Electrical safety is a legal and moral responsibility for every property owner and landlord in Haringey. At RCD Electrical, we specialise in Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), ensuring that homes, flats, and commercial premises across the borough are safe, compliant, and properly maintained.
What is an EICR Certificate?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal document issued by a qualified electrician after an in-depth assessment of your property's electrical systems. It evaluates the condition of wiring, circuits, fuse boards, sockets, switches, and other fixed installations, identifying any risks, damage, or wear that could lead to electric shock or fire.
RCD Electrical’s registered electricians are fully equipped to carry out detailed inspections in line with the British Standard BS 7671. We issue a professional report outlining the state of the installation and highlighting any urgent or recommended remedial work.
Do I Need an EICR in Haringey?
If you’re a landlord, you are legally required to have an up-to-date EICR every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. This applies to all privately rented homes in England, including those in Haringey. Failure to comply may result in hefty fines or invalidated insurance.
For homeowners, while not legally required, it is highly recommended to have an EICR conducted every 10 years. It’s also crucial before buying or selling a property, after significant renovations, or if you suspect your wiring may be outdated.
Businesses and public buildings such as schools, care homes, or offices in Haringey must also comply with regular inspection schedules to meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
What Happens During an EICR Inspection?
RCD Electrical’s NICEIC-certified electricians perform a thorough, non-intrusive visual and physical assessment. This includes:
-
Testing the safety of all circuits
-
Checking for electrical faults or signs of overheating
-
Identifying overloaded systems or potential fire hazards
-
Noting any non-compliance with current regulations
Following the inspection, you’ll receive a classification:
-
C1 – Danger present: Immediate remedial work required.
-
C2 – Potentially dangerous: Urgent attention needed.
-
C3 – Improvement recommended: Not an immediate risk but should be addressed.
