What an EICR Covers
A thorough inspection and test of all fixed electrical wiring and installations in the property.
Visual Inspection
Every accessible part of the fixed wiring is visually inspected for damage, deterioration, defects, and non-compliance with current regulations.
Circuit Testing
Every circuit is tested for earth fault loop impedance, insulation resistance, RCD operation, and correct polarity, verifying safe and compliant performance.
Consumer Unit Check
The consumer unit (fuse board) is inspected for correct protection devices, labelling, condition, and compliance with BS7671 18th Edition requirements.
Coded Observations
Any defects are recorded with observation codes, C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required).

Landlord EICR in Rochester: local property context
Rochester is the historic heart of the Medway towns, with a population of around 28,000 in the parish and a renowned cathedral and castle quarter. The town has tight conservation areas around the High Street, Georgian and Victorian housing across much of the older fabric, and modern development at St Mary's Island and along the riverside.
Rochester's rental sector mixes Georgian and Victorian period housing in the conservation area with post-war and modern estates further out. Period properties often have multiple historic rewires layered on original wiring runs, EICRs commonly identify mixed cable types, undersized bonding, and consumer units predating the 17th Edition.
Listed-property EICRs in Rochester sometimes need surface-mounted remedial work to avoid disturbing original plaster and panelling. We've done many of these and can usually find a compliant solution that satisfies the listed building consent regime.
