What Is An EICR?
A focused inspection of your property’s electrics.
An EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It involves testing and inspecting the fixed electrical installation in a property, then recording the results on an EICR certificate. The report helps identify whether the electrics are satisfactory, unsafe, damaged, outdated or in need of improvement.
Visual inspection
Sockets, switches, lights, consumer units and visible accessories are checked for damage or unsafe condition.
Recorded results
Readings and observations are recorded on an EICR form so the findings are clear and traceable.
Remedial advice
If defects are found, Garforth Electrical Ltd can explain the issue and advise on the next step.
Fixed Wire Testing
The test results tell the story of the installation.
During an EICR, an electrician carries out electrical tests on circuits and records readings. These readings help assess the quality and condition of the installed cabling, protective devices and electrical system.
Alongside the circuit testing, the electrician also checks accessories throughout the property, including switches, sockets, lights and visible electrical equipment. Damaged accessories can present a shock risk and should be reported clearly.

Old wiring observations
Clear remedial advice
Rewire Warning Signs
Old wiring can change the result of the report.
Older cabling, poor joints, dated accessories and fuse boxes without RCD protection can all affect an EICR outcome. If the installation is at the end of its life, the report may recommend remedial work, a fuse box upgrade or even a full or part rewire.
Old non-PVC cabling or lead sheath cabling
Damaged sockets, cracked switches or tired accessories
Old Wylex rewireable fuses with no RCD protection
Old Cabling Example
Hidden issues can sit under floors or behind accessories.
Some electrical problems are not obvious during a normal viewing. An EICR helps uncover the condition of the installation so landlords, homeowners and buyers understand the risks before ignoring them.
Useful before buying or selling a home
Important for landlords and rented properties
Helpful before renovation work starts
Old Wiring Checks
Older wiring needs a proper inspection, not a guess.
If a property has old cabling, old accessories, no RCD protection or a dated fuse box, an EICR gives a clearer picture of the electrical condition. This is especially important for properties from earlier decades that may have had additions, alterations or repairs over time.
The report helps separate urgent safety concerns from lower priority recommendations, so you can plan the right work in the right order.
