At RCD Electrical, we provide fully certified EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) and PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) services across Barnet and surrounding areas. With decades of experience, we help homeowners, landlords, and businesses maintain compliance and keep their properties safe.
What Is an EICR?
An EICR assesses the safety and condition of your property’s fixed electrical installations – including sockets, lights, fuse boxes, and wiring systems. The report determines whether the installation is safe for continued use and highlights any urgent repairs or improvements.
An EICR is required:
-
Every 5 years for rented properties
-
Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
-
Before the sale or purchase of a property
-
For businesses, to meet insurance and legal obligations
RCD Electrical is fully NICEIC-approved to carry out EICR inspections. We issue clear, accurate reports with codes (C1, C2, C3) to indicate the severity of any issues found.

All tested items are labelled with a pass/fail sticker and a unique ID, and a full report is provided.
