Electrical Safety Certificates You Can Rely On
We help landlords, homeowners and businesses stay safe and compliant with the latest statutory electrical safety regulations.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your property's wiring, consumer unit, sockets and circuits, carried out against BS 7671 and classified by how serious each finding is. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must hold a satisfactory report and renew it at least every five years.
EICR Pro provides EICR testing, landlord safety certificates, remedial works, fuse board upgrades and rewiring across Sussex: one team, one clear report, and a fixed quote for any remedials before we start.

Our Services
Landlord Safety Certificates
Satisfactory EICRs for rental properties under the 2020 PRS Regulations, with copies ready for your tenants and your local authority within 28 days of the inspection.
Homebuyer EICR Surveys
Buying or selling? An EICR tells you the true condition of the electrics before contracts are exchanged, often the cheapest surprise you'll ever avoid.
Fuse Board Upgrades
Older boards without RCD protection are one of the most common reasons an EICR fails. We replace them with modern, fully labelled consumer units.
Remedial Works
If your report comes back with C1 or C2 observations, the same team quotes and fixes them, then issues the paperwork that proves the danger is gone.
Rewiring
Full and partial rewires for installations that have reached the end of their life: new cable, new consumer unit and full certification, planned around you room by room.
Why an EICR Every Five Years Matters
An electrical installation is the part of a building that gets worked on, added to and loaded harder every year, and almost none of it is visible. Cables age behind plaster, connections work loose under heat cycling, and alterations get made by people who never saw the original design. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a periodic inspection and test that finds those faults before they cause a shock or a fire.
For rented homes in England the interval is set in law. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person, to give tenants a copy of the report within 28 days, and to supply it to the local authority within seven days of a request. Where the report calls for work, it must be completed within 28 days (or sooner if the report says so) and written confirmation obtained.
Five years is a maximum, not a target. The inspector can set a shorter interval, and a change of tenancy, a new kitchen, a loft conversion, a breaker that keeps tripping or any sign of scorching is reason enough to test sooner.
Every observation gets a code
The classification beside each finding, not how many findings there are, is what decides whether your report comes back satisfactory.
Remedial Work: Bringing the Installation Up to Standard
- RCD protection: adding 30 mA RCD or RCBO protection for socket circuits and for cables buried in walls, the most common single reason an older installation fails
- Consumer unit replacement: swapping an old plastic or rewireable board for a modern non-combustible enclosure with every circuit clearly labelled
- Main protective bonding: correctly sized bonding conductors to the incoming gas and water services, frequently missing or undersized in older homes
- Earthing arrangements: verifying the earthing at the origin and improving it where the supply type or the measured values require it
- Damaged accessories: replacing cracked, scorched or loose sockets and switches, and remaking overheated terminations
- Circuit corrections: putting right undersized cable, borrowed neutrals and unsafe DIY alterations, and reinstating proper circuit separation
- Surge protection: fitting an SPD where the current edition of BS 7671 calls for one
- Documentation: a full circuit schedule and chart, plus the certification for the work carried out
We quote for remedial work before we start, itemised against the observation it clears, so you can see exactly what is being fixed and why. When it is finished you get the certification that proves it.
