Why Do UK Households Need To Get Electrical Installation Condition Reports Done?

Electrical installations and wiring in UK homes can deteriorate over time, so it’s a good idea to get EICRs done regularly. This will allow you to spot any faults that could cause electric shocks or fires and ensure your property is safe to live in.

In the UK, 70 people are killed, and 350,000 people are seriously injured each year due to electrical faults, according to government statistics. Faulty electrical wiring, switches and sockets can also cause over half of accidental house fires across the country – something that should never happen.

As a landlord, it’s your responsibility to ensure that all the electrics in your property are working correctly and comply with regulated standards. The latest version of the Wiring Regulations came into effect in 2019, meaning that you’ll need to have an inspection and test of your electrical installation no more than every five years if your property was built after this date. If the report identifies that your electrical installation isn’t safe and recommends that it be improved, you’ll be required to do any remedial work. You’ll have 28 days to carry out this unless the report specifies a shorter period or the work is urgent.

A typical EICR assessment will take 1-4 hours, depending on how many fuses, consumer units and distribution boards your property has. Once the evaluation is complete, your electrician will produce an Electrical Installation Condition Report and send it to you by email. The report will detail the condition of your property’s electrical installation and whether it meets current regulations. If it doesn’t, your electrician will highlight the problem and suggest what needs to be done to make it meet current standards.

Your Southgate electrician will also highlight any parts of your installation that are faulty and need to be repaired or replaced. For example, if the installation isn’t adequately protected against the elements or if it has been subject to damage. If your landlord fails to make the repairs and improvements recommended in an EICR, you can then make a complaint to the local authority or ask the council to arrange for them to do so. They will then issue a Notice of Remedial Action to your landlord, advising them of what they must do.

The Law Of Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) are a legal requirement for all private landlords in the UK and Scottish properties too. They’re the result of new legislation which came into force this month and require all rented properties in England to have an EICR in place from July 1st 2020, at the start of a new tenancy. They’re an in-depth assessment of the electrical installations of a property, ensuring they meet the BS 7671 safety standard for electrical wiring. They check for inadequate earthing or bonding, overloaded circuits, fire risks and defective work.

These reports are essential for preventing severe accidents in your home, such as electric shocks, burns and electrocution. They can also help identify fire hazards or high-temperature risks that could lead to injuries. The reports must be carried out by a competent person and should be accompanied by a dated inspection certificate which details the inspection date. It should also state the results of the tests, the date the report was issued and any investigative or remedial work required.

Landlords who don’t carry out the tests or provide a copy of the report can be fined up to PS30,000. They must also ensure their tenants get a copy of the inspection report before they move in and send copies to prospective tenants. Once the testing has been completed, your electrician will produce a report highlighting any issues and recommending any improvements or repairs. It should be sent to you, the tenant and local authorities immediately.

It will detail the testing results and any improvements recommended and will include the dates by which the next test will be done. The amount of time it takes for one of these reports to be written will vary depending on how many sockets and cables need to be tested and the complexity of the testing. Landlords should review their EICRs regularly and make any necessary changes as necessary, such as changing the fuse board to a new one or replacing the insulation on sockets. This will ensure that the wiring in their property is safe to use until the next inspection is due.
