Whether you’re a landlord or homeowner, a professional Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) ensures your Bexley property meets current safety standards.
What an EICR Covers
We inspect and test your fixed wiring, consumer unit, protective devices, earthing, bonding and accessories. You’ll receive a written report with observations, test results and an overall verdict.
When to Book an EICR
- Landlords: At least every 5 years (or sooner if the report states).
- Owner-occupiers: Typically every 10 years or after major works.
- HMOs/Commercial: Often every 5 years; high-use environments may require shorter intervals.
Understanding EICR Codes
- C1: Immediate danger – make safe on the day where possible.
- C2: Potential danger – remedial work needed.
- FI: Further investigation required to determine safety.
- C3: Improvement recommended – advisory.
Any C1, C2 or FI will result in an Unsatisfactory outcome until rectified.
Common Bexley Issues We See
- Consumer units without RCD/RCBO protection
- Ageing accessories and damaged flex outlets
- Inadequate main bonding to gas/water
- DIY alterations or additions without certification
Costs & Timescales
