Need an EICR in Crawley? Voltrade electricians carry out electrical safety inspections for landlords, homebuyers, and homeowners.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. Since April 2021, landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants.
Voltrade electricians in Crawley carry out EICR inspections for landlords, homebuyers, and homeowners who want to check the safety of their electrical installation.
The electrician will inspect all fixed wiring, sockets, switches, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, and any other fixed electrical equipment. They test insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD operation. The inspection typically takes 2 to 4 hours for a standard 3-bedroom house. You will receive a report classifying any defects as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation needed).

A 3-bedroom coastal flats, period cottages, and 1960s developments typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Larger properties, older wiring, or properties with many circuits take longer. The electrician needs access to every room and the consumer unit throughout.
Yes, circuits are tested individually which requires them to be switched off during testing. The whole property will not be off at once, but each circuit goes off for 10 to 15 minutes during its tests.
Ensure the electrician can access every socket, switch, and light fitting. Move furniture away from sockets where possible. Clear access to the consumer unit and any junction boxes. Have your previous EICR available if you have one.
Minor faults such as loose connections can often be fixed during the inspection. Larger issues like circuit replacement or consumer unit upgrades are quoted separately and scheduled for a follow-up visit.
An EICR covers the fixed wiring installed in the property, the cables in walls, the consumer unit, sockets and switches. A PAT test covers portable appliances plugged into those sockets, like kettles, computers, and lamps. They are separate inspections.
