Need an EICR in Trowbridge? 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 Trowbridge 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).

You receive the EICR document which details every circuit, its condition, and any observations or faults. If the overall outcome is Satisfactory, this serves as your compliance certificate for landlord regulations and insurance purposes.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. A qualified electrician tests every circuit and checks the condition of the wiring, consumer unit, earthing, and bonding against current safety standards.
Homeowners should have one every 10 years. Landlords are legally required to have one every 5 years or at change of tenancy. In Wiltshire, properties with stone cottages in villages, modern estates in towns may benefit from more frequent checks.
For private landlords in England, yes. Since 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR before a new tenancy begins and renew it every 5 years. For homeowners it is strongly recommended but not legally required.
