EICR advice

What happens during an EICR?

What customers should expect during an Electrical Installation Condition Report.

This is general customer guidance only. Electrical work, testing, certification and pricing must be reviewed by VLV Electrical Ltd.

Purpose of the inspection

An EICR records the condition of an existing electrical installation at the time of inspection, subject to the agreed extent and any limitations.

Typical checks

The inspection route depends on the installation, but common areas include the consumer unit, circuits, earthing, bonding, RCD/RCBO protection, visible condition and test results where completed.

Frequently asked questions

Will power be turned off?

Some testing can require isolation. VLV discusses access, occupancy and practical disruption before attendance where possible.

Ask VLV Electrical Ltd

Send the property type, postcode, access notes and photos or reports where safe. VLV will review the enquiry before confirming scope, price, booking or certification.
