To help you ensure continued safety of your domestic or residential property, Mittens Electrical can provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) whenever you need one.

The EICR is also known as aLandlord Electrical Certificate, a Home Condition Reportor a Periodic Inspection. If you’re a homeowner, landlord or tenant and are uncertain whether or not you need an EICR report, our specialists at Mittens Electrical can provide all the information and guidance you need.

Get in touch with us today for an Electrical Installation Condition Report for your domestic or residential property in the UK.

It will also help ensure your property satisfies pertinent current regulations at all times. While having an EICR carried out isn’t a legal requirement, we strongly recommend it in order tokeep your electrics functioning optimally and your property safe. We would advise you to have an EICR periodic inspection performed at least every ten years on a domestic property and at least every five years for rental properties (or at the change of each tenancy).

If you don’t know whether your property has ever undergone a periodic inspection or can’t remember the last time it did, contact us at Mittens Electrical today for a recognised EICR report.

What happens during Periodic Inspection?

We have specialists on staff who are qualified and registered to perform periodic inspections for all types of domestic and residential buildings in the UK. All our periodic inspections are personalised and tailored to match each individual building. This is important, because every building is different and therefore requires its own unique process to accomplish a comprehensive inspection that covers all areas. We can also perform periodic inspections on commercial properties.

For a periodic inspection of your domestic property, we will begin by discussing with youthe level of inspection you prefer. We can check the obvious aspects of your electrical system or go deeper, such as inspecting cables in floors, walls, and so on.

There could be operational limitations for inspecting the electrical system of a commercial property that can impact your servers or phone lines. However, we can develop a plan that minimises how much of your business is impacted (and for how long) whilst the inspection takes place.

Once the periodic inspection is completed, we can provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report, which will summariseyour electrical installation’s safety. This will come in handy when making an insurance claim on your property and in other scenarios. Depending on the condition of your electrical system, you might not need another EICR report for another 7-10 years.

If we discover any faults in your electrical systemduring the inspection, we can immediately recommend and deliver the best solutions to promptly rectify them. We promise you that our periodic inspections and EICR reports are honest and accurate.

Why do you need an EICR report?

Small electrical faults can be a sign of a bigger problem. Brushing such faults aside can lead to complications further down the road that will result in a more extensive deterioration of your electrical system. In fact, did you know that electrical faults cause approximately half of all UK house fires? You can avoid such expensive occurrences with a cost effective EICR performed by our experts.

Besides protecting your property, your loved ones, and/or tenants, an EICR is also often a requirement of home insurance firms. If this is incorporated in the fine print of your insurance policy (which it usually is), you might not be able to make a successful claim if you don’t have a valid EICR. That is, an outdated or non-existent EICR can invalidate your home insurance policy with your insurer, who will no longer be liable to pay out for an electrical fire or other damage caused by an electrical fault that could have been discovered during periodic testing.

To protect your interests, we can provide an EICR report every five years or at a change of tenancy.
