EICR inspections
An inspection isn't a promised pass
Arrange tenant access and find the previous report before the visit; repairs, if needed, get a separate scope and price.
Illustrative EICR for a one- or two-bedroom home with one board and up to six circuits, with normal access.

FAQs
What if the report finds faults?
How often does a rented home need an EICR?
In England, rented-home electrical safety rules generally require inspection and testing at least every five years, or sooner if the report specifies. Check the current guidance for the tenancy and property concerned.
Does the price include repairs?
No. The inspection and report are priced separately from remedial work, so the findings and any proposed repair costs remain clear.
Will the tenant need to be there?
Access needs to be arranged with the occupant or managing agent. The inspector needs suitable access to the installation and there will be planned interruptions to power.
Is the report a guarantee that I will pass?
No. It records the inspection findings. An unsatisfactory result may require remedial work or further investigation before the installation meets the required standard.
