Do you need an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal assessment of the safety of your electrical installation. Here’s who needs one and when.
Old rubber or fabric-covered wiring
This type of wiring is well past its safe lifespan and a common finding in pre-1970s homes across Nottingham.
Fuses blowing or breakers tripping regularly
If your consumer unit is struggling to keep up with demand it's a clear sign the system needs attention.
Sockets that spark, smell or feel warm
These are warning signs that should never be ignored — call us today if you're experiencing this.
A failed or unsatisfactory EICR report
If your electrical inspection has come back with C1 or C2 codes, a rewire may be the recommended course of action.
Buying or renovating an older property
If you're moving into a home built before 1990 and there's no record of a previous rewire, it's worth getting one done.
What happens during your inspection
An EICR is non-invasive and typically takes 2–4 hours. Here’s exactly what to expect.

EICR FAQs
How much does an EICR cost in Nottingham?
Our EICR prices start from £150 for a 1-bed property and increase with property size. We’ll give you a fixed price before we book — no call-out fees, no surprises.
How long does an EICR take?
Most EICRs take between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. A 2-bed house is typically around 2 hours. You don’t need to be present for the full duration — just access to the property.
What do the EICR codes mean?
C1 means danger present — requires immediate action. C2 means potentially dangerous — remedial work required. C3 is an improvement recommended but not urgent. FI means further investigation is needed. We’ll explain every code in plain English when we hand over the report.
My EICR has come back unsatisfactory — what happens now?
An unsatisfactory result means C1 or C2 observations were found. We’ll explain exactly what needs doing, give you a fixed price for any remedial works and get them resolved — though there’s no obligation to use us for this if you’d prefer another electrician.
How often do landlords need an EICR?
Under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days. New tenancies require one before the tenancy begins.
Will my power be cut off during the inspection?
There will be brief periods where circuits are switched off for testing — but we’ll manage this to minimise inconvenience. We’ll always let you know before isolating anything.
