Landlord Reports · Norwich & Norfolk
Landlord electrical safety certificates (EICRs), homebuyer checks and periodic inspections, explained in plain English, with any repairs quoted separately and never bundled in.

What we do
An EICR is a structured inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring: consumer unit, circuits, earthing and bonding, accessories and protective devices. It tells you what condition the installation is actually in, rather than what it looks like from the front of a socket.
Landlords in England need one at least every five years and at the change of tenancy. Homeowners typically want one when buying, before major work, or when a property hasn't been looked at in a decade or more.
The five-yearly electrical condition report, and the paperwork letting agents and local authorities ask for.
Full periodic inspection and testing, with a clear report, honest coding and remedial work quoted separately.
Anything flagged on the report put right and the installation re-tested, so you end up with a clean report.

Local expertise
Norwich has a great deal of pre-1970s housing, and plenty of installations that have been extended a few times over the decades without anyone standing back to look at the whole. Older village properties around Broadland often add another layer: outbuildings, garden supplies and workshop circuits added over the years. Those are exactly the installations where an EICR earns its money.

Common questions
Need a more specific answer? Call Phillip and you'll speak to the person doing the work.
A typical three-bedroom house takes several hours. Larger properties, or installations with lots of added circuits and outbuildings, take longer. Power needs to be off for parts of the test, so it's worth planning the day around it.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, carried out by a qualified electrician. It's the landlord electrical safety certificate letting agents ask for, and it tells homeowners and buyers what condition the electrics are really in.
For private rented property in England, an EICR is valid for up to five years, and a new one is needed at a change of tenancy. For owner-occupied homes, ten years is the usual recommendation, or sooner if the installation is old or has been altered.
C1 means danger is present and requires immediate action. C2 means potentially dangerous and requires remedial work. C3 means improvement recommended: advisory rather than mandatory. A report is only 'satisfactory' if there are no C1, C2 or FI (further investigation) observations.
Not automatically. A rewireable fuse board with no RCD protection will usually attract observations, but the coding depends on the condition of the installation as a whole and how it's used.
No. The report is yours. If you'd like us to price the remedial work, we'll do that as a separate, itemised quote, and you're free to have someone else carry it out.
No. An EICR covers the fixed installation. Portable appliance testing is a separate exercise.
