EICR & Electrical Safety Certificates in London
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) records the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation. AC Kinetic is a NICEIC-approved contractor carrying out inspections for landlords, homeowners, managing agents and businesses across London. We explain the findings and quote remedial work separately.
What an EICR covers
Our engineers inspect and test the installation within the agreed scope and record any limitations — consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, protective devices and earthing/bonding — against the requirements of BS 7671 (18th Edition). You receive a full report coding each observation C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation), with a clear summary of anything that needs remedial work.
Landlord legal obligations
Private landlords covered by the rules in England must arrange inspection at least every five years, follow any shorter interval in the report, give tenants the report and complete required follow-up work by the applicable deadline. We provide clear reports and quote separately for follow-up work.
Domestic & commercial EICRs
We inspect domestic and commercial electrical installations, with the scope agreed for the particular property. Tell us about multiple boards, occupied rooms, essential equipment and access restrictions. We confirm appointment availability and report arrangements when booking.
Planning your inspection
What is included?
Inspection and testing of the fixed installation within the agreed scope, followed by an Electrical Installation Condition Report. An EICR records findings; an inspection does not include unlimited repairs or guarantee a satisfactory result.
What affects the price?
Our domestic starting price is £240 including VAT for one fuse board with up to eight circuits. Tell us about extra boards, additional circuits, commercial use and access restrictions so we can price the inspection properly.
Before we arrive
Arrange access to the consumer unit, rooms and electrical accessories. Tell us about sensitive equipment, tenants and any circuits that cannot be switched off. Testing requires planned interruptions to the electricity supply.
After the inspection
We explain the report and any required next steps. Remedial work is quoted separately. Keep the report together with any subsequent certificates or written confirmation of remedial work.

EICR & Electrical Safety Certificates — FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we're asked most.
How much does an EICR cost in London?
Domestic EICRs start from £240 including VAT (£200 excluding VAT) for a fuse board with up to 8 circuits. Additional circuits, commercial inspections and out-of-hours work are quoted separately. Contact us for a price tailored to your property.
How often do I need an EICR?
For covered private tenancies in England, five years is the maximum inspection interval; follow any earlier date in the report. A tenancy change alone does not require a fresh report when the existing one remains current and adequate.
How long is an EICR valid for?
Follow the next inspection date and required actions in the report. It records the condition when tested and does not guarantee future safety.
My EICR came back unsatisfactory — what next?
C1, C2 or FI observations need action. For covered rented homes, required work must be completed within 28 days or the shorter deadline in the report. We can quote for that work and provide appropriate written confirmation afterwards, to keep with the original EICR.
