Electrical Certificates & Reports
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is more than just a piece of paper — it’s proof that your property’s electrical system is safe, compliant, and fit for purpose. At TBE Electrical LTD, we provide professional electrical testing and certification services across Essex, helping both homeowners and landlords meet their legal and safety obligations.
For Landlords & Homeowners
Landlords are now legally required to provide tenants with a valid EICR every five years, or sooner if recommended by a qualified electrician. This ensures your property complies with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, protecting both tenants and landlords from liability. For homeowners, an EICR is equally valuable. It provides peace of mind that your electrical installation is safe, efficient, and not at risk of faults that could cause damage or fire. It’s especially important before buying or selling a property, carrying out renovations, or after significant electrical work. At TBE Electrical LTD, we make the process simple and transparent. We’ll assess your installation, perform all necessary tests, and explain the findings clearly — without jargon. If any remedial work is needed, we’ll provide honest recommendations and a clear quotation.
Fully Certified + Insured
Every inspection we conduct is carried out by fully qualified electricians who understand the importance of accuracy and accountability. As a NAPIT-certified company, TBE Electrical LTD follows the highest standards in electrical testing, ensuring every report we issue stands up to scrutiny.
We’re also fully insured, giving you complete confidence that your property and investment are protected. Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive an official certificate detailing the condition of your electrical installation, including observations, recommendations, and a clear pass/fail outcome. All documentation is prepared in accordance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, giving you assurance that your electrical system meets the legal requirements for safety and compliance.
Legal Compliance Guaranteed
Electrical safety isn’t just a best practice — it’s a legal responsibility. Whether you’re a landlord managing multiple properties or a homeowner ensuring your family’s safety, staying compliant is essential.
Our EICR service guarantees that your property meets all current electrical safety laws and standards. If your report identifies any issues, TBE Electrical LTD can complete the necessary repairs or upgrades quickly and efficiently, followed by re-testing and certification to bring your system back into full compliance.
We handle everything from start to finish — inspection, reporting, and remedial work — so you never need to coordinate between different contractors. With Bailey & Trent, your safety, compliance, and peace of mind come first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EICR and why do I need one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document confirming the safety of your property’s electrical system. It’s essential for identifying faults, ensuring compliance, and protecting against potential hazards such as electric shocks or fires.
How often should I get an EICR done?
For rented properties, the law requires an EICR every five years or when there’s a change of tenancy. For homeowners, we recommend testing every 10 years or before buying, selling, or renovating your property.
What happens if my property fails the EICR?
If your installation is deemed unsatisfactory, we’ll clearly explain why and provide a quote for the necessary remedial work. Once repairs are complete, we’ll re-test your system and issue a new certificate confirming compliance.
Are EICRs required for commercial properties too?
Yes. While this page focuses on domestic and rental EICRs, TBE Electrical LTD also provides commercial electrical safety inspections for offices, shops, and industrial units throughout Essex.
Who is qualified to issue an EICR?
Only a competent, certified electrician registered with an approved body such as NAPIT can legally issue an EICR. Our electricians hold full accreditation and are trained in the latest testing procedures.
How long does an inspection take?
It depends on the property size and complexity of the installation. A typical three-bedroom home takes around two to four hours. We’ll schedule at a convenient time and work efficiently to minimise disruption.
