EICR in Croydon: common questions
How much does an EICR cost in Croydon?
Each electrician sets a fixed price by property size, so you see the full price before you book. Enter your Croydon postcode to compare prices from electricians who cover you.
How often does a rental property in Croydon need an EICR?
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report says so.
What do I need to do with the EICR as a landlord?
In England, give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, to new tenants before they move in, and to the local council within 7 days if they ask for it. Any remedial work must be completed within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
How long does an EICR take?
Most homes take a few hours, depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. The power will be off for parts of the inspection, so let your tenants know.
What happens if the EICR is unsatisfactory?
The report codes each fault: C1 (danger present) and C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation needed) make the report unsatisfactory, and the work must be put right. C3 items are recommended improvements only.
