Electrical Installation Condition Report Croydon
Introduction to EICR reports in Croydon
An Electrical Installation Condition Report Croydon (EICR) is an important document that assesses the safety and condition of the electrical installations in a property. It is a periodic inspection that should be carried out regularly, much like servicing and obtaining an MOT for your vehicle. As a responsible property owner, ensuring the safety of your premises and the people who live or work there is essential.
Periodic electrical inspections and EICRs are recommended to provide proof that the electrics have been installed safely and correctly and are working properly.
Experts in EICR in Croydon
At Cre8 Electricity, we have a team of experienced and fully qualified engineers who are certified to Part P 18th Edition Amendment 2. This means that all our work meets the standards of the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
We are trusted by property management companies, private landlords, and business owners alike for our expertise in providing EICR reports and other electrical testing services.
Suitable for landlords and homeowners
EICRs are essential for both landlords and homeowners. For new tenancies from the 1st of July 2020, landlords in England must have electrical installations inspected at least once every five years (note that this is valid from the 1st of April 2021 for all privately rented accommodation).
A Satisfactory EICR certificate will be required to meet these new regulations.
At Cre8 Electricity, we guarantee a speedy turnaround from inspection to satisfactory certification, ensuring you remain fully compliant.
For homeowners, periodic electrical testing and EICRs are recommended, even if it is your own home. The frequency of testing depends on the building’s age, use, and general condition, but we recommend having it done at least every 10 years for domestic properties. If you are selling the property, it’s advisable to have an EICR done to ensure no delays in the process.
What is involved in an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report Croydon involves a comprehensive inspection and testing of the electrical installations in a property. Our tests go beyond a simple visual inspection, using specialised equipment to test the complete integrity of the electrical circuits according to the latest 18th-edition wiring regulations.
These tests include:
- Identifying potential hazards within the electrical installation
- Ensuring adequate earthing and bonding
- Assessing the condition of the fixed wiring of the installation
- Checking for overloaded electrical circuits
- Verifying fuse or circuit breaker ratings
- Detecting defective work
- Testing RCDs (Residual Current Devices) to ensure they trip correctly under fault conditions
