What is an EICR & Why Might You Need One?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your property’s fixed wiring, consumer unit, and accessories. Just like an MOT for a vehicle, it identifies hidden wear, damaged cabling, lack of earthing, or outdated switchgear before they turn into dangerous faults.

Home Buyers: Know the true state of the electrics before closing a deal or budgeting for renovations. Visit Electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk to find out more.

Home Sellers: Show prospective buyers that the electrical installation is safe, avoiding last-minute price renegotiations.

Property Owners: Ideal for older properties (10+ years since the last check) or after recent structural changes.

Small Commercial Premises: Ensure workplace compliance under the Electricity at Work Regulations.

Your full electrical installation is inspected, from your DNO supply, Consumer unit, Fixed wiring to your switch gear and sockets. Limitations can be agreed before an inspection is carried.

We carry out a mix of dead testing (with power safely turned off) and live testing across all accessible circuits using calibrated multi-function testers. Any issues found are categorised using standard industry codes (C1 for immediate danger, C2 for urgent improvement needed, C3 for recommendations). You receive a digital EICR document outlining the overall condition of the installation, complete with photographs and clear descriptions of any findings. If remedial work is required to bring the system up to standard, we provide an itemised, no-obligation quote to carry out the necessary rectifications.

For a standard 2 to 3-bedroom domestic property in Stirling, an inspection typically takes between 2 to 4 hours depending on the size of the board and accessibility.

Yes. We will need to turn off the main supply for periods during dead testing. We coordinate this with you beforehand so working from home or daily routines aren’t disrupted.
