What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal document produced by a qualified electrician following a thorough inspection of a property's electrical installation. It identifies any damage, deterioration, defects, or dangerous conditions present in the electrics, and classifies them by severity. It's the electrical equivalent of an MOT — a clear, honest assessment of whether your installation is safe and up to current standards.

At Hodgson Electrical, every EICR is carried out by a NAPIT-registered electrician with over 17 years of experience, so you can trust the report is thorough, accurate, and fully compliant.

For Landlords — Stay Legal, Stay Safe

If you rent out a property, an EICR isn't optional — it's a legal requirement. Landlords in England are required to have their rental properties tested by a qualified electrician at least every five years, and to provide a copy of the report to tenants and the local authority on request. Failure to comply can result in significant fines.

We make the process as straightforward as possible for landlords and letting agents. We offer fast turnaround on reports and can arrange key collection directly from your agent, so there's no need to rearrange your schedule or chase access.

For Homebuyers — Know Before You Buy

Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and the last thing you want is to discover expensive electrical faults after you've exchanged contracts. A pre-purchase EICR gives you a clear picture of the condition of the property's wiring and electrics before you commit, potentially saving you thousands in remedial work — or giving you the leverage to renegotiate the price.

Don't inherit someone else's problems. Get the electrics checked first.

What We Test

During an EICR, we carry out a detailed inspection and test of the entire electrical installation. This covers fuse board safety, the condition of the wiring throughout the property, earthing and bonding arrangements, and the condition of sockets, switches, and other accessories. Any issues found are categorised and clearly explained in the report, so you know exactly what needs attention and how urgently.

For Business Owners

Commercial properties carry the same responsibility to maintain safe electrical installations. Whether you own or manage an office, retail unit, or other commercial premises, we can carry out a thorough EICR to make sure your electrics are safe for staff and customers alike and that you're meeting your obligations as a duty holder.
