What is an EICR?
An EICR is a formal report that documents the state of your electrical installations. Its main purpose is to ensure your system is safe, compliant with BS 7671 wiring regulations, and free of defects that could pose a risk.
Common issues identified in EICRs include:
-
Outdated or damaged wiring
-
Overloaded circuits
-
Inadequate earthing or bonding
-
Potential electric shock or fire hazards
Each issue found is categorised using official codes:
C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potential danger), C3 (improvement recommended), and FI (further investigation required).
Who Needs an EICR in Blackfriars?
-
Landlords must obtain an EICR every 5 years or before a new tenancy.
-
Homeowners are advised to carry out one every 10 years, or when buying/selling.
