What an EICR covers
A qualified electrician inspects and tests the consumer unit, circuits, earthing and bonding, accessories and any visible wiring, then records the condition of the installation. The report is either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory means at least one C1, C2 or FI code has been recorded, and the regulations give landlords 28 days to carry out the remedial work.
- C1 — danger present, immediate action required
- C2 — potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required
- C3 — improvement recommended, does not fail the report
- FI — further investigation required
PAT testing
Portable appliance testing covers the items you supply rather than the fixed installation — white goods in a let flat, equipment in an office, kitchen appliances in a food unit. There is no fixed legal interval, but you have a duty to keep equipment safe, and a dated test record is the simplest way to show you have.
Landlord and agent packages
Most of our electrical work is booked alongside an EPC for the same property, so we schedule them into one access window where we can. For portfolios, we track EICR expiry dates next to EPC renewal dates so nothing quietly lapses between tenancies.
