Useful for real property decisions

If the report highlights defects, we can discuss the safest way to put them right. That saves you from chasing separate contractors just to move things along.
What an EICR tells you about your electrics
An electrical installation condition report gives you a formal picture of how safe your fixed electrics are, from the wiring behind the walls to the consumer unit and the circuits feeding the building. We carry out this work through Falconers electrical contractor Ltd when you want reassurance before or after a rewire, or when a sale or purchase is making everyone ask sensible questions. The inspection looks for wear, damage, poor alterations, and anything that no longer meets current safety expectations. On the day, we complete visual checks and electrical testing to assess circuits, protective devices, sockets, switches, and any visible fixed wiring we can safely access. The time needed depends on the size of your property, the number of circuits, and how much the installation has been altered over the years. If you're in Elgin, this kind of report can save a lot of guesswork and help you make decisions based on evidence rather than crossed fingers.
What happens after the inspection
Your report sets out observations in a structured way, so you can see what needs attention and how urgent it is. We explain the findings clearly through Falconers electrical contractor Ltd, because an EICR is a report, not a simple pass or fail sticker on the wall. Safety-critical issues should be dealt with first, while less urgent items can be planned in a sensible order. If repairs are needed, we can talk you through the practical next step, from targeted remedial work to wider upgrades where older wiring is the real problem. That makes the report useful for homeowners, landlords, and commercial premises that need proper records and a safer installation.
Frequently asked questions
What does an electrical installation condition report cover?
It covers the fixed electrical installation in a property, including wiring, circuits, the consumer unit, and accessories such as sockets and switches. We also test parts of the system to identify deterioration, damage, or potential non-compliance.
Is an EICR the same as a pass or fail certificate?
No, an EICR is a detailed condition report rather than a simple pass or fail document. It records observations, explains their severity, and helps you decide what remedial work should be prioritised.
How should I prepare for an EICR visit?
Please make sure we can access the consumer unit, sockets, switches, and any visible fixed wiring. The visit may take longer in larger or older properties, especially where there have been several previous electrical alterations.
