An EICR — short for Electrical Installation Condition Report — is basically an MOT for your home’s wiring. We check the fuse board, test every circuit, and write up whether everything’s safe. It’s the single most useful hour or two you’ll ever spend on your electrics.
Landlords have to have one every five years by law. For homeowners it’s optional, but a lot of people book one when they buy, sell, or finish a renovation — and most of the time it’s a quiet relief when we tell them everything’s fine. We do them across Watford, Bushey, Rickmansworth, Harrow and into north-west London every week.

Timeline & pricing
A one-bed flat in Watford sits around £149. A three-bed semi with up to 15 circuits is typically £180–£220, and a larger four/five-bed or HMO lands between £240 and £320. Landlords with three or more properties get a portfolio rate. We never quote a range and then find “extras” on the day — the figure you’re given is the figure you pay.
Certified properly
Every certificate is signed by an NICEIC-registered engineer to the current regulations (BS 7671, 18th Edition) — that’s the standard every honest electrician works to. If you’re a landlord, it also covers everything you need under the 2020 rental-sector rules — five-year renewal, 28-day deadline for any remedials, and the £30,000 fine you want to avoid.
