EICR in Southampton – Everything You Need to Know

Keeping your home or business safe is essential, and one of the best ways to ensure your electrics are in good condition is by booking an EICR in Southampton. At Riverside Electrical and PAT Testing Ltd, we carry out professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Southampton and the surrounding areas.

What Is an EICR?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a full inspection of your property’s electrical system. Think of it as a MOT for your electrics. A qualified electrician checks your wiring, sockets, consumer unit, and safety devices to make sure everything is safe, compliant, and working as it should.

What Does an EICR Include?

When you book an EICR with Riverside Electrical, we:

• Inspect wiring and connections for damage, deterioration, or poor workmanship.

• Test circuits to ensure they aren’t overloaded.

• Check RCD protection (essential for shock prevention).

• Verify earthing and bonding for safety.

• Provide a clear report, highlighting issues with easy-to-understand codes:

• C1 – Immediate danger

• C2 – Potentially dangerous

• C3 – Improvement recommended

• FI – Further investigation required

• Homeowners – An EICR helps keep your family safe and is strongly recommended every 10 years, or before buying/selling a home.

• Landlords – By law, landlords must provide a valid EICR every 5 years. Tenants also have a right to see the report.
