EICR Testing (Electrical Safety Certificates)

Ensuring Safety & Compliance in Every Home

At Safe Sparky — Britain’s Safest Electricians, we carry out EICR testing to the highest UK safety standards. Every Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) we produce meets current BS 7671 wiring regulations and all relevant local authority requirements. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, buyer, or seller, an EICR ensures your property is safe, compliant, and protected.

Even newly refurbished properties can conceal ageing wiring, overloaded circuits, or previous poor workmanship that puts families at risk. Older homes often struggle with modern electrical demands — with multiple devices and appliances running daily, your system must be safe, stable, and reliable. An EICR from Safe Sparky shows exactly what condition your electrical installation is in.

Why EICR Testing Matters

An EICR identifies hidden dangers before they develop into serious safety hazards. During testing, we commonly uncover issues such as:

• Outdated or deteriorating wiring that can overheat and cause fires

• Consumer units or circuits unable to handle modern electrical loads

• Arcing faults, where electricity jumps across gaps like lightning

• Missing earth connections and faulty outlets, increasing the risk of electric shock

By detecting these problems early, EICR testing prevents electrical fires, shocks, legal non-compliance, and costly repairs.

What We Check During an EICR

Our NICEIC/NAPIT-certified electricians carry out detailed EICR inspections that meet all current UK standards. This includes:

• Condition and placement of sockets, outlets, and switches

• Presence and effectiveness of RCD protection

• Circuit load checks and breaker performance

• Full assessment of the consumer unit and distribution boards

• Lighting circuits, including emergency lighting where applicable

• Bonding, earthing, and safety protections throughout the property

• Kitchen and bathroom safety, including RCD-protected circuits in wet areas

You receive a full Electrical Installation Condition Report, rating your system and listing any remedial work needed to ensure compliance.

EICR Testing for Homebuyers, Landlords & Renovations

Whether you’re buying, selling, renting out, or renovating a property, an EICR ensures there are no hidden electrical faults. We highlight risks, check if your installation can support extensions or new appliances, and advise whether rewiring, consumer unit upgrades, or additional circuits are required.

From full home assessments to targeted inspections, Safe Sparky gives you a clear, honest overview of your property’s electrical safety.
