Safe Continued Use

Electrical Inspection Condition Reports Repairs & Installations

Rental homes (EICR)

The EICR is a comprehensive check of the fixed wiring of your electrical installation. It’s a snapshot of your electrics to establish whether they’re safe for continued use and to identify any potential safety issues. It’s about checking the underlying electrical system – the wiring, the fuse board, earth bonding and all the other bits you can’t see that could be a risk – rather than whether your lights come on or not.

Safety

Around four people a day are injured or killed in fires related to electrical faults, according to government statistics. Every home should have a regular EICR check to ensure the electrics are safe.

Safe Continued use

As a landlord, you need to prove your property is safe for continued use. You don’t have to confirm the property is up to the current regulations BS7671 18th Edition but need to ensure the electrical installation is safe. This is a confusion point for many electricians who will test to the current regulations and fail the property when in many cases safe continued use it would pass with code C3 in use on the report.

We as your chosen electrical company we will then provide you with a copy, following your payment for the visit and any work carried out. We will then provide you with the master certificate if required we will quote for any further remedial jobs recommended to bring your system up to a safe standard if you require.
