What Is Fixed Wire Testing?
Fixed Wire Testing is also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR.
It is a detailed check of the fixed electrical system in your building. This includes circuits, distribution boards, switchgear, sockets and earthing.
We confirm your installation is safe, compliant with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and fit for continued use.
What Happens During An EICR?
We keep the process structured and easy to follow.
First, we carry out a visual inspection to look for signs of damage, overheating or poor workmanship.
Next, we complete electrical testing such as insulation resistance, polarity and earthing checks to assess the condition of the wiring.
You then receive a clear report with simple classifications:
- C1 – Immediate danger
- C2 – Potential danger
- C3 – Improvement recommended
- FI – Further investigation required
We follow up with a call so you understand exactly what the report means and what action is required. You will never be left trying to decode technical language on your own.
Remedial Work After Testing
If issues are found, we can carry out remedial work quickly and professionally.
Common fixes include replacing damaged wiring, upgrading old consumer units, improving bonding or correcting overloaded circuits.
We provide a clear breakdown of priorities and costs. Once work is completed, we update your records so you remain compliant and inspection ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, EICR is the same as fixed wire testing. Fixed wire testing is the process. EICR is the official report produced after that inspection and testing is completed. It covers the fixed wiring in the building, including circuits, distribution boards and connected accessories.
Yes, a landlord can be fined for not having an EICR. If you cannot provide a valid report, you are not compliant. That opens the door to penalties and enforcement action. Staying inspection ready protects both you and your tenants.
EICR is usually every 5 years.
Rented residential properties require testing every 5 years by law.
Commercial and industrial properties are generally tested every 5 years.
Owner occupied homes are typically advised every 10 years unless stated otherwise in the previous report.
An EICR will fail if it contains C1 or C2 classifications.
C1 means immediate danger and requires urgent action.
C2 means potential danger and must be addressed as soon as possible.
Until those issues are fixed, the installation is not considered satisfactory.
