EICR reports, properly carried out.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for domestic and commercial properties across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London — carried out by C&G 2391-52 qualified engineers and issued with full written certification.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of the safety and condition of the electrical installation within a property. Carried out to BS 7671, it identifies any defects, deterioration or dangerous conditions — and classifies each finding so you know exactly what needs attention and how urgently.
It is a legal requirement for private landlords in England and Wales, required every five years or at every change of tenancy. It is increasingly required by insurers, mortgage lenders, managing agents and commercial tenants as a condition of lease or cover.
Hobbs Electrical Group carries out domestic and commercial EICRs across the Home Counties and London. Every inspection is carried out by a City & Guilds 2391-52 qualified engineer. Reports are issued promptly, in plain English, and are accepted by all local councils, letting agents and mortgage lenders.
Where remedial works are identified, the same team carries them out. You are not left managing a second contractor or waiting for another booking slot.

Landlords, homeowners, commercial clients.
You may need an EICR if you are any of the following. If you are unsure, call us — we are happy to advise at no charge.
A landlord — legally required every 5 years or at every change of tenancy under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
A commercial or industrial premises owner or occupier — required periodically under BS 7671 and often mandatory for insurance, lease renewals and change of use.
A business owner taking on new or existing commercial premises and needing to confirm the electrical installation is safe and compliant before occupation.
Buying or selling a property — residential or commercial — where knowledge of the electrical installation's condition is required for the transaction.
Moving into a new home and unsure of the electrical history — particularly older properties where the installation may not have been assessed for many years.
Experiencing electrical problems such as tripping breakers, flickering lights, warm sockets or unexplained power loss — all potential indicators of underlying faults.
Renovating and needing to confirm the existing installation is safe and adequate before works begin — avoiding costly discoveries mid-project.
A facilities manager responsible for maintaining electrical compliance across multiple sites and requiring a reliable, documented contractor for periodic inspection work.
What happens during an EICR?
Our engineer will carry out a thorough inspection and test of your property's electrical installation — covering the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits, earthing and bonding arrangements. The duration depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits.
At the end of the inspection you will receive a full written EICR certificate detailing the condition of your installation and classifying any items found. All reports are accepted by local councils, letting agents, insurance providers and mortgage lenders across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London.
If remedial works are required, we will talk you through exactly what is needed, why, and provide a clear quote before any work begins. There are no surprises.
