COMMERCIAL EICR REPORTS
If your commercial property hasn’t had an EICR in over five years, you may be at risk. Outdated wiring can cause fires, equipment damage, or legal issues.
We inspect commercial buildings across the West Midlands, including fuse boxes, distribution boards, and all fixed wiring. Our team is NICEIC-registered and works to BS 7671 standards.
If you're preparing for lease renewal, an insurance check, or just need peace of mind, we’ll make sure your electrics are fully documented. We also inspect houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), helping landlords stay compliant with updated standards for multiple occupation.
How often should a business get an EICR?
Most businesses need an EICR every five years. Higher-risk sites may need more frequent electrical safety checks.
Will the inspection affect our operations?
Not usually. We work flexibly to avoid disruption and can inspect outside working hours.
What happens if we fail the EICR?
We’ll explain the issues, offer repair work, and provide written confirmation. There’s no pressure or obligation. You’ll receive a copy of the report and advice on any remedial works needed.

RESIDENTIAL EICR REPORTS
Faulty home wiring can go unnoticed until it’s too late. A residential EICR checks your fixed wiring for risks like damaged circuits, overloaded systems, or loose connections.
Our electrical inspector will review your fuse box, sockets, lighting, and general wiring. All work follows BS 7671 standards. Whether you're moving home, renting it out, or haven’t had checks in years, we’ll make sure your EICR is valid and up to date.
We’ll always treat your home with care and respect, whether accessing standard sockets or more complex setups like swimming pools or HMOs (houses in multiple occupation).
When do I need an EICR for my home?
If you’re selling, renting, or it’s been 5–10 years since your last check, book an EICR. It’s a legal requirement for landlords every 5 years.
How long does an EICR take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on the property size and condition of wiring.
Will you need access to every room?
Yes. We’ll check all sockets, fuse boxes, lighting, and sometimes even lofts or pool buildings (e.g. if you have a swimming pool).
