An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a safety check that assesses your home’s fixed electrical system. It identifies faults, damage, or risks that could lead to fire or electric shock.

Who can issue an EICR certificate?

Only a qualified electrician can carry out the inspection and issue the certificate. Look for membership of NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA, and make sure they're insured and experienced.

How much does an EICR cost in London?

Prices vary based on property size and location, but typical costs are: - £100–£230 for a 1-bed or studio flat - £150–£300+ for a house For a clearer idea of costs for your property, compare quotes from EICR electricians working near you, and check our [full guide to electrical safety costs](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/electrical-safety-check-cost/).

How often should an EICR be done?

- Homeowners: Every 10 years - Landlords: Every 5 years or change of tenant - If you’re buying, selling or have concerns, get one done sooner

What is an EICR certificate?

It’s a formal document confirming the results of your electrical safety inspection. It outlines any issues using a fault code system.

Can a landlord be fined for not having an EICR?

Yes. Fines can reach £30,000 if landlords fail to comply with electrical safety regulations.

What happens if my EICR fails?

You’ll need to carry out the recommended repairs, especially any urgent faults, and get the installation retested. For landlords, legal action can be taken if faults aren't fixed within 28 days.

Yes. If the electrician finds serious safety issues, your report may come back as ‘unsatisfactory’. You’ll need to fix any C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) issues before the system is deemed safe.

What happens if I don’t have an EPC?

You could face a fine of £200. Landlords can face penalties up to £4,000 if their properties fail to meet the minimum EPC rating.
