Specialist EICR Report
We provide Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) in Babraham for landlords, homeowners, businesses and commercial property owners.
Our qualified electricians inspect and test fixed electrical installations to identify faults, deterioration and potential safety issues. Once testing is complete, you will receive an EICR detailing the condition of the installation and any C1, C2, C3 or FI observations found.
Whether you need a landlord EICR, commercial electrical inspection or a check on an older electrical installation, contact us to arrange testing.
An EICR in Babraham typically costs £125 to £300+ for a residential property, with larger commercial and industrial premises generally costing more.
Prices vary because no two electrical installations are exactly the same. A small flat with a single consumer unit will usually take considerably less time to inspect than a warehouse, office building or industrial premises with multiple distribution boards and a large number of circuits.
The main factors affecting the price are the size of the property, number of circuits and distribution boards, accessibility and overall complexity of the installation.
Remedial work is normally priced separately if faults are identified during the inspection.
Contact us with details of your property for an EICR price in CB22 3.
An EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report used to assess the condition of the fixed electrical installation within a property.
Rather than testing individual portable appliances, the inspection concentrates on the electrical installation itself. This includes wiring, circuits, consumer units or distribution boards, sockets, switches and associated electrical equipment.
The aim is to identify deterioration, damage, defects and electrical safety issues that need attention.
During an EICR, a qualified electrician carries out visual inspections and electrical testing on the installation.
Depending on the property, this may involve checking:
EICR testing in Cambridgeshire may require circuits to be temporarily isolated, so there can be short interruptions to the electricity supply while the inspection is being carried out.
Once the assessment is complete, the findings are recorded within the Electrical Installation Condition Report.
An EICR uses classification codes to show the severity of electrical issues found during the inspection.
If your existing EICR contains C1, C2 or FI observations, contact us to discuss the next steps.
An EICR is normally considered unsatisfactory if C1, C2 or FI observations are recorded.
The EICR report will show where the problem has been identified and its classification. The next step is to arrange the necessary remedial work or further investigation.
This could involve repairing defective wiring, addressing earthing or bonding problems, replacing damaged electrical accessories, repairing circuits or investigating a fault in more detail.
Once the necessary work has been completed, appropriate certification or written confirmation of the remedial work should be provided.
We can review the findings of an unsatisfactory EICR and advise on the work required.
We carry out landlord EICR testing for houses, flats, apartments and other privately rented residential properties in CB22 3.
Private landlords in England who fall within the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report requires it.
The inspection provides a record of the condition of the fixed electrical installation and identifies defects that need remedial action or further investigation.
If your existing landlord EICR is approaching its next inspection date, contact us to arrange testing.
We provide commercial EICR testing for offices, shops, warehouses, factories, industrial units and other business premises in the UK.
Commercial electrical installations are often larger and more complex than domestic systems. The time and cost of the EICR will therefore depend on the premises, number of circuits, distribution boards and accessibility of the installation.
We regularly arrange inspections for:
For larger commercial or industrial premises, contact us with details of the property so we can establish the likely scope of the inspection.
Domestic EICRs are available for homeowners who want to understand the condition of an existing electrical installation.
You may choose to arrange an EICR when buying or selling a property, before carrying out major renovation work, where the electrics are particularly old or if the installation has not been inspected for a long time.
The inspection can highlight issues that are not immediately obvious from looking at sockets, switches or the consumer unit.
If you have concerns about the electrics in your home, contact us to arrange an EICR in Cambridgeshire.
Most domestic EICRs take a few hours to complete, while larger commercial or industrial inspections can take a full day or longer.
A property with a relatively straightforward electrical installation will generally be quicker to inspect than premises with multiple distribution boards, a large number of circuits or difficult-to-access areas.
We can give you a better indication of the expected inspection time when you book.
How often an EICR should be carried out depends on the type and use of the property, the condition of the electrical installation and the recommended interval stated on the previous report.
For private rented properties in England that fall within the relevant regulations, electrical inspection and testing is generally required at least every five years, or sooner where the previous report specifies a shorter interval.
Commercial, industrial and owner-occupied residential properties can have different recommended inspection periods.
If you already have an EICR, check the report for the recommended date of the next inspection.
If an EICR identifies electrical defects, remedial work may be needed before the installation can be considered satisfactory.
The work required depends entirely on what has been found. It could be a relatively straightforward repair or require further investigation into a circuit or part of the installation.
Common EICR remedial work can include:
Where remedial work is available, we can review your EICR and discuss what needs to be corrected.

We provide Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners, businesses and commercial property owners, covering everything from houses and flats to offices, warehouses and industrial premises.
Tell us about your property and we can discuss the cost, inspection requirements and availability.
Whether an EICR is legally required depends on the property and how it is used.
Private landlords in England who fall within the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations have specific inspection and testing requirements. Different duties and electrical safety requirements can apply to commercial premises and other types of property.
If you are unsure whether you need an EICR, contact us with details of the property.
No. EICR testing and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) are different services.
An EICR assesses the fixed electrical installation, while PAT testing focuses on portable electrical appliances and equipment.
Some circuits will normally need to be isolated temporarily while electrical testing is carried out.
This can result in short interruptions to the power supply. If you operate a business or have equipment that cannot easily be switched off, let us know before the inspection.
Make sure the electrician can access consumer units, distribution boards, sockets and other relevant parts of the electrical installation.
It is also useful to mention any known faults, previous electrical work or areas that are difficult to access before testing begins.
Not necessarily. The extent of inspection and testing will depend on the installation and agreed scope of the EICR.
Any limitations on the inspection or testing should be recorded within the report.
You should receive a copy of the Electrical Installation Condition Report following completion of the inspection and testing.
If you are a landlord, make sure you retain your report and provide copies where required.
It may be possible to arrange commercial EICR testing around the normal operation of your business, depending on availability and the requirements of the inspection.
This can be particularly useful where isolating circuits during normal working hours would cause significant disruption.
Contact us to discuss your premises and preferred inspection times.
We will usually need the property type, approximate size, location and information about the electrical installation.
For larger commercial premises, details such as the number of distribution boards and circuits can help us establish the likely amount of inspection and testing required.
