Appointment details
An EICR is a detailed electrical inspection of a property’s electrical installation where an in-depth report detailing any necessary remedial work is produced. During the appointment, your electrical engineer will complete an Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure that all electrical circuits on the property are in working order and are safe to use. Please note that the electrical engineer will need to disconnect the installation from the main electrical power supply for the inspection. Please note, it is your responsibility to plug appliances back in after your electrics have been tested (this includes your fridge/freezer). The entire onsite process will typically take up to two hours depending on the number of circuits on the property. Following the assessment, the Electrical Safety Certificate is emailed within 2-5 business days.
As a landlord you are required by law to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report, this helps protect you from prosecution in the event that a tenant is harmed by faulty electrics in your property.
The frequency with which EICRs should be obtained varies depending on the kind of property. For rental properties, an EICR Testing is typically done every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. An EICR should only be done by a qualified electrician.
What does the inspection include?
- The inspection includes the below checks if earthing and bonding is adequate
- Whether light switches, fittings, sockets, and controls are suitable, serviceable, and protected - replacement will be recommended if necessary
- If earthing and bonding is adequate
- If the wiring system is adequate and its current condition
- If adequate identification and safety notices are available
- The extent of any wear and tear, damage or deterioration
- Whether there are any changes in the use of the premises which have led to, or may lead to, unsafe conditions
Appointment details
A Non-Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Report is, as it states, a report rather than a certificate. It provides an assessment of the in-service condition of a commercial electrical installation against current requirements. During the appointment, the electrical engineer will complete an Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure that all electrical circuits on the property are in working order and safe to use. All lighting and lighting circuits will be assessed and a report on the findings will be logged. Typically a commercial EICR is a lot more in depth than a standard domestic report. For commercial properties, there may be operational limitations that the engineer will discuss with you first, such as shutting down any servers or phone lines that would impact a business. The engineer may ask for a sample rate which would detail what percent of sockets would be tested to begin with, and then should any faults occur with the sample size, the engineer may choose to increase the sample size (i.e, from 25% to 50%) to check for further faults.
The entire onsite process can take from a few hours to a couple of days depending on the size of the property, especially for some larger commercial or industrial installations. Following the completion of the assessment, the Electrical Installation Condition Report is emailed within 2-5 business days. It is a legal requirement commercial properties are tested every 5 years and installations at industrial premises are tested at least every 3 years
As a landlord you are required by law to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report, this helps protect you from prosecution in the event that a tenant is harmed by faulty electrics in your property.
What you will need to do prior/during the appointment?
- If you are not sure about the type and the quantity of the circuits please contact the engineer
- Give permission to engineer to disconnect installation from the main electrical power supply for the inspection
Appointment details
Portable appliance testing, or PAT, involved the inspection of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. During the appointment, your selected professional electrical engineer will visit the property and complete an Electrical Safety Inspection to ensure that all electrical appliances on the property are in working order and are safe to use. All electrical appliances supplied by a flexible cable with either a plug and socket or a spur box to connect it to the fixed electrical installation are considered portable appliances or portable electrical equipment (PEE) and need to be tested, regardless of their size. Typical examples of PEE include kitchen equipment, including toasters, food mixers, kettles, refrigerators, microwave ovens and office equipment such as computers, printers, scanners, and any Extension leads are also regarded as portable appliances. The entire onsite process will typically take up to one hour depending on the number of appliances on the property.
Although the law does not specifically state how often PAT testing should be performed, it is reasonable to at least have an inspection yearly. PAT testing is one of the most effective ways to minimize electric risks from faulty appliances.
What does the inspection include?
PAT testing includes visual checks for:
- Damages to the flexible cable such as cuts, abrasions, trapped cables etc.
- Damages to the plug, such as cracked case or bent pins
- Illegal joints in the cable, such as taped joint
- Any equipment being used in unsuitable conditions, such as wet or dusty environment
- Any signs of overheating, such as stains or burns
Appointment details
Upon confirmation of the service, an accredited Energy Assessor visits the property to collect the required data for assessing energy features based on the construction, type of dwelling, and relevant fittings (i.e, heating systems, insulation, windows, fixed outlets, lighting, etc). Please allow easy and full access for the assessor to inspect all heating and lighting fixtures/fittings including the boilers, hot water cylinders and the electric meter. The entire onsite process generally takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. Following the assessment, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is generated using government-approved software, which typically takes 1-3 business days, and will be emailed to you once ready. Once the EPC is lodged it will appear on the national Domestic EPC register.
The EPC should not be read as a comment on the overall condition of the property, nor will it cover any items that would be included in a building survey.
An EPC is a legal requirement for the property to be marketed for sale or let. The certificate is valid for 10 years although it is recommended to renew the certificate every time works are carried out to the property that could improve its energy performance ie. replacement boiler/windows, loft or wall insulation.
Our EPC prices are calculated on the number of bedrooms, location and availability and carried out by professional, verified assessors who are certified with the official EPC Register.
What does an EPC contain?
- A record of how energy efficient a building is and its environmental impact
- Information on the property’s typical energy costs
- Suggested recommendations on reducing energy use and saving money
- An energy efficiency rating of the property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient)
Appointment details
Upon confirmation of the service, an accredited Energy Assessor visits the property to collect the required data for assessing energy features based on the construction, data, and relevant fittings (i.e, heating systems, insulation, windows, fixed outlets, lighting, etc). Please allow easy and full access for the assessor to inspect all heating and lighting fixtures/fittings including the boilers, hot water cylinders and the electric meter. Given the size and complexity of some commercial buildings, this inspection can take a number of hours or even days. Following the assessment, a Non-Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (which includes two documents: an EPC certificate and a separate Recommendations Report) is generated using government-approved software, which typically takes 1-3 business days, and will be emailed to you once ready. Once the EPC is lodged it will appear on the national Commercial EPC register.
A Non-Domestic EPC is a legal requirement for all commercial buildings exceeding 50 sq meters. The law states that a Non-Domestic EPC is required when you market the premises for let or sale, a building under construction is finished or where there are changes to the number of parts used for separate occupation and these changes involve providing or extending fixed heating, air conditioning or mechanical ventilation systems.
The EPC must also be displayed in your commercial building if the total useful floor area is over 500 sq meters, the building is frequently visited by the public or an EPC has already been produced for the building’s sale, rental or construction
The certificate is valid for 10 years although a new certificate may be required if the building is subject to renovations, alterations, extensions etc.
Commercial buildings are divided into three categories for EPC purposes, depending on size, heating and cooling systems, etc. For further information please get in touch with us.

