Renova's qualified electricians carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for commercial offices, retail units and managed buildings across all 33 London boroughs. Prompt turnaround, out-of-hours inspections available — and in-house remedials so you don't need a second contractor.
City of London and Canary Wharf buildings are frequently subject to insurer mandates and building management compliance reviews. We provide EICR certificates that meet the documentation requirements of most London property managers — and coordinate access procedures in advance.
Book a City inspection →Landlords and managing agents with multiple tenanted units need rolling EICR programmes. We schedule inspections around individual tenant access windows, consolidate reporting across your portfolio, and handle all C1 and C2 remedials in-house — one contractor, one programme.
Discuss your portfolio →Many London commercial buildings cannot accommodate electrical testing during business hours without disrupting occupants. We offer evening and weekend inspections across Greater London — no extra complexity, same qualified team, same prompt certificate.
Book an out-of-hours slot →An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a building — covering wiring, sockets, circuits, consumer units and earthing arrangements. For London landlords it is a legal requirement every five years. For commercial businesses it is essential for insurance compliance, health & safety obligations and due diligence. A qualified electrician tests every circuit, documents every observation, and issues a certificate confirming whether the installation is satisfactory or requires remedial work.

London landlords are legally required to hold a valid EICR for every rental property. Commercial businesses need one for health & safety compliance, insurance and regulatory due diligence.
Electrical faults are among the leading causes of commercial fires — particularly in older London stock. An EICR identifies deterioration and defects before they become a fire safety hazard.
London insurers and building managers increasingly require current EICR certificates before approving renewals or releasing deposits. A valid certificate protects against liability and satisfies most policy requirements.
A formal, traceable record for your property file — ready to present to any London insurer, building manager, regulator or incoming tenant at a moment's notice.
Legally required every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. A missing or expired EICR can trigger enforcement action or invalidate your insurance — we keep your portfolio current.
City of London and Canary Wharf buildings face specific compliance requirements from building management teams, insurers and auditors. We understand the documentation standards expected at these addresses.
Managing a portfolio across multiple London properties? We run rolling EICR programmes, coordinate with individual tenants, and provide consolidated reporting so nothing falls through the gaps.
A new tenant moving into a London property triggers a fresh EICR requirement. We book quickly to meet handover deadlines, carry out any remedials in-house, and issue the certificate before occupation.
We are CHAS accredited and regularly work with NHS trusts and public sector organisations in London. We understand specific procurement frameworks, DBS requirements and the documentation standards expected.
Many London buildings require evening or weekend electrical inspections. We schedule around your occupants, coordinate access with security teams, and complete the work without disrupting business.
When our qualified electrician completes the inspection, you receive a comprehensive report you can present with confidence to tenants, insurers, building managers and regulators.
Any observations identified during the inspection are classified by severity. Here's what each code means and what action is required — in plain English.
A C1 observation indicates a condition that presents an immediate risk of injury. Remedial works must be carried out before the installation can be used safely. Our London-based team can attend urgently to resolve C1 issues.
A C2 observation means the installation is potentially dangerous. The certificate will not be satisfactory until C2 observations are resolved. We carry out all C2 remedials in-house and re-inspect to confirm compliance.
A C3 observation does not prevent a satisfactory certificate, but it indicates the installation does not fully comply with current regulations. We can advise on prioritising improvements to bring the installation up to standard.
Our qualified electricians carry out all C1 and C2 remedial works in-house — meaning you won't need to source a separate London electrician or coordinate a second visit to achieve a satisfactory certificate.
EICR cost is driven by the number of circuits in the building — not the London postcode. We do not apply a London travel premium within Greater London. The ranges below are guides; we provide a fixed, itemised quote before any work starts.
| Property / building type | Circuits (approx) | EICR guide cost | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small London office or studio unit | Up to 10 | £150 – £300 | 2–3 hours |
| Medium commercial office (1–2 floors) | 10 – 20 | £300 – £500 | Half day |
| Large office / multi-floor building | 20 – 40 | £500 – £900 | Full day |
| Large commercial / complex installation | 40+ | £900 – £1,500+ | 1–2 days |
| PAT testing (add-on) | — | From £1.50/item | By volume |
| Emergency lighting inspection (add-on) | — | From £150 | 1–2 hours |
Tell us your building type, London postcode, approximate circuits and any access requirements (out-of-hours, security passes, building induction). We'll confirm availability and provide a fixed quote — usually same day.
Our qualified electrician attends at the agreed time — including evenings and weekends. For City or managed buildings, we coordinate access procedures with building management in advance so the visit goes smoothly.
Every circuit is tested for continuity, insulation resistance, polarity and earth fault loop impedance. All findings are recorded, classified and documented against current safety standards (BS 7671).
Your EICR certificate is issued promptly. If remedial works are required, we provide a costed schedule and carry out all C1 and C2 works in-house — one contractor, no coordination overhead, compliant certificate.
We operate across all of Greater London as standard. No extra charge for inner London, City of London or Canary Wharf. Regular slots available across most zones — we treat London as our home market, not a premium add-on.
Evening and weekend slots mean your occupants are never disrupted. Whether it's a City building that runs from 7am to 7pm or a managed block where access is restricted, we schedule around you — same team, same quality.
All inspections are carried out by fully qualified electricians with commercial experience across the London market. Every report is thorough, legally compliant and issued to a standard London building managers and insurers accept.
If the inspection identifies C1 or C2 issues, our electricians can carry out the remedial works directly — without you having to source and coordinate a separate London contractor. One call, complete service.
We work to your timeline — whether that's an upcoming insurer renewal, an incoming tenant, or a building management audit. Contact us to confirm availability and we'll get you booked in as quickly as possible.
CHAS accreditation satisfies the health & safety pre-qualification requirements of most London facilities managers, NHS procurement teams and corporate property managers — no extra vetting process needed.
