Our City & Guilds, 18th-Edition electricians inspect and test your consumer unit, circuits, sockets, switches, earthing and bonding. Every issue is recorded by code (C1, C2, C3, FI), and you receive a clear report showing whether the installation is satisfactory and exactly what, if anything, needs putting right. Most domestic inspections take two to four hours, with larger and commercial premises taking longer.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of a property’s fixed wiring. Who needs one depends on the property:
Every issue found on an EICR is given a classification code:
Your report is only marked satisfactory if there are no C1, C2 or FI codes. If yours comes back unsatisfactory, we’ll talk you through the remedial work needed and give you a clear, fixed quote.
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits — but we always give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises. As a rough guide for Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area:
Older and period properties — common across Poole, Bournemouth and the Dorset villages — can take a little longer because of the original wiring, and we’ll always flag that up front.
If you let a property in England, the law is clear: you must have a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. You then have 28 days to give your tenant a copy and to act on any C1 or C2 codes. We work with landlords and letting agents right across Dorset, turn reports around quickly, and can carry out any remedial work needed to bring the certificate to ‘Satisfactory’.
Is an EICR a legal requirement? For landlords in England, yes — every five years. For homeowners it isn’t required by law, but it’s strongly recommended, and is often needed when selling or for insurance.
What do the C1, C2, C3 and FI codes mean? C1 means danger is present and needs immediate action; C2 means potentially dangerous and needs urgent work; C3 is an improvement recommendation (not a fail); FI means further investigation is required. A report is only ‘Satisfactory’ with no C1, C2 or FI codes.
How long does an EICR take? Most domestic EICRs take two to four hours, depending on the size of the property.
What if my EICR is unsatisfactory? We’ll explain exactly what failed, give you a fixed quote to put it right, then re-test and issue a satisfactory certificate.
