Able Electrical answers common questions about EICR testing, fixed wire testing, electrical certificates, commercial compliance, remedial work and inspection timescales across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a formal inspection of an electrical installation. It checks whether the wiring, circuits, distribution boards and protective devices are safe, suitable and compliant with current standards.
Yes, the terms are often used together. Fixed wire testing is the inspection and testing process. The EICR is the report produced after the inspection.
Many commercial properties are recommended to have an EICR every five years, although the correct interval depends on the premises, use, risk level and previous report recommendations.
Residential landlords normally need a valid EICR for rented property. Commercial landlords and property managers also have responsibilities to keep electrical installations safe and properly maintained.
The report will list observations such as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Urgent or potentially dangerous issues may require remedial electrical work before the installation can be considered satisfactory.
Yes. Our NICEIC Approved electricians can quote for remedial electrical work after an EICR and provide appropriate certification once the required work is completed.
Yes. For commercial premises, testing can often be arranged in phases, during quieter periods, evenings, weekends or holidays to minimise disruption.
