All landlords are legally required to carry out an electrical safety inspection every 5 years – are you up to date with your EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is like an MOT for the electrical system of your property. The law was changed back in 2020 for new tenancies and in 2021 it was applied to existing tenancies. We’re accredited and qualified to help you stay compliant and up to date with your EICR.
A detailed assessment of your electrical system to ensure safety & compliance
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of a property’s electrical system, conducted by a qualified electrician to ensure safety, compliance, and proper functioning.
It is a vital document for landlords, homeowners, and business owners, providing an official record of the condition of the electrical installation and highlighting any issues that need attention. It can also be very useful pre-purchase to assess the condition of a property you’re intending to buy.
Peregrine Electrical can provide this for you across Bristol and in the surrounding areas. We’ll bring our reliable, professional manner and can also provide a quote to fix any issues identified while carrying out the EICR.

What happens when we carry out an EICR?
The report begins with information about the installation, including the age of the wiring, previous inspection dates, and any alterations or additions made to the system.
It also specifies the reason for the inspection, such as periodic checks or change of occupancy.
We perform a thorough visual inspection and tests on accessible parts of the electrical system, including consumer units, wiring, switches, sockets, and other accessories. Any limitations of potential testing are agreed upon beforehand.
