Keeping your electrical installation in safe working order is not just common sense – it’s a legal requirement for many property owners in Barnet. At RCD Electrical, we specialise in Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), offering trusted, fully certified inspections that ensure your property remains safe, functional, and compliant with the latest UK standards.
Whether you're a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, an EICR from RCD Electrical provides clear insight into the condition of your electrical systems – identifying risks, highlighting non-compliance, and offering peace of mind.
Why Are EICR Reports Necessary?
Electrical systems deteriorate over time, especially in older homes or buildings with frequent usage. An EICR serves to assess whether your existing installation is safe and meets current standards under the BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
For landlords in Barnet, it’s a legal duty to obtain an EICR every 5 years or at each change of tenancy. Failure to do so may result in fines or, worse, put tenants at risk. Homeowners, while not legally obligated, are strongly encouraged to obtain an EICR at least every 10 years, or sooner if issues arise.
What Does an EICR Involve?
When you book your EICR inspection with RCD Electrical, one of our fully qualified NICEIC electricians will:
-
Visually inspect the condition of the electrical system
-
Test circuits and components using specialist equipment
-
Identify deterioration, faults or non-compliance
-
Grade findings with clear coding:
-
C1: Danger present – immediate action required
-
C2: Potentially dangerous – urgent attention needed
-
C3: Improvement recommended

We provide transparent, honest feedback with no hidden agenda – just safety and compliance.
