Electrical Installation Condition Reports Explained
An EICR is a formal inspection of a property’s electrical installation, carried out by a qualified electrician. It identifies defects, deviations from current standards and any conditions that could cause electrical fire, shock or injury. Since 1 July 2020, EICRs have been mandatory in all privately rented homes in England — required at change of tenancy and at least every 5 years.
Domestic EICRs
Standard EICR for residential properties. Approximately 2-4 hours on site for a typical 1-3 bed home. Detailed report issued within 48 hours.
Commercial EICRs
EICR for offices, retail, warehouses and commercial premises. Tailored testing approach to minimise business disruption.

Why Choose Strata for Your EICR
EICRs are about safety first and compliance second. Strata’s NICEIC-registered electricians carry out EICRs to the IET 18th Edition Wiring Regulations standard, focusing on identifying genuine risks rather than over-reporting trivial issues.

Common Questions
How often does an EICR need doing?
For private rented properties in England, an EICR is legally required every 5 years (and at change of tenancy). For homeowners, it’s recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes. Commercial premises typically every 5 years, though insurer requirements vary.
What's the difference between C1, C2, C3 and FI codes?
C1 = Danger present, immediate action required. C2 = Potentially dangerous, remedial action urgently needed. C3 = Improvement recommended (not unsafe). FI = Further investigation required. A property is considered ‘satisfactory’ only if there are no C1, C2 or FI items.
What happens if my EICR fails?
If your EICR returns ‘unsatisfactory’, you have 28 days to address the C1, C2 and FI items — and you must obtain confirmation of completion in writing. If you’re a landlord, this confirmation must be provided to tenants within 28 days. Strata can carry out the remedial work and re-issue a satisfactory certificate.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical 1-3 bedroom domestic EICR takes 2 to 4 hours on site. Larger properties, HMOs and commercial premises take longer. Power may need to be off for short periods during testing.
Do you turn power off during testing?
Yes — short power-down windows are required to test individual circuits safely. We agree power-off windows in advance and minimise disruption (typically 15-30 minutes per circuit). Critical equipment can usually be planned around.
Are landlord EICR fines really £30,000?
Yes. Failure to provide a satisfactory EICR carries fines up to £30,000 per breach (per property, per offence). The Renters’ Rights Act expands enforcement powers from 1 May 2026 — making proactive compliance more important than ever.
Do you do EICRs for HMOs?
Yes. HMOs typically have additional licensing-related electrical requirements. Our electricians are familiar with HMO licensing conditions and can issue compliant EICRs as well as advise on additional fixed-wire testing if your local authority requires it.
