Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homebuyers and homeowners across Sidcup, DA14 and DA15. Clear reports with all codes explained, issued on the day of inspection.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — sometimes called a periodic inspection or electrical safety check — is a formal assessment of the fixed electrical installation within a property. A qualified electrician inspects and tests the consumer unit (fuse board), all wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings and earthing arrangements throughout the property.
Tests check that circuits are properly insulated, that earthing and bonding are adequate, that protective devices (MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs) are functioning correctly and that no dangerous conditions are present. All findings are recorded using a standardised coding system. If no C1, C2 or FI codes are found, the report is issued as satisfactory.
We issue reports on the day of inspection, written in plain English with all observations coded and explained.
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require all private landlords in England to have a valid EICR conducted at least every five years. Failure to comply can result in a financial penalty of up to £30,000.
As a landlord in Sidcup or the surrounding DA14 and DA15 postcodes, you are legally required to:
Every observation found during an EICR inspection is assigned one of four codes. The overall report outcome depends on which codes are raised.
If your EICR returns a C1, C2 or FI observation, the report outcome is Unsatisfactory. This doesn't mean the property is immediately uninhabitable — but it does mean remedial works are required before a satisfactory certificate can be issued.
We provide a clear, itemised quote for all required remedial works with no obligation. Once approved, we carry out the work, retest the affected circuits and issue a satisfactory EICR certificate. For landlords, we aim to complete all works within the statutory 28-day window.
All remedial works are documented and included with your certification pack for tenant and letting agent records.
