An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is now a legal requirement for private landlords across England and essential for any homeowner, business or property transaction. GR Elite Electric carries out EICR testing throughout Birmingham, Small Heath, Bordesley Green and the whole of the West Midlands — with reports issued on the day.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of the safety and condition of the electrical installation within a property. Since July 2020, all private landlords in England have been legally required to have an EICR carried out every five years, with the report made available to tenants and local councils on request.
Beyond legal compliance, an EICR gives homeowners and businesses in Birmingham peace of mind that their electrical installation is safe and operating correctly. Properties in Small Heath, Bordesley Green, Sparkbrook and similar areas often have ageing wiring that may present risks not visible to the naked eye — a thorough inspection by a qualified GR Elite Electric engineer can identify these before they cause problems.
Our EICR inspectors are fully qualified and experienced in assessing all types of property across Birmingham and the West Midlands. We provide clear, plain-English reports with each observation classified as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation required).
Immediate risk of electric shock or fire. Immediate remedial action required before the installation is used.
A potential risk of injury present. Urgent remedial work required to bring the installation to a safe state.
Not immediately dangerous, but improvement would benefit safety. Does not make the EICR unsatisfactory on its own.
Cannot be assessed without further investigation, which may uncover C1 or C2 issues. Must be investigated promptly.
