Electrical Testing & Inspection You Can Rely On

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of your property's electrical installation. It's a legal requirement for rental properties, commonly requested during property sales, and recommended for any home over 10 years old without a recent inspection.

At Bright Force Electrical, we carry out EICRs across Essex every day. Our qualified electricians work efficiently and issue your report on the same day — no waiting around for paperwork.

Common Questions

How often do I need an EICR?

Rental properties require an EICR every 5 years (or at each change of tenancy). Owner-occupied homes are recommended every 10 years, or when buying a property.

Is an EICR a legal requirement?

Yes, for landlords. Since 2020, landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants.

What happens if the EICR fails?

There's no pass or fail — the report classifies issues found. C1 issues (immediate danger) need urgent attention; C2 issues should be addressed promptly. We quote for any remedial work separately.

How long does an EICR take?

An EICR on a typical 3-bedroom home takes 2–4 hours. Larger properties take longer. We'll confirm timings when you book.

Will you need to turn the power off?

Yes, briefly — we need to test each circuit individually, which requires isolating them one at a time. Total power-off time is typically 30–60 minutes across the inspection.

Can you do remedial work on the same day?

If minor remedial work is needed, we can often carry it out on the same visit. For larger jobs we'll provide a separate quote and schedule a return visit.
