Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners, and businesses
Looking for an EICR certificate in Peterborough? At DMG Electrical & Compliance Ltd, we provide professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) and landlord electrical safety certificates across Peterborough, Stamford, Spalding, Bourne, Oundle, and the surrounding area.
An EICR is a formal inspection of your property’s electrical installation. It involves testing and inspection of the wiring, consumer unit, circuit breakers, sockets, light fittings, and other fixed electrical systems to ensure they meet current safety standards.
Our team of qualified electricians works under the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme, following the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2022), so you know your property is in safe hands.
Why EICRs matter
An EICR certificate isn’t just another piece of paper — it’s proof that your electrical system has been checked for safety and compliance.
Over time, wiring, distribution boards, and electrical fixtures can deteriorate, creating risks like...
-
Electrical fires from faulty wiring or electrical arcing
-
Shock hazards from damaged sockets or exposed electric cables
-
Flickering lights, faulty switches, or electrical faults caused by overloaded circuits
-
Appliance damage, from electric stoves to showers, due to poor insulation resistance
EICRs: Legal requiremenst
For landlords
If you let out a property, an up-to-date landlord's electrical safety certificate is a legal requirement.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, landlords must...
-
Arrange an EICR at least every 5 years, or at the start of each new tenancy
-
Provide a copy of the electrical safety certificate to tenants and the local authority if requested
-
Carry out any remedial works highlighted in the report within 28 days
Failure to comply can lead to fines of up to £30,000.
For homeowners
While not legally required, domestic EICR certificates are strongly recommended every 10 years.
They’re especially valuable when buying or selling a home, giving peace of mind that the electrics are safe and won’t lead to unexpected repair costs.
For businesses and commercial clients
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all workplaces must ensure electrical installations are safe.
Many commercial properties in Peterborough require periodic electrical safety tests every 3–5 years, with Fixed Wire Testing often required for compliance and insurance purposes.
What does an EICR include?
Our electrical safety inspections combine both visual inspections and physical testing using specialist testing equipment.
During an EICR inspection report, our electricians will check...
-
Consumer units, fuse boards, and circuit breakers for signs of wear or overload
-
Wiring systems for insulation resistance, damage, or deterioration
-
Switches and sockets for safety hazards and overheating
-
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) to ensure they trip correctly in fault conditions
-
Bonding and earthing systems to confirm protective bonding is in place
-
Signs of electrical hazards such as scorching, loose connections, or arcing
-
Environmental factors such as damp or heat that may affect electrical installations
At the end, you’ll receive a detailed electrical condition report with clear results, coded to industry standards (C1, C2, C3, FI).
How often should I book an EICR?
-
Landlords: Every 5 years, or at each new tenancy
-
Homeowners: Every 10 years, or when selling/buying a property
-
Commercial clients: Every 3–5 years depending on the environment
-
High-risk sites (factories, swimming pools, HMOs): May require more frequent electrical safety checks
-
Special cases: After fire damage, flooding, or if you notice faults such as flickering lights, a burning smell, or tripping circuits
What happens if you fail an EICR?
If faults are found during testing, your report will include a remedial action plan.
This may involve...
-
Replacing a damaged consumer unit or upgrading to modern RCD protection
-
Carrying out electrical re-wires on unsafe circuits
-
Repairing burnt or loose sockets and switches
-
Installing protective bonding or upgrading the earthing system
-
Fixing faulty lighting, appliances, or distribution boards
We provide clear pricing for all remedial works, and once complete, issue an updated electrical safety certificate confirming compliance.
