An EICR is a formal report on the condition of an existing electrical installation. Although it is commonly called an EICR certificate, the document records what was inspected and tested, any limitations, the observations found and whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use at the time of the assessment.
The inspection looks beyond whether the lights and sockets appear to work. Electrical problems can remain hidden inside a consumer unit, behind accessories or within circuits that have been altered over several years. Testing can identify deterioration, ineffective protection, unsafe previous work and faults that could increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
Electric11 provides EICRs as part of its wider electrical services in Reepham. If a report identifies a problem, the same local team can explain the observation and quote for proportionate remedial work.

The inspection and testing may include:
The condition of the consumer unit or fuse board
Circuit identification and protective devices
RCD operation and other safety protection
Fixed wiring, sockets, switches and lighting circuits
Earthing and protective bonding arrangements
Permanently connected equipment within the agreed scope
Signs of damage, wear, overheating or deterioration
Overloaded circuits or unsuitable alterations
Electrical work that may require further investigation
An EICR covers the fixed electrical installation. Portable and plug-in appliances require a separate PAT testing service when appliance checks are needed.

An EICR may be suitable if one or more of the following applies:
You are a landlord and the current report is due to expire
A new tenant will move into a rental property and no valid report is available
You manage private or social rented housing
You are buying an older home and want to understand the electrical condition
You are preparing a property for sale and want supporting safety information
The installation history is unknown or previous electrical work is poorly documented
Circuits trip repeatedly, lights flicker or sockets become warm
The property has an older fuse box or limited RCD protection
You are planning a renovation, extension or change of use
Your insurer, lender, lease or risk assessment calls for an electrical report
You are responsible for an office, shop, workshop or other commercial premises
Warning signs such as a burning smell, visible scorching, exposed conductors or electric shocks need prompt attention rather than waiting for a routine inspection. Electric11 also provides electrical fault finding for problems that require focused diagnosis.
Check Whether an EICR Is Suitable
Reepham is in England, so rental properties within scope are covered by the Electrical Safety Standards regulations. Current government electrical safety guidance for rented homes states that landlords must have electrical installations inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner when the report sets an earlier date.
The 2025 amendment extended the regulations to the social rented sector. Transitional dates can apply to older social tenancies, so housing providers should check the current government guidance against the tenancy start date.
For tenancies covered by the regulations, landlords must:
Obtain a report that records the results and the date of the next inspection
Give the existing tenant a copy within 28 days of the inspection
Give a new tenant a copy before occupation
Supply a prospective tenant with a copy within 28 days of a request
Supply the local authority with a copy within seven days of a request
Keep the report for the next inspector and for their property records
Complete required remedial or further investigative work within 28 days, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period
Provide the required written confirmation after remedial work is completed
Local authorities may impose a financial penalty of up to £40,000 for specified breaches committed from 1 May 2026. The rules contain exemptions and procedural detail, so landlords should use the current government guidance for their specific tenancy rather than relying on a general summary.
Homeowners do not ordinarily need an EICR simply because they occupy their own property. However, an inspection can be useful when buying, renovating, investigating warning signs or reviewing an installation with no reliable testing history. Commercial inspection intervals depend on the premises, its use, the level of risk, previous findings and any insurer or lease requirements.

The report will state whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory and list any coded observations. An older installation does not automatically fail because it was designed to an earlier edition of the Wiring Regulations. The inspector considers its present condition, the protection provided and the level of risk.
| Code | Meaning | What Usually Happens Next |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Danger present | Immediate action is needed to remove or make the danger safe. |
| C2 | Potentially dangerous | Urgent remedial work is required. |
| FI | Further investigation required without delay | Additional investigation is needed to establish whether a defect or danger exists. |
| C3 | Improvement recommended | An upgrade is recommended, but a C3 observation alone does not make the report unsatisfactory. |
An EICR containing C1, C2 or FI observations is recorded as unsatisfactory. This does not automatically mean the property needs a full rewire. Some reports lead to focused repairs, while widespread deterioration may make a larger upgrade more practical. Electric11 can advise whether the findings call for a small repair, a replacement consumer unit or a partial or full home rewire in Reepham.

Electric11 completed EICR remedial works at an Attleborough property after an inspection recorded C1 and C2 observations. Rather than assuming the property needed a complete rewire, the team used the original report to define the scope, prioritised the safety-critical items and completed targeted repairs to the affected circuits and accessories.
The work included reviewing each coded observation, accessing the relevant parts of the installation and using appropriate connectors, fixings, sealant and short cable lengths where required. The repairs reduced the risks associated with the recorded defects and prepared the installation for follow-up verification and reporting.
This Norfolk project shows the practical value of an EICR: it identifies the condition of the installation and creates an evidence-based plan. Depending on the findings, the proportionate solution may be a small repair, further investigation, a consumer-unit upgrade or more extensive rewiring.

EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a formal assessment of the condition and safety of a property’s existing fixed electrical installation.
Rental properties in Reepham are subject to the rules that apply in England. Landlords with tenancies within scope must arrange inspection and testing at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report specifies an earlier date. The regulations include exemptions and transitional details, particularly for some social tenancies, so check the current government guidance for the property concerned.
Electric11’s guide price starts at £125 plus VAT for a one-bedroom flat, with additional rooms from £25 plus VAT per room. Larger homes, HMOs, commercial premises and installations with several consumer units require a tailored quote.
The duration depends on the property size, number of circuits, accessibility and complexity. A small flat is normally quicker than a large house, HMO or commercial building. Electric11 can give a more useful time estimate after reviewing the property details.
Yes, circuits normally need to be isolated for parts of the testing. Power interruptions are usually temporary, but occupants should plan around computers, alarms, medical equipment and other sensitive systems before the appointment.
The report will show the observations that caused the unsatisfactory result. C1, C2 and FI observations need action. Electric11 can explain the findings, quote for the required remedial work and complete the appropriate testing and documentation afterwards.
No. Age alone does not determine the result. The electrician assesses the equipment’s condition, the protection available and any safety risks. An older board may receive observations or need replacement, but the decision is based on the inspection and test results.
No. An EICR checks the fixed electrical installation. Plug-in appliances are covered by PAT testing, which can be booked separately where needed.
Yes. The electrician will need access to the consumer unit and agreed electrical points throughout the property, and there will be temporary power interruptions. Landlords or agents should arrange access with the tenant in advance.
Not necessarily. Current government guidance says a further inspection is not required before re-letting when the existing inspection was completed less than five years ago, remains valid and does not require remedial or further investigative work. The new tenant must receive a copy before occupying the property.
An EICR is not ordinarily a general legal requirement for an owner-occupier selling a home. However, a recent report can clarify the installation’s condition for the seller and buyer, particularly when the property is older or its electrical history is uncertain.
Yes. Electric11 provides fault finding, small electrical repairs, consumer-unit replacement and full or partial rewiring. The recommended scope depends on the observations recorded in the report.
