EICR in Sussex
Certified electrical installation condition reports for homes, landlords and businesses
At CDS Electrical, we provide reliable and fully certified EICR services across East and West Sussex, including Eastbourne, Brighton, Worthing, Crawley, Hastings, Uckfield and surrounding areas.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed assessment of your property’s fixed electrical systems, carried out by a qualified electrician. Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner or business owner, a valid EICR helps ensure your electrics are safe, up to standard and legally compliant.
What Is an EICR?
An EICR is a formal document produced after an in-depth inspection and fixed wire testing of your property’s electrical installations. It identifies any faults, deterioration, or non-compliance with current safety regulations (BS 7671), and recommends any required remedial work.
Having a valid EICR in place is often a legal obligation and always a smart safety measure.
Who Needs an EICR?
Landlords
Under current UK legislation, landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR carried out at least every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. This ensures the property is safe and meets the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Homeowners
Whether you're concerned about the safety of your property or preparing to sell your home, an up-to-date EICR provides peace of mind for you and potential buyers. It can even speed up the sale process by proving the integrity of your electrics.
Businesses
All commercial premises have a duty of care to staff and visitors under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Regular EICR inspections are essential for compliance, insurance purposes and to reduce the risk of electrical hazards in the workplace.
