EICR Reports in London & Kent — Fixed Price, Certified, Results Same Day
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the legal standard inspection for any electrical system in the UK. Whether you're a landlord meeting your legal obligations, a homeowner buying or selling a property, or a business ensuring your premises are safe — DM Electrotechnical Services Ltd provides fully certified EICR reports across London and Kent.
All inspections are carried out by NAPIT-registered engineers. Your completed report is issued the same day. Finance available — spread the cost with Klarna or Clearpay.
Who needs an EICR and when?
Landlords
Legally required every 5 years (or at change of tenancy) under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Failure to comply carries fines of up to £30,000.
Homebuyers
Strongly recommended before exchange. An EICR identifies safety issues the building survey won't flag — and gives you leverage on the purchase price if remedial work is needed.
Home sellers
A valid EICR is increasingly expected by buyers. Having one ready can speed up the sale and prevent renegotiation at the last minute.
Homeowners (every 10 years)
Recommended by the IET for all domestic properties, regardless of age, to confirm the installation remains safe.
Commercial premises
Required every 5 years (or more frequently for high-risk environments). We carry out commercial EICRs for offices, retail units and industrial premises.
What happens during an EICR inspection?
We carry out a thorough inspection of your consumer unit, wiring, sockets, light fittings, earth bonding, and all fixed electrical installations.
The inspection is non-invasive — no damage to walls, flooring, or decorating.
Any issues found are classified as C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required).
Your completed report is provided the same day — either digitally via email or printed on site.
If any C1 or C2 issues are found, we can remediate them on the same visit in most cases.
Spread the cost of your EICR and any remedial work with Klarna or Clearpay. Interest-free finance on all jobs over £300 — apply in under 2 minutes.
Finance OptionsFrequently Asked Questions
How long does an EICR take?
For a typical 3-bedroom domestic property, an EICR inspection takes 3–4 hours. Larger properties, HMOs, and commercial premises take longer — we can give you an accurate estimate when you book.
What is the difference between C1, C2, C3, and FI codes?
C1 means immediate danger — remediation is required before the property can be used safely. C2 means potentially dangerous — remediation is required but not immediately. C3 is an improvement recommendation — no legal obligation to act, but advisable. FI means further investigation is required to establish whether an issue exists.
Does my property fail if it gets a C2?
An EICR does not "pass" or "fail" in the traditional sense — it issues a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory result. Any C1 or C2 code results in an Unsatisfactory report. Landlords must have C1 and C2 issues remediated within 28 days (or before tenancy begins).
Can you fix any issues found on the same day?
In most cases, yes. Our engineers carry common parts and can remediate standard C1 and C2 findings — such as damaged sockets, missing earth bonding, or worn cable insulation — on the same visit. We quote separately for any remedial work before starting.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
You or a responsible adult must be present to provide access to all areas and the consumer unit. The inspection is non-invasive and you do not need to be in the same room throughout.
