Let BeEm’s Qualified team of engineers take care of your requirements and have peace of mind in your home

  • The frequency with which you should have electrical inspections and tests depends on the kind and usage of your property, the state of your system, and the results of your previous inspection.

    Our knowledgeable staff will gladly answer any questions you may have about having an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) completed.

Landlord Compliance

Private property owners must have every electrical installation in their residential property evaluated and tested by a skilled and competent professional every 5 years. From July 1, 2020, the requirements will apply to all new stated tenancies in England, as well as all current defined tenancies from April 1, 2021. Any tenancy formed on or after June 1, 2020, is considered a "new specified tenancy."

A private landlord must do the following after the examination and testing:

  • Acquire a report from the expert who conducted the assessment and test, which includes the inspection and test findings as well as the date of the next evaluation and test.

  • Keep a copy of that documentation until the next evaluation and test is due, then give a copy to the professional who will be doing the next inspection and test.

  • Within 7 days after receiving a written request from the local housing authority, provide a copy of that report to the concerned authority.

  • Within 28 days of the examination and test, provide a copy of the report to each existing tenant of the private residence.

  • Before every new tenant of the stated tenancy to which the report pertains inhabits those premises, provide a copy of the most recent report to that tenant; and any prospective tenant within 28 days of getting a written request for it from that potential tenant.

EICR | Electrical Installation Condition Report

 The inspection and testing of electrical installation systems are documented in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).

An EICR is used to verify whether an electrical installation is safe to use and in good repair. This is accomplished by:

  • Distribution equipment and final circuits are in good condition with all having a
    thorough visual check

  • Final circuits tested for satisfactory earthing arrangements

  • Insulation of conductors is tested

  • Polarity, & functional tests carried out to all circuits

  • Life saveing RCD’s tested

When it comes to selling your home

The buyer's surveyors will demand proof that any reportable domestic electrical work completed after January 2005 complies with the latest Building Regulations. There will be two methods for demonstrating compliance:

  • A certificate demonstrating that the work was completed by a qualified installer who is registered with one of the Electrical Self-Certification systems.

  • Or a local authority completion certificate stating that the installation complies with the UK Building Regulations. This, however, is contingent on the owner who requested the work presenting required electrical test certifications from a certified electrician upon completion of the installation.

Unsatisfactory Report | Action Required

If an Electrical Installation Safety Report detects immediate emergency repair work or necessitates 'further investigation,' the private landlord must ensure that the necessary job is completed by a qualified and capable professional within 28 days (or the period indicated in the report if it is less than 28 days), beginning with the date of the inspection process.
