EICR Testing in Leeds
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners and businesses, carried out by NICEIC-registered electricians.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners and businesses, carried out by NICEIC-registered electricians.
An EICR — Electrical Installation Condition Report — is a full inspection of a property's fixed wiring, sockets, circuits and consumer unit, checking for damage, deterioration and anything that doesn't meet current safety standards.
EICR testing in Leeds is something we carry out most often for landlords, who are legally required to have rented properties inspected at least every 5 years and to provide the report to tenants. Homeowners and businesses also use an EICR to check a property's safety — commonly when buying or selling, arranging insurance, or simply to have peace of mind about an older installation.
Every inspection is carried out by an NICEIC-registered electrician using both visual checks and instrument testing. You'll receive a clear report classifying any issues found, along with a plan for any remedial work needed.

How often do I need an EICR?
Rented properties in England must be inspected at least every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. Homeowners aren't legally required to test on a fixed schedule, but every 10 years — or at change of occupancy — is a widely recommended guide.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes. Landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years and provide a copy of the report to tenants and, on request, to the local authority.
What happens if my property fails its EICR?
The report will list any issues found, coded by severity. We'll explain what needs fixing and can carry out the remedial work, then re-test and re-issue the report to confirm it's satisfactory.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical domestic EICR takes a few hours, depending on the size of the property and number of circuits. Larger commercial installations can take longer.
