What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of all fixed electrical installations within a property — wiring, consumer units, sockets, and other fixed components. It identifies any defects, damage, or deterioration that could pose a safety risk.
Kent's mix of historic listed buildings, coastal properties, busy hospitality venues, and fast-growing residential developments creates a wide range of fire and electrical safety needs. From Kentish oast houses and period cottages to modern housing estates and commercial parks across Kent — our engineers carry out thorough, certificate-backed inspections for landlords, homeowners, and businesses of all sizes.
- Legal requirement for all private rented properties
- Required by most insurers for commercial premises
- Identifies hidden wiring faults before they become dangerous
- Provides an official satisfactory/unsatisfactory certificate
- Covers all fixed electrical installations
EICR for Kent Landlords
Since 2020, all private landlords in England must ensure their rental properties are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, and at the start of every new tenancy. An EICR certificate must be provided to tenants — it is a legal requirement to rent the property.
Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000. Our team makes the process straightforward — we carry out the inspection, issue the certificate, and flag any remedial works with a clear, prioritised schedule.
How Often is an EICR Required?
- Private rental properties: every 5 years or at change of tenancy
- Commercial premises: typically every 5 years
- HMOs: every 5 years (sometimes more frequently by local councils)
- New installations: before first use
