An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and assessment of a property’s fixed electrical installation. Our engineers examine electrical circuits, distribution boards, protective devices, earthing and bonding arrangements, and carry out appropriate electrical testing. A written report identifies the condition of the installation and any defects requiring attention.

In England, private and social landlords must generally arrange inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation at least every five years, or sooner where the previous report specifies an earlier interval. An EICR helps landlords demonstrate compliance with their electrical safety responsibilities.

The time required depends on the size of the property, number of circuits, distribution boards, accessibility and condition of the installation. A typical home may take a few hours, while larger commercial and industrial premises can require significantly longer. We can advise on the expected duration when preparing your quotation.

An unsatisfactory EICR identifies electrical defects requiring attention, such as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation required). J. Shaw Group can provide a separate quotation for necessary remedial works and appropriate follow-up documentation once the work has been completed.
