EICR Testing in London

S&B Electrical provide certified EICR testing for landlords, homeowners, and commercial property owners across London. Our qualified electricians inspect your installation, identify any issues, and issue a clear, compliant report – usually within 24 hours of the visit.

What is an EICR and Who Needs One?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. It checks that everything is safe, working as it should, and meets current UK wiring regulations. EICR testing is a legal requirement for rented properties in London and a sensible safety check for any building.

Landlord EICRs

A valid EICR is a legal requirement for all rented properties in England and must be renewed every 5 years. We help London landlords stay compliant and avoid the fines that come with letting an unsafe property.

Homeowner EICRs

An EICR gives you peace of mind that your home's wiring is safe. It's also worth doing before selling, buying, or renovating an older London property where the electrics may be outdated.

Commercial EICRs

Commercial properties should be tested every 5 years, or sooner depending on use. We carry out EICRs for offices, shops, restaurants, and industrial sites across London, with minimal disruption to your business.
