What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of your property's fixed electrical wiring. It identifies faults, deterioration, or non-compliance with current safety standards.

Do landlords need an EICR?

Yes, landlords in Scotland are legally required to have a valid EICR for their rental properties, renewed every five years or sooner if the report specifies.

How long does an EICR take?

A typical domestic EICR takes between two and four hours, depending on the size and age of the property.

What happens if faults are found?

The report categorises any issues by severity. We explain the findings clearly and provide a quote for any recommended remedial work, flagging urgent safety issues immediately.
