EICR FAQs

Quick answers to common questions

What does an EICR cover?

The fixed electrical installation: the wiring, consumer unit and fixed electrical fittings. It does not replace PAT testing of plug-in appliances.

What happens on the visit?

A qualified professional inspects and tests the installation, then writes up the findings in the report.

Is an EICR the same as a PAT test?

No. An EICR covers the fixed wiring. A PAT test covers plug-in appliances.

How do I book an EICR?

Choose it online, check the price, and pick a time. Nobody visits just to give you a quote.

Do I need to be at the property?

Someone needs to provide access for the visit. That can be you, or someone else at the property.

How do I receive the result?

After the visit, it is sent to you digitally.

Can I book more than one property?

Yes. Each visit is booked online. If you look after a portfolio, start with Certworks for Business.

Can I book this with another certificate?

Yes. Book each certificate online. They can be for the same property.
