Every West London landlord who lets residential property needs a valid EICR certificate. The Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 require an Electrical Installation Condition Report before any tenancy begins, with renewals due at least every five years. Failing to comply with these EICR regulations can lead to penalties of up to £30,000 per property. EICR Landlord Cert carries out full EICR testing and EICR inspections across West London from £85 at a fixed price with no hidden charges.
Our electricians are NICEIC-Approved and carry out every EICR test to BS 7671 wiring regulations, the 18th Edition IET standard. Each engineer holds a valid DBS check, and we carry full public liability insurance on all jobs. Same-day inspections are available Monday to Friday for landlords who need a periodic electrical inspection at short notice. Your EICR report is issued once the inspection is complete.
An electrical safety certificate is the formal document proving the fixed wiring at your West London rental property has passed its EICR inspection. What is an EICR certificate? The EICR meaning is Electrical Installation Condition Report. This landlord electrical certificate confirms that the consumer unit, circuits, sockets, earthing, and bonding arrangements all meet the requirements of BS 7671. For landlords in the private rented sector, holding this electrical safety certificate is a legal obligation under the 2020 regulations, not a recommendation.
During the inspection, our qualified electrician performs both a visual inspection and electrical tests on every circuit. The process covers insulation resistance testing, polarity verification, earthing checks, and RCD testing across the full electrical installation. We examine the consumer unit, distribution board, and all permanently wired equipment. Any defects found during the EICR electrical test are logged using observation codes: C1 for danger present, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, and FI for further investigation needed.
Many properties across the area have older electrical installations modified over the years. A periodic electrical inspection identifies problems such as cable deterioration, overloaded circuits, and outdated wiring before they put tenants at risk. Your electrical safety certificate is issued once the inspection is complete.
EICR testing covers every element of the electrical installation at your property, confirming safe operation and electrical compliance.
All EICR testing follows BS 7671 wiring regulations, and every result is documented on your electrical installation condition report.
An EICR inspection gives landlords a detailed assessment of whether the electrics at their property are safe and compliant for tenants.
A satisfactory outcome means your 5-year electrical certificate remains valid until the next scheduled inspection, unless the electrician sets a shorter interval.
The EICR cost in the area starts from £85 with the EICR Landlord Cert. This EICR certificate cost is a fixed price covering the full inspection and the electrical condition report, with no call-out fees or hidden extras. The final EICR price depends on how many circuits the property has and its overall size, but we confirm the exact figure before booking. How much does an EICR cost? Our EICR prices are transparent, and we make sure you know the cost of your EICR report before we visit.
A standard one- or two-bedroom flat across the area usually falls between £85 and £130 for EICR pricing. Larger properties with more circuits, including HMOs and converted buildings, will cost more, but our EICR costs remain competitive. We give you a clear EICR report cost upfront rather than a rough estimate that shifts once work starts.
We also provide Gas Safety certificates, EPC certificates, and PAT testing for West London landlords. Booking multiple services in one appointment cuts your total spend and means fewer separate visits to the property.
The 2020 regulations require every landlord with a tenanted property to hold a current EICR. How often does a landlord need an EICR? At least every five years, with no exceptions.
Penalties reach up to £30,000 per property. Keeping your landlord’s electrical safety certificate current protects both your tenants and your investment.

The Electrical Installation Condition Report is the official technical document produced during an EICR inspection. What is an EICR certificate? It is this report, and for landlords it serves as legal proof that the electrical installation satisfies BS 7671 and the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020. Without a valid electrical installation condition report, you cannot lawfully let the property.
This electrical installation condition report for landlords records every circuit tested, the outcome of each electrical safety test, and any observations coded as C1 for danger, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, or FI for further investigation. A satisfactory overall result means nothing further is required until the next periodic electrical inspection. An unsatisfactory result triggered by C1 or C2 EICR codes means you must organise remedial works within 28 days and have the affected circuits retested.
Properties across the area come in all ages and configurations. A period conversion will present very different electrical challenges to a modern purpose-built flat. Our electricians have worked across every property type and understand the faults that appear most often in older fixed wiring installations.

EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is the official document that records the safety condition of the fixed wiring in a rental property. The Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020 require every West London landlord to hold a valid EICR for each tenanted property. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000 per property.
An EICR in West London starts from £85 with EICR Landlord Cert. The exact EICR certificate cost depends on the number of circuits and property size, confirmed before booking. There are no call-out fees and no hidden extras. A typical one- or two-bedroom flat falls between £85 and £130, with larger properties and HMOs priced by circuit count.
West London landlords must renew their EICR at least every five years, or sooner if the electrician sets a shorter inspection interval. The 2020 regulations also require a valid electrical installation condition report before any new tenancy begins. Staying current protects you from penalties of up to £30,000 and keeps tenants safe from electrical hazards.
An EICR checks all fixed wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, the consumer unit, earthing, and bonding. The electrician performs visual inspection, dead testing, including insulation resistance and continuity, and live testing, including RCD trip times. Every result is recorded under BS 7671 using EICR codes C1, C2, C3, and FI observation codes.
A domestic EICR on a flat in the area typically takes between two and four hours. Properties with more circuits or older, more complex electrical installations may take longer. Our NICEIC-approved electricians work methodically, and same-day inspection slots are available Monday to Friday for West London landlords who need to book at short notice.
Without a valid EICR, the local authority can serve a remedial notice demanding the electrical safety inspection within 28 days. Failure to comply can result in a financial penalty of up to £30,000 under the 2020 regulations. The council may also arrange the periodic electrical inspection directly and recover the full cost from the landlord.
C1 indicates danger is present, requiring immediate action from the landlord. C2 flags a potentially dangerous condition that must be rectified within 28 days through remedial works. C3 is a recommendation for improvement with no mandatory obligation. FI calls for further investigation. Only C1 and C2 observations result in a failed EICR and must be addressed.
Yes. Both terms refer to the same electrical safety inspection and the same document. EICR is the formal name for the Electrical Installation Condition Report produced under BS 7671 wiring regulations. Landlords, letting agents, and local authorities use the terms interchangeably. Both confirm the electrical installation at the property is safe for tenants.
No. The 2020 regulations require the EICR to be completed by a qualified, competent person registered with an approved body such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA. Our team is NICEIC-Approved, DBS-checked, and fully insured with public liability cover. Self-certification by landlords is not permitted and creates serious legal exposure.
After a failed EICR, you must arrange remedial works within 28 days to clear every C1 and C2 observation in the electrical installation condition report. The electrician retests the affected circuits and issues a new satisfactory report. EICR Landlord Cert handles both the repairs and the retest, often completing everything in a single visit.
