What Is an Electrical Landlord Certificate (EICR)?
An Electrical Landlord Certificate, also known as Electrical Installation Condition Reports, is a thorough inspection that checks the safety of a property’s fixed wiring.
An electrician will examine circuits, sockets, lighting and the consumer unit to identify faults, damage or non-compliance with current regulations.
The report grades issues by urgency and explains any actions needed to make the installation safe. Landlords use these certificates to show they are meeting all their legal duties and providing a secure home for tenants throughout each tenancy.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
Electrical Installation Condition Reports are a more formal inspection of a property’s fixed wiring. Qualified electricians test circuits, identify damage, wear or non-compliance, and highlight safety risks.
The report grades issues by urgency and recommends actions, helping landlords keep properties safe and fully meet current legal and insurance requirements.
Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate Issuance
Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates confirm a property’s fixed wiring has been inspected and meets regulations. Following an EICR, compliant installations receive certification for tenancy agreements. Landlords must keep records, issue copies to tenants, and, when requested, provide evidence to authorities clearly demonstrating continuing electrical safety management and full regulatory compliance.
Remedial Works & Minor Works Certification
Remedial works address faults or non-compliances found during inspections, such as damaged cabling, outdated consumer units or missing bonding. After repairs, we issue Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates describing what was done and confirming testing. Paperwork proves remedials were completed correctly and that circuits now meet all required safety standards.
Re-Inspection and Certification After Remedials
After remedial work is fully completed, a re-inspection confirms that previously identified issues are fully resolved. We retest affected circuits, visually check alterations and update coding on the original EICR as needed. A fresh certificate or written confirmation is issued, showing the installation complies with regulations and is safe for ongoing use.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) for Rentals
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) checks plug-in items like kettles, fridges and lamps in rentals. Visual inspections and electrical tests identify damaged leads, failed earth connections or unsafe appliances. Clear labels, logs and records help landlords manage safety, reduce fire risk and show due diligence towards tenants, visitors and enforcement bodies.
HMO Electrical Compliance Assessments
HMO electrical compliance assessments focus on multi-occupancy risks, where more people and appliances increase hazards. Inspectors will always check your consumer units, escape routes, emergency lighting interfaces and shared sockets for overloading. Detailed reports guide upgrades. Plenty of assessments help licence holders satisfy local authority conditions.
Common Faults Found and What They Mean
Common faults in an EICR often include loose connections, damaged cables, and cracked sockets, which can lead to overheating or electric shock.
Old fuse boxes without modern safety protection are also flagged because they cannot respond quickly to major faults.
Any missing or poor earthing and bonding can make metal parts unsafe to touch, whereas overloaded circuits show that too many items are drawing power at once, which increases the chance of fire. Each fault is explained in the report with a clear code that shows how urgent the repair is.
