020, all private rented properties in England must have a valid EICR. Landlords must ensure inspections are carried out before new tenancies and at least every 5 years. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000.
Managing properties on behalf of landlords? We work with letting agents across Bristol to ensure all managed properties meet EICR requirements with minimal disruption to tenants.
For HMOs and multi-unit properties in Bristol, EICRs may be required more frequently. We can arrange inspections for your entire portfolio with competitive pricing.
While not legally required for owner-occupied homes, an EICR is recommended every 10 years to ensure your home's electrics are safe. It can also be useful before major renovations or when buying a property.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must:

A typical EICR inspection takes 2–4 hours for a standard home, depending on the number of circuits and the size of the property. You will receive your report shortly after the inspection is completed.
An EICR is typically valid for 5 years for rental properties. The inspector may recommend a shorter interval if issues are found. For owner-occupied homes, the recommended interval is 10 years.
If the EICR identifies any C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, the landlord must arrange for remedial work to be carried out within 28 days or a period specified by the inspector. A re-inspection is then needed to confirm the work has been completed satisfactorily.
