“Fantastic service from Innes. Hired to fit a new extractor fan in the bathroom. He walked me through the options available and what he would recommend. On the install day he arrived on time and did a very professional install in the loft.”

Common Questions

Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 and subsequent regulations, all private rental properties in Edinburgh must have a valid EICR carried out at intervals of no more than 5 years, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. The report must be carried out by a competent person and a copy provided to tenants.

An EICR isn't a pass/fail — it uses coded observations: C1 (immediate danger), C2 (potentially dangerous) and C3 (improvement recommended). C1 and C2 codes mean the installation is unsatisfactory and remedial work is required before the report can be classed as satisfactory. We carry out all remedial work across Edinburgh and retest as required.

For a standard 2–3 bedroom Edinburgh flat, an EICR typically takes 2–4 hours. Larger properties, HMOs or properties with complex installations take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when booking based on your property type.

You are not legally required to provide an EICR when selling, but many Edinburgh buyers and their solicitors now request one as part of the purchase process. A current satisfactory EICR is a significant selling point and can prevent delays caused by buyers requesting their own survey.

Some Edinburgh mortgage lenders and insurers require a current satisfactory EICR, particularly for older properties or rental purchases. We issue EICR reports accepted by all major lenders and can turn them around quickly to keep your Edinburgh property transaction on track.

An EICR involves physical testing of every circuit using calibrated instruments — insulation resistance testing, earth loop impedance testing, RCD testing and continuity testing. A visual-only inspection simply looks at accessible components without testing. Only a full EICR with testing is legally valid for Edinburgh landlord compliance.
