What is an EICR? (Electrical Installation Condition Report)
An EICR is a formal inspection of the electrical installation within a property, carried out by a qualified electrician. During the inspection, our electrician will assess the condition of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, and all fixed electrical parts of the installation.
After completing the inspection, a detailed report is produced highlighting any potential dangers, risks, and recommended remedial actions. The report also provides an overall risk-based rating for the installation and outlines when the next inspection should be scheduled. S&B Electrical carry out EICR electrical testing across London for homes, rental properties, and commercial premises. Learn more about EICR’s here.
When Should You Schedule an Electrical Installation Condition Report?
The recommended schedule for an EICR varies depending on the type and use of the property. Here’s a quick guide, though keep in mind that more frequent inspections may be needed if a previous report identified issues or if the installation is poorly maintained.
Domestic properties: For owner-occupied homes, an EICR is recommended every 10 years or when moving into a new property. For rental properties, an EICR is a legal requirement every 5 years or with every new tenancy. Learn more about our domestic electrician services.
Commercial properties: All commercial properties require an EICR every 5 years as a minimum. High-risk premises such as hospitals, leisure centres, and food businesses may require more frequent inspections. Explore our commercial electrician services for more information.
Industrial properties: EICRs are mandatory for industrial properties every 3 years. Regular inspections help ensure your facility stays compliant, safe, and operational. Contact us to find out more about our testing services.
What is PAT Testing? (Portable Appliance Testing)
PAT testing is the process of checking the safety of portable electrical appliances such as computers, kettles, power tools, and other plug-in devices. It is a vital part of maintaining a safe working or living environment, particularly in commercial and industrial settings.
During a PAT test, one of our qualified electricians will visually inspect and electronically test each appliance to ensure it is safe to use. Any items that fail are clearly identified so they can be repaired or removed before they cause damage or injury. For london electrical testing including PAT testing, get in touch with S&B Electrical today.
When Should You Schedule PAT Testing?
PAT testing is particularly important in commercial, industrial, and public settings where electrical appliances see heavy and frequent use. The right testing frequency depends on the type of equipment, how often it is used, and the environment it operates in.
As a general rule, annual PAT testing is recommended for most commercial environments, with more frequent checks for equipment used in harsh or high-risk conditions. You should also consider PAT testing when new appliances are brought into use or after any significant electrical system changes. Contact S&B Electrical to arrange PAT testing in London at a time that suits you.