Brilliant Service. Mehdi telephoned 30 minutes before arriving to let me know he was on his way. The inspection was carried out with no fuss and the Certificate was available, online, a short time later. One tiny point to mention, I had to go online a day or two later to request a receipt for the cost of the inspection. However this was emailed to me within minutes of my request. Certainly a service to recommend.

Mr Kashef arrived on time. He conducted a thorough inspection of the small terraced house that I rent to tenants. He observed some work that was required. He offered to let me use my own contractor, but as he was there and had quoted me a fair price, I asked him to complete the work which was done neatly and professionally. The safety report was issued within 24 hours. I recommend this contractor.

Great job. Mehdi was running a little late but when he arrived he got on with the job. He was very polite and carried out the work as requested.
amjad l.
The visit went very well and was carried out professionally, I agreed with Mehdi that I would send him an additional list of electrical upgrades to quote me for along with the rectification work identified on the certificate. However despite several text messages and phone calls he has been uncontactable, so are you aware if he has any problems that prevent him answering my calls ? If I can't get him to reply how do I get this work done without starting all over again with a different electrician ?
George T.
Mehdi was very helpful and explained what work he would do and why he kept me informed of what he was doing and any timescale would recommend definitely
Julie S.
Mehdi was efficient but got delayed with the polarity on one plug socket. I was charged an additional £40 for two double plug sockets.
Philip W.
Nasir M.
Everything went as planned and smoothly and all at a competitive price. Will certainly use again
David B.
He arrived on time and completed the work. The report was unsatisfactory so I contacted him multiple times to try and arrange the work required to be completed and he ignored my calls and messages . Ive obviously had to get someone else out to do the work and repeat the test . So waste of my time and money
Catherine W.
Excellent service, arrived before time and waited patiently for the tenants to arrive despite having to rush to the next job. Gave a reasonable quote and ready to fix the shortcomings eg. new fuse box etc.- would highly recommend to my friends and I have done it already.
Jaydeep P.

David B.
As a landlord I never met Mr Kashef so can't comment on behaviour and cleanliness. He numbered the consumer unit from right to left which is confusing in this country. He also incorrectly listed the Ampage on one of the MCBs.
Tim B.
The electrician forgot to switch the fuse box on and so refrigerator was off until tenants realised it. Otherwise very happy with the whole service and great job done. Thank you
Zainab A.
24 he later am still waiting for my certificate that I needed ASAP
JULIE G.
Would be great if after the test he ensured the electricity was back on & how he found it rather than me having to try & figure it out & argue the point to request a return visit to rectify the issue.
Bianca J.
Issued an incorrect fail certificate; luckily I know the electric regs well and had a corrected version issued. Won't be using again
David P.
was emailed the appointment at 11am but got a phone call which said at 9.30. arrived there at the time , no electrician. was told he was on the way
Mantat S.
he came on time and performed the test which was all fine, he pointed out that the kitchen fuse needed moving, which he said he would contact us to come and fix, but he never contacted me and i cannot contact him, leaving us in a bad position. We need this sorted as soon as possible.
jonathan s.
I was told by my tenants, he was only there 15 minutes, he smelt horrible and spent most of the time in the toilet, I never had a call to say there was two faults that needed sorting ASAP, or offered to get them sorted, as it was an c1 & c3 so I've had to try and get in touch with a different electrician company to try and get it sorted. So not happy with the service.
Katrina V.
He stated that everything was ok. In the evening he called that, however, there was something to be improved. He said he would do it for £ 40. The second week passes and I have no contact with him.
Anna K.
Very disappointed by this service. He asked to change the time initially agreed and then arrived late. I asked for an electrical certificate and PAT testing of all the appliances in the flat but he only PAT tested half of them. On top of this, he was not very communicative when he visited. I paid £134 for a service that is not good at all. I do not recommend it.
Aurore L.
I'm not sure I agree with you giving this fellow the term 'professional'! 1. I had to chase MyConstructor for the EICR; the electrician didn't bother sending it 2. There were some works required for which I was quoted by text message 3. Once the works were completed, I was asked to pay immediately- by text message- but was told to pay £260 instead of the £220 "quoted" 4. I have not received an invoice in any format 5. The electrician left a mighty mess in the kitchen. Kickboard and panel left off, chased out but did not bother covering, not even with trucking. 6. Called him to complain, but he told me he has no time and that I should get 'my plasterer' to see to it! This contractor is clearly not up to the standard required in this country. I would not recommend this contractor or this service. It would be far better to use a contractor recommended by somebody you know and trust.
