Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
Ensuring your property’s electrical system is safe and compliant is essential for peace of mind. At Skyborg Renewables, we provide professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for homes and businesses across North London and the surrounding areas.
Our certified electricians carry out thorough inspections, identifying any potential hazards, deterioration, or code violations before they become serious problems.
Why an EICR is Important
Electrical safety is critical for every property. Over time, wiring, sockets and other components can degrade, increasing the risk of shocks, fires or equipment failure. An EICR gives you a clear understanding of your system’s condition, highlights any remedial work needed, and ensures your property meets current safety standards.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or business owner, regular EICRs are essential for protecting people, property, and your investment.
Do I Need an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a key part of maintaining electrical safety. While not required for every home, there are specific situations in the UK where an EICR is mandatory or highly recommended:
Landlords
Must have electrical installations in rental properties inspected at least every five years.
Business owners
Need regular inspections to comply with health and safety regulations.
Newly rented properties
Benefit from an EICR to ensure electrical systems are safe for tenants.
Older installations
(Typically over 10 years) Should be checked to prevent faults or fire hazards.
Recent major electrical work
Requires inspection for safety and compliance.
Warning signs
such as frequent tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, or buzzing sockets indicate an inspection is needed.
What Happens During an EICR
When we carry out an EICR, our electricians inspect your full electrical installation, including wiring, sockets, switches, fuse boards and safety devices. Each circuit is tested to ensure it operates correctly and safely, and any defects are documented with clear recommendations.
You’ll receive a detailed report outlining the condition of your installation, highlighting any issues, and advising on necessary corrective actions. Our process is transparent, professional, and designed to keep your electrical systems in top condition.
How Often Should I Get an EICR?
The frequency of inspections depends on the property type and usage. Rental properties require an EICR every five years, while commercial properties generally need one every three to five years. Homeowners are advised to have an EICR every 10 years, or sooner if their system is older, has been upgraded, or shows signs of wear. Regular inspections help detect hazards early, prevent costly repairs, and ensure your electrical system remains safe and reliable.
