You can’t see the dangerous faults hidden in your walls. Ageing cables, overloaded circuits and faulty fuse boxes are silent threats that risk fire, electric shock and costly damage. For landlords, this hidden danger also carries a heavy legal responsibility. How can you be certain your property is safe for tenants and fully compliant with the law? The definitive answer is a professional electrical safety report – known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report EICR. This is not just a document – it is your legally recognised proof of electrical safety, transforming uncertainty into confidence and protecting your property and people.
At Roberts & Co Electrical, we are your local guide to compliance. We simplify the process, conduct rigorous inspections and provide the clear eicr report you need for peace of mind. We help you fulfil your legal duties, protect your tenants, and safeguard your investment from preventable risks. Don’t let hidden electrical faults become a crisis. Let us provide the clarity and certification you require.
What to Expect from a Professional EICR Inspection
Our eicr inspection is a thorough, methodical process conducted by our fully qualified and NICEIC-approved electricians. We leave no socket untested. The inspection rigorously examines your property’s fixed electrical systems, including the consumer unit (fuse box), wiring, earthing, bonding and all accessible accessories.
The process delivers three crucial outcomes for you:
- Safety Identification: It uncovers any potential electric shock risks or fire hazards you cannot see.
- Compliance Verification: It confirms whether the installation meets the UK Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), which is a legal requirement for rental properties.
- Clear Action Plan: The resulting eicr report provides an easy-to-understand list of any observations coded C1 (Danger Present), C2 (Potentially Dangerous), or C3 (Improvement Recommended).
Based in Sowton, we are your trusted specialists for eicr exeter and across East Devon. We provide dependable testing for landlords, letting agents, and homeowners in Exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth and Honiton.
FAQ: Your EICR Questions Answered
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of the safety of a property’s fixed electrical wiring. It is a legal requirement for all private landlords in England, who must have the inspection carried out at least every 5 years. It is also highly recommended for homebuyers and prudent homeowners.
Our eicr pricing is fair and transparent, based on the size and complexity of your property. For a standard 2-bedroom house, our price typically starts from £200 + VAT. We provide clear, no-obligation quotes upfront so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
The recommended frequency varies by premises type. For commercial offices, it is typically every 5 years. For industrial sites or environments with higher risks, it may be every 3 years. We can advise on the specific schedule for your Devon business.
For an average 3-bedroom house, a thorough eicr inspection usually takes between 3 to 4 hours. We will always give you a realistic timeframe when you book.
A ‘fail’ means we have identified one or more potentially dangerous (C2) or immediately dangerous (C1) faults. We will provide a detailed quote to remedy these issues. Once the necessary repairs are completed by a qualified electrician, we can provide a retest to confirm the installation is now satisfactory.
Yes. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, the eicr report we provide is fully compliant and serves as your legal certificate. It will be emailed to you as a detailed PDF document shortly after the inspection is completed.
Absolutely. We are fully qualified, JIB-registered electricians and NICEIC Approved Contractors. We are the local experts for eicr exeter and the wider Devon area, trusted by landlords, letting agents, and management companies.
