What Is an EICR & Who Legally Needs One?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a property — consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings, and earth bonding — carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671 18th Edition standards.
Since 1 April 2021, every private rental property in England has been legally required to hold a valid EICR no more than 5 years old. Failure to provide one to tenants and the local authority on request carries fines of up to £30,000 per offence under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
MAMOSS provides EICR inspections across Bethnal Green and East London — fixed-price, same-week certificates, with all tests carried out to NICEIC standards. We give you a clear pass/fail outcome, an itemised quote for any remedial work needed, and the certificate emailed within 48 hours of testing.

What Happens Without a Valid EICR?
The legal, financial and safety consequences of operating a rental property without a current EICR are severe — and have been actively enforced by London councils since 2021:
£30,000 Fine Per Property
Local councils can fine landlords up to £30,000 per breach. Multiple properties = multiple fines. Repeat breaches escalate enforcement, including banning orders.
Tenant Right to Withhold Rent
Tenants who request an EICR and are not provided one within 28 days can report to the council and may have grounds to withhold rent until provided.
Voided Insurance Claims
Most landlord insurance policies require a valid EICR. A fire or electrical incident in a property without one will likely result in the entire claim being refused.
Section 21 Eviction Blocked
You cannot serve a valid Section 21 (no-fault eviction) notice on a property without a current EICR. The notice will be ruled invalid and the eviction halted.
Real Safety Risk
EICRs catch real dangers: missing earth bonding, no RCD protection on socket circuits, deteriorated wiring, overloaded consumer units. These cause fires and shocks every year in the UK.
Selling Becomes Difficult
Buyer solicitors increasingly request a current EICR as part of conveyancing. No certificate often means a price reduction or sale collapse — particularly for buy-to-let purchases.
Our Process
What Happens During a MAMOSS EICR
Pre-Inspection Walkthrough
We arrive on time, walk through the property with you (or the tenant), confirm the scope (number of circuits, accessible socket count) and explain what we are about to do. The mains supply will be off for short periods during testing.
Visual Inspection
Detailed visual inspection of the consumer unit, all accessible sockets, switches, light fittings, earth bonding to gas/water services, and the meter tails. We document any visible defects, damage or non-compliances.
Dead Testing
With the supply isolated, we test continuity of all circuits, polarity, insulation resistance (1000V megger test) and earth integrity. These are the tests that catch hidden wiring defects.
Live Testing
With the supply restored, we test earth fault loop impedance, RCD trip times (both at half and full residual current), and prospective short-circuit current at the consumer unit.
Coding & Documentation
Every observation is coded C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potentially dangerous — fail), C3 (improvement recommended — pass) or FI (further investigation required). Anything C1 or C2 must be remediated before a Satisfactory certificate can be issued.
Certificate Issued
Your EICR certificate is issued digitally within 48 hours, with a separate quotation for any remedial work. We can usually carry out C1/C2 remedials the same day or within the same week and re-issue a Satisfactory certificate immediately.
Why Choose MAMOSS for Your EICR
Fixed-Price Quotation
Our prices are fixed before we start. No surprise extras for 'extra circuits found' or 'consumer unit access charges'. What we quote is what you pay.
Same-Week Availability
We can usually inspect within 2-3 working days. Urgent jobs (court hearings, sale completions) accommodated where possible — same-day or next-day service available.
Plain-English Reports
Our reports include a clear summary of what each code means and which items legally require remediation versus those that are recommendations only — so you can make informed decisions about cost.
Same-Day Remedials
Where remedial work is straightforward (RCBO upgrade, missing earth bonding, faulty sockets), we can usually fix it on the same visit and re-test the affected circuits — issuing a Satisfactory certificate within hours instead of weeks.
Multi-Property Discounts
Landlords with portfolios get discounted rates. We coordinate tenant access across multiple properties and issue all certificates electronically for easy record-keeping.
Insurance-Grade Certification
Our certificates are formatted to NICEIC standards and accepted by every UK landlord insurance provider, mortgage lender and local authority.
EICR in Detail: Codes, Costs & Common Findings
An EICR is graded with one of two outcomes: 'Satisfactory' (the installation is safe to remain in service) or 'Unsatisfactory' (the installation contains observations that must be remediated before it can be deemed safe). The outcome is determined entirely by the codes assigned to individual observations.
C1 (Danger present, risk of injury) requires immediate action — the inspecting electrician will normally make safe before leaving the property. C2 (Potentially dangerous) requires remediation but is not an immediate emergency. C3 (Improvement recommended) does not cause an unsatisfactory outcome — it is purely advisory. FI (Further investigation required) means the inspector cannot confirm safety without additional testing.
Common findings in older London properties include: missing or undersized earth bonding to gas and water services (very common in pre-2008 installations), no RCD protection on socket circuits (any installation predating 2008 typically lacks this), absence of bonding in bathrooms, and consumer units with no main switch.
Remedial costs vary wildly. A missing earth bond is a £45 fix. A consumer unit upgrade is £450-£800. A full rewire is £4,000-£8,000+ for a 2-bed flat. We will always quote remedials separately and clearly so you can decide what to do — and many landlords stage remediation work over time, with a temporary EICR re-issued after each phase.
We also provide combined EICR + PAT testing packages for furnished rentals and HMO properties, where portable appliance testing is also required. Get both done in a single visit and save 20% on the combined fee.
- 1-bed flat EICR from £120
- 2-3 bed flat EICR from £150
- 3-4 bed house EICR from £180
- HMO EICR (per unit) from £100
- EICR + PAT combined package — save 20%
- Multi-property landlord rates available
- Same-day remedial work where possible
- Re-issued Satisfactory certificate after remedials at no extra cost
