EICR Testing for Rental Properties in Leicester
Professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for landlords and agents across Leicester, with clear findings, remedial recommendations and digital records through MyMatrixHub®.
What Is an EICR — and Why Landlords Must Have One
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the safety of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, lights and fixed electrical systems within a rental property.
Landlords legally must ensure the electrical installation is safe, and an EICR is required:
• Every 5 years (or sooner if recommended)
• When an existing report has expired or a new inspection is otherwise required
• Earlier where the previous report recommends a shorter interval
CRS Matrix provides fast, accurate and regulation-compliant EICRs across Leicester and Leicestershire — with clear explanations and no confusing jargon.
