Who needs one
Bristol has a big private rental market, flats and HMOs, and a lot of Victorian and Edwardian housing with wiring that has been altered over decades. The groups who usually book an EICR are:
- Landlords and agents — a valid EICR is required at least every five years for private rented homes.
- Buyers and sellers — particularly with older terraces and converted flats.
- Businesses — for insurance, leases and compliance.
- Anyone with symptoms — tripping breakers, warm sockets, or an old fuse board.
The inspection
We isolate the installation circuit by circuit and carry out dead and live tests: continuity, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation. We inspect the consumer unit, wiring, accessories and earthing and bonding, then record the results in a formal report.
Your report
The report states the overall condition as satisfactory or unsatisfactory and lists any observations by code:
- C1 — danger present. Fixed immediately or made safe.
- C2 — potentially dangerous. Needs remedial work.
- C3 — improvement recommended. Not a failure.
- FI — further investigation required.
Remedial work is quoted separately and only carried out if you ask us to.

Before you call.
How often does a rented property need an EICR?
In England, private rented properties need an EICR at least every five years, or at change of tenancy if sooner. A copy must be given to tenants and to the local authority on request.
How often should a homeowner have one?
The general guide is every ten years, and when buying or selling a property or after major work.
Do you cover Bristol?
