Why Choose OR Electrics?
We understand that inviting a tradesperson into your property requires trust. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality workmanship, ensuring every aspect of our service meets rigorous standards.
At OR Electrics, I don't treat an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) as just a tick-box exercise to satisfy the council. It is a critical health check for your property's wiring. Being an experienced Electrician in Leeds, I know the local housing stock inside out—from student HMOs in Headingley to the Victorian terraces in Armley. These older properties often hide degraded rubber cabling or outdated consumer units that lack modern RCD protection. I inspect your property strictly against the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). My goal is simple: ensure your tenants are safe from fire and shock risks. If I find faults, I won't just throw technical jargon at you; I will explain clearly what the C1 (Danger Present) or C2 (Potentially Dangerous) coding means and exactly what is needed to fix it. I provide honest, straight-talking advice to ensure you meet your legal obligations without unnecessary expense.

How often do I need an EICR for my rental property in Leeds?
By law, private landlords must have the electrical installation tested every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. If you run a student HMO, your licensing requirements might be even stricter. It's about keeping people safe, not just following rules.
What happens if my property gets an 'Unsatisfactory' result?
Don't panic. Providing an 'Unsatisfactory' report means we found something that could hurt someone. I'll categorize the faults (C1, C2, or FI) and give you a clear quote to fix them. You have 28 days to get the remedial work done to become compliant.
Do you need to lift floorboards or damage walls during the inspection?
Rarely. An EICR is mostly testing at the sockets, switches, and consumer unit. However, if I find a serious fault on a circuit in an older Leeds terrace, I might need to investigate further, but I'll always discuss it with you before causing any disruption.
How long does an EICR take?
For a standard 2-3 bed house, expect it to take around 3-4 hours. If someone quotes you for 30 minutes, they aren't doing the job properly. Proper testing takes time.
