Further investigation

What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the condition and safety of the fixed electrical installation and records observations using recognised classification codes.

The time depends on the size, layout and condition of the property and the number of circuits. Access to rooms, sockets and the consumer unit helps the inspection run smoothly.
Does an EICR include repairs?
The inspection and report identify observations. Any remedial work is normally quoted separately so you can understand what is required before authorising repairs.
