An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the formal periodic inspection of a property's fixed electrical installation. For privately rented homes in England it has been mandatory since 2020, every 5 years, or sooner if specified, with a Satisfactory result required to issue a Section 21 notice and to satisfy the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) electrical compliance regulations. Most of our domestic EICRs are for landlords meeting the 5-yearly cycle, homeowners selling and acting on the buyer's homebuyer report, and owner-occupiers acting on insurer renewal requirements. Owner-occupiers are not legally required to hold one, but an EICR before a major project (rewire, kitchen, EV charger) is the cheapest piece of risk reduction available. We test every circuit, log every observation against BS 7671 with photographs, and issue the report within 24–48 hours for most domestic properties. The remedial schedule (if any) comes with fixed prices so you can act on it without chasing more quotes. ![EICR multifunction tester recording insulation resistance at a Nottingham domestic consumer unit](/assets/hero-eicr-DU3yxRrn.jpg) The honest bit ## Why EICRs fail and what the cheap providers leave out Domestic EICRs fail for predictable reasons. Plastic consumer units coded C2 since 2018. Bathroom lighting circuits without RCD protection (C2). DIY additions, extra sockets spurred off ring finals, garden lighting installed in hose-permeable IP-low boxes, kitchen extensions wired into the existing ring without recalculation. And the universal one, no main bonding to gas and water in homes that haven't been touched since the 1970s. What the £79 'EICR special' providers leave out is the cost of putting any of that right. They issue an Unsatisfactory report with a generic action list and disappear, leaving the landlord to chase three more quotes against a 28-day Section 21 deadline. We see this every month, landlords arriving at us in week 3 of 4 having lost the first 3 weeks to non-responsive cheap testers. The right model is honest pricing on the EICR itself, every observation costed individually, and the same engineer doing both the test and the remedial work, so the certificate is upgraded to Satisfactory the same week, not the same month. How we deliver it ## Our EICR / electrical safety certificate process, step by step. 1. 1\. Book & arrive We confirm circuit count and access at booking.

Tested and logged to BS 7671. 5. 5\. Report & remedial schedule PDF report issued within 24–48 hours of the test. Every C1/C2/C3 with fixed remedial price. Decide what to action, no pressure. ![JBRC NICEIC engineer in branded hi-vis reterminating a ceiling pendant during a landlord EICR at a Nottingham rental property](/assets/work-landlord-eicr-pendant-Bj3AzC6k.jpg) Why it matters ## What you actually get. ### Report in 24–48 hours Most domestic EICRs are issued within 24–48 hours in PDF, accepted by every UK letting agent and council. ### Costed remedials, no surprises Every observation comes with a fixed remedial price. You decide what to fix and when, we don't disappear after issuing. ### MEES & Section 21 ready Format accepted by every council in the East Midlands. No re-formatting, no resubmission. ### One engineer, start to finish The engineer who tests is the engineer who returns to do the remedials. No subcontracting, no handover. ![EICR test results being recorded at a Nottingham consumer unit during a rental compliance inspection](/assets/hero-eicr-DU3yxRrn.jpg) Live test results being recorded during a 5-yearly rental EICR for a Nottingham landlord under selective licensing. Technical depth ## Domestic vs rental EICRs, Section 21, and what code each observation gets Domestic EICRs and rental EICRs follow the same testing methodology and report format, both are issued under BS 7671 with the same NICEIC template. The difference is the legal weight. A rental EICR must be Satisfactory before a Section 21 notice can be served (the 'no-fault' eviction route) and must be retained for the duration of the tenancy plus minimum 5 years. An owner-occupier EICR carries no legal requirement but still appears on insurance renewal and conveyancing requests. Observation codes determine action. C1 (danger present) requires immediate isolation, the engineer locks off the affected circuit on the day. C2 (potentially dangerous) makes the report Unsatisfactory and must be corrected for the report to be reissued. C3 (improvement recommended) does not affect the result but is best practice to address. FI (further investigation) means the engineer needs more time and tools to diagnose, a partial Unsatisfactory pending the FI work. MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) electrical compliance under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 requires private landlords to hold a Satisfactory EICR. Failing to do so can attract local authority fines up to £30,000 per property per breach, and it is now a routine local authority enforcement target, especially in Nottingham where selective licensing covers significant parts of the city. Honest pricing ## EICR / Electrical Safety Certificate costs in Nottingham, real ranges, not headlines. Domestic and rental EICR pricing is fixed by property size. No call-out fee, no surprise charges. Real prices below. Scope Typical price (incl. VAT) Notes 1-bed flat or studio £120 – £160 Single distribution board, 4–6 circuits. 2–3 bed home £160 – £220 Most common spec, 6–10 circuits, single board. 4–5 bed home £220 – £320 10–14 circuits, possibly with garden / outbuilding circuits. 6+ bed HMO (BS 7671 + licence checks) £280 – £450 Includes selective-licensing-format reporting. ### What changes the price - Number of circuits and distribution boards - Whether it is a rental property under selective licensing (additional reporting fields) - Whether previous EICR exists for comparison - Access constraints (e.g. tenanted property requiring two visits) - HMO vs single-let Where we deliver this ## Areas we cover for EICR / electrical safety certificate.
