1. Be aware that your electrician will need to turn the power off before working on the wiring.
2. Ensure all lights, sockets and light switches are easily accessible.
3. Don’t be alarmed if our electricians identify some ‘failures’ in your wiring system. Although your wiring may work, it may not meet safety standards.

The time it takes to perform an electrical installation condition report can vary depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the electronic installations. At Pimlico Plumbers, we pride ourselves on providing a thorough service, so you should expect our electricians to be at your property for at least a couple of hours.

It is recommended that private properties get an EICR every 10 years, and it is now mandatory that landlords have an installation inspected and tested at least every five years or when you have a change of tenancy – and more often if the most recent safety report requires it. However, the Landlord’s Electrical Safety Certificate is also accepted as a valid EICR.

It is now a legal requirement for landlords (domestic and commercial) to get an installation inspected and tested at least every five years or when occupancy changes.

Only an NICEIC-accredited electrician at an approved contractor level or an electrician approved by another electrical regulatory body at a similar or higher level can perform an electrical installation condition report. You can check this on the Electrical Safety Register.
