Electrical Inspection & Testing
Behind The Job

What We Actually Test During an EICR

An EICR isn't a quick visual once-over — it's a full inspection combining a visual check of accessible wiring and fittings with 'dead testing' (checked with the power off, covering continuity, insulation resistance, and earthing) and 'live testing' (checked with the power on, covering RCD trip times and polarity).

Every issue we find gets a code, not just a pass/fail: C1 means danger present, needing action immediately; C2 means potentially dangerous, needing to be addressed urgently; C3 is an improvement recommended but not a compliance failure; and FI means further investigation is needed. We explain what each one actually means for your property in plain English on the day, not just in a report you get later.

FAQs

Common Questions About Electrical Inspection & Testing

Is my current installation actually safe to keep using?
That's precisely what the test tells you — a clear pass, or a specific list of what needs attention, rated by how urgent it is. No guessing.
How long will the test take?
A typical flat or house takes 2–4 hours on site. Larger commercial properties take longer, which we'll scope in advance.
What if it doesn't pass?
We list every issue found, rated by severity, and can quote for the remedial work on the spot — you're not left chasing a second contractor to fix what we found.
How often does a rented property need an EICR in Scotland?
At least every 5 years, or at change of tenancy if the previous report is due to expire — it's a legal requirement under the Repairing Standard.
How long does testing take?

What happens if the property fails?

Do I get the certificate the same day?
