Landlords and homeowners in Greenwich seeking a reliable EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) service are in the right place. Our certified electricians perform thorough inspections across Greenwich, Blackheath, Deptford, and neighbouring SE London areas.
What Is an EICR?
An EICR is a comprehensive evaluation of your property’s fixed wiring system. It includes checks on circuits, sockets, switches, lighting, earthing, and protective devices to uncover defects or hazards.
For rented properties, regulations require a valid EICR at least every five years. Without it, landlords face significant fines and potential invalidated insurance in case of an electrical fault.
