Electrical safety is essential in every property.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or business owner, ensuring your electrical system is safe and compliant helps prevent serious risks such as electric shocks and fires.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a professional inspection that assesses the safety and condition of your electrical systems.
At Cox Electrical Services, we provide fully certified EICR inspections across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, helping you stay safe and compliant.
What Does an EICR Involve?
An EICR is a detailed inspection of your property’s electrical installation. It checks whether your electrics are safe to continue using.
- During the inspection, a qualified electrician will assess:
- Consumer unit (fuse board)
- Wiring and circuits
- Earthing and bonding
- Sockets, switches and lighting
- Signs of wear, damage or outdated systems
You’ll receive a formal report outlining any issues and whether your installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
Who Needs an EICR in the UK?
Homeowners should typically have an EICR every 10 years. Landlords legally require one every 5 years in England. Businesses and commercial properties also require regular inspections to meet health and safety obligations.
What Do EICR Results Mean?
C1 means danger present and requires immediate action.
C2 means potentially dangerous and should be fixed as soon as possible.
C3 means improvement recommended.
