What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document produced following an assessment of the electrical installation within a property. It identifies any defects, damage, or conditions that may give rise to danger, along with observations on deviations from current regulations.
For landlords, an EICR is a legal requirement before letting a property and must be renewed every 5 years. For homeowners, we recommend an EICR every 10 years or when buying/selling a property, or following any major electrical work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an EICR cost in Devon?
EICR prices in Devon start from £250 plus VAT for properties up to 8 circuits. We charge £50 per room upwards, and £25 per additional circuit over 8. We provide fixed quotes with no hidden fees.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical domestic EICR takes 2-4 hours depending on the size of your property and number of circuits. Commercial EICRs may take longer.
What happens if my EICR fails?
If issues are found, we'll explain the condition codes (C1, C2, C3, FI) and provide a quote for remedial work. Landlords must complete C1/C2 repairs within 28 days.
Do landlords legally need an EICR?
Yes, since 2020 all landlords in England must have a valid EICR for their rental properties. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
EICR Testing Across Devon
We carry out EICR inspections for landlords, homeowners, estate agents, and letting agencies right across Devon. A large part of our testing work comes from landlords with rental portfolios who need certificates turned around quickly to meet tenancy deadlines — we typically issue the report the same day as the inspection, and if remedial work is needed, we can often complete it within 48 hours.
The most common issues we find during EICRs are missing or ineffective earthing bonds, lack of RCD protection on older consumer units, and deteriorated wiring in properties that haven't been inspected for decades. If your property was last tested more than 10 years ago (or 5 years for rentals), it's worth booking an inspection — catching problems early is far cheaper than dealing with an emergency.
