We are a leading electrical testing company based in the UK.
Our team provides EICR testing for all forms of electrical appliances and electrical installations to ensure they meet the electrical safety standards across the nation.
With all our testing, we produce an electrical installation condition report (EICR), which highlights whether appliances are potentially dangerous, requiring further investigation, or are safe based on these regulations. Following a successful test, you will be provided with an EICR certificate, which is valid until the next inspection date.
EICR testing can be done on existing installations as well as with all new electrical installations on your site. All of our live electrical testing is performed by a qualified electrical engineer who has a great understanding of electrical systems and the regulations they need to meet.
We work in all regions across the UK, offering testing to the private rented sector. In this sector, the IET wiring regulations need to be met for every electrical system present within properties, and regular testing is required.
Our company can perform a complete EICR test of your site, ensuring that everything from light fittings to electrical appliances meet the electrical safety standards for your local housing authority.

Our team of qualified engineers has been providing testing of electrical equipment for over a decade, maintaining high safety standards in the private rented sector across the country.
We work to test the electrical appliances and installations across rental properties, performing remedial work when required to ensure that all residential premises are safe as per the regulations of your local authority. Our qualified electricians can perform the complete EICR testing, including a precautionary test as well as any remedial action that may be required to prevent issues.
This testing is done on anything connected to the mains power supply, following which you will be given a written confirmation of success.
If a landlord fails the EICR tests across their properties, we also offer continued service and remedial action to help improve the standards in your rental property.
We have over 10 years of experience as an electrical inspector in the UK. With so many years of experience, we have a great understanding of the electrical installation condition report regulations as well as what is required by the local authorities we serve.
This means we can test any electrical system, ensuring it meets the wiring regulations within the local housing authority, as well as maintaining other safety standards.
We will provide a completed report for all testing done, which can be presented by your local housing authority and tenants to show that these requirements are met.
Our company will test any electrical installation, whether that is existing or new, to highlight issues that could be potentially dangerous, as well as offer further investigation if required. As all work is done by certified electricians, repairs and additional work can also be done by our team to ensure the highest safety standards on your property.
Following this testing, we can provide an electrical safety report, which can be used to get adequate insurance for your tenants, as well as provide proof to your local authority regarding wiring regulations. All of this is a requirement for a landlord and needs to be done periodically to avoid fines and other legal issues.
We have been working with the electrical regulations for many years and cover all requirements, offering regular testing to landlords across the country.

As a landlord, you have to meet these regulations for your only or main residence, including for an existing tenant as well as new properties. These regulations require landlords to have electrical installation condition testing done on their properties at least every 5 years.
The person conducting these tests needs to be a qualified person with a qualification covering electrical testing. All of our team are qualified in this way and can help with the testing of an electrical installation.
All electrical wiring is assessed through a visual inspection initially during the EICR test, with further investigative work performed following this remedial work if required.
The way that your electrical systems are inspected and tested during EICR tests will vary based on the kind of systems, the location, and any remedial work that may have already been performed.
With the new regulations for landlords, not only is an EICR investigation required every 5 years, but testing is also required for properties let on statutory periodic tenancies. In these properties, when the fixed term has expired, the tenancy rolls over to a periodic tenancy automatically by statute, not contract.
These new regulations mean that properties under periodic tenancies also require testing even if the tenants have not moved on, so your next inspection could be required sooner than you think.
Likewise, all existing specified tenancies require an electrical safety check since the regulations changed in 2021. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that all electrical equipment in your properties is safe and meets national standards.
Working with us can ensure you work with a qualified electrician for this testing and that you meet the requirements of the private rented sector.
Please contact the team to book your test today.
The average cost of an electrical installation condition report in the UK starts at £79.
Various factors contribute to the total cost of electrical testing, such as your location, the kind of electrical system being investigated as well and whether further investigation work is required.
All of the testing we provide is done by a qualified electrical engineer and will result in an EICR certificate if the test is successful.
Testing an electrical installation to ensure it is within the electrical safety standards of your local authority is done by a qualified electrician. There are many ways that electrical wiring and portable appliance testing are performed, all of which are done for the same purpose.
An EICR test aims to:
An EICR test is done for both wired and fixed electrical installations, as well as an investigation of circuits within the property. All of this should be done by a qualified electrician, who can also perform the remedial work that may be required during testing.
Our company can provide EICR testing and has been offering this service for over a decade, ensuring we can work in all properties.
As our team of electricians is fully certified, they can also carry out any remedial work that may be required following the testing and help maintain the highest safety standards in your properties.
Following the testing, there are specific marks that will be given in the report to determine the next steps.
This grade will be granted by the electrician following the initial investigation of your electrical installation condition report and will highlight whether further work is required.
All of their findings will be highlighted in the report, which can be presented to your local authority.
Following the testing, you will be marked as one of three grades.
These are:
This highlights that there is a danger present, and immediate remedial action is required
This indicates that an electrical installation is potentially dangerous and, therefore, remedial work needs to be done to rectify this, as per the electrical safety standards
This is an observed finding that indicates that while danger is not necessarily present, additional work may be required to improve safety standards.
If your EICR test indicates that remedial work is required due to poor safety standards, the private landlord will be met with a remedial notice. This is written confirmation that the landlord has agreed to get the required work completed within 28 days, or the period indicated in the report.
Failure to meet this remedial notice and the remedial work is not done by the agreed date, and the local authority can take over to get the work done. The landlord will later be charged for this.
If the landlord fails to test their appliances or meet the requirements of the local housing authority, they can be fined up to £30,000. Considering the low EICR cost that our team offers, it is time to book your next inspection to avoid issues.

While it is a national requirement for private sector landlords to get periodic electrical installation condition testing, paying for this service can also offer a range of benefits that you may want to consider.
The main benefit that comes from this service is the protection of lives by actively preventing electrical hazards. Electrical wiring, appliances, and other installations can cause a lot of issues when they are damaged, not installed correctly, or faulty in some way.
This is why electrical testing is so important and is part of the national regulations for the private rented sector because it is essential for safety. Regular testing for damage or issues can actively prevent electrical hazards and fires, which can lead to death in the most extreme cases.
As a landlord, regular safety testing offers peace of mind by ensuring your tenants are safe, as well as the avoidance of legal issues later down the line, should something go wrong.
It is also a national requirement, and failure to get your electrical equipment tested can result in a fine of up to £30,000. Getting regular testing is not only a good idea for the benefits it can provide, ensuring the safety of your tenants and properties, but it also avoids legal issues and excessive fines.
To ensure you remain within the regulations of your local authority and are actively protecting your tenants, regular electrical testing is required.
