Our EICR testing process is straightforward, thorough, and designed to ensure your complete peace of mind. Here’s how we work at MAKSE Electrical and Renewables:
- Initial Consultation
We start with a brief consultation to understand your property type, usage, and electrical setup. Whether it’s a home, rental property, or business premises, we tailor our inspection to your specific needs and ensure compliance with relevant legal requirements.
- On-Site Inspection
Our qualified electricians then visit your property to carry out the EICR inspection. We examine all accessible electrical circuits, sockets, switches, light fittings and distribution boards. Using advanced testing equipment, we check for issues such as faulty wiring, overloads, poor earthing or outdated installations.
- Detailed Reporting
After the inspection, we compile a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report outlining our findings. Each observation is coded according to its level of risk from minor defects to urgent safety concerns. We’ll walk you through the results so you understand exactly what needs attention.
- Remedial Work (If Required)
If your EICR highlights any faults or non-compliance, we’ll provide a clear quotation for any necessary repairs or upgrades. Our qualified electricians can carry out remedial work quickly and efficiently to ensure your system meets Stafford safety standards.
MAKSE Electrical and Renewables provides a complete range of EICR testing services across the UK. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business, we ensure your property’s electrical systems are inspected, tested and certified to the highest standards.
- Domestic EICR Testing
For homeowners, electrical safety is vital. Our domestic EICR testing ensures your wiring, sockets and circuits are in good condition and pose no safety risks. Regular testing can prevent potential hazards like electric shocks and fires keeping your family and property safe.
- Landlord EICR Testing
Under UK law, landlords must have an up-to-date EICR carried out at least every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. We work closely with landlords and letting agents to ensure all rental properties comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. We also provide electronic certificates for easy record-keeping.
- Commercial EICR Testing
Businesses must ensure that all electrical installations within their premises are safe for employees, customers, and visitors. We offer commercial EICR testing for offices, retail spaces, factories, and public buildings helping you meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements and avoid costly downtime due to electrical faults.
- Pre-Purchase and Insurance EICR Reports
Buying a new property? A pre-purchase EICR helps identify potential electrical issues before you buy, saving you from unexpected repair costs later. Many insurers also require a valid EICR as part of their coverage conditions so we can provide this promptly and professionally.
Let’s discuss a project
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection that assesses the safety and condition of your property’s electrical system. It identifies defects, deterioration and non-compliance with UK regulations.
How often should I have an EICR done?
- Homeowners: Every 10 years (or with a change of ownership).
- Landlords: Every 5 years or at the start of each new tenancy.
Commercial Properties: Every 3–5 years, depending on the building type and usage.
What happens if my property fails the EICR test?
If your property receives unsatisfactory results, we’ll explain the issues clearly and provide a detailed quotation for repairs. Once remedial work is completed, we’ll retest the system and issue a satisfactory EICR certificate.
How long does an EICR inspection take?
The inspection time depends on the size and complexity of your property. Typically, a small home takes around 2–3 hours, while larger or commercial properties may take longer.
Is EICR testing a legal requirement?
Yes for landlords and commercial property owners, EICR testing is a legal requirement under Stafford law. Homeowners are not legally required but are strongly advised to have one done regularly to ensure safety and insurance compliance.
