TES Compliance carries out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, property managers and businesses in Guildford and across Surrey. Our NICEIC-approved engineers inspect fixed wiring installations and produce certified reports that satisfy landlord licensing, insurance and regulatory requirements.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of the fixed wiring within a building. It covers the consumer unit, distribution boards, wiring circuits, earthing and bonding arrangements, sockets, switches and lighting circuits. It does not cover portable appliances; that is addressed separately through electrical equipment testing. The purpose of the EICR is to assess whether the fixed installation is safe, identify any deterioration or non-compliance with current standards, and produce a certified report with any defects classified according to the code system set out in the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). A qualified TES Compliance engineer carries out a visual inspection of all accessible parts of the installation, followed by dead testing of circuits where the supply can be safely isolated and live testing where it cannot. Every observation is coded: C1 represents an immediate danger, C2 is potentially dangerous and requires remedial action, C3 is a recommendation. The completed report states whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use and lists all observations clearly for your records. Guildford is one of Surrey’s largest commercial centres, with a significant concentration of office buildings, retail premises and residential lettings across the town and surrounding areas including Woking and Camberley. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders are legally responsible for maintaining electrical systems in a safe condition. For residential landlords in Surrey, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require a valid EICR before any new tenancy begins and at least every five years thereafter. For commercial properties the maximum recommended interval is also five years, though insurers and lease agreements often stipulate more frequent testing.
TES Compliance is based in Crawley, giving our engineers straightforward access across Surrey. We cover Guildford, Woking, Camberley and surrounding towns, scheduling inspections efficiently and meeting certificate deadlines that matter to landlords and property managers.
Every EICR is completed to BS 7671 standards by a NICEIC-approved engineer and issued digitally. Your certificate is accepted by letting agents, local authority licensing schemes, insurers and solicitors throughout Guildford and the wider county.
If the inspection identifies C1 or C2 coded defects, our engineers can carry out remedial work directly. You do not need to source a separate contractor before the installation can be re-certified, keeping the process straightforward and on schedule.
Surrey has one of the most active private rental markets outside London, with significant demand for residential lettings across Guildford, Woking, Camberley and the surrounding commuter towns. Landlords in these areas are legally required to hold a valid EICR before any new tenancy begins and to renew it at least every five years. Where the inspection identifies C1 or C2 defects, remedial work must be completed within 28 days. TES Compliance provides EICR certificates that meet these requirements and can carry out any necessary remedial work in-house to avoid delays.
For commercial property managers in Guildford and across Surrey, the requirement applies equally. Office buildings, retail premises, industrial units and mixed-use developments all need periodic EICR inspections. TES Compliance has experience of working in occupied commercial buildings, planning circuit isolation around business hours and producing reports that give facilities managers the documentation they need. We have carried out compliance programmes for businesses across the region, and our engineers are familiar with the range of property types found across Surrey, from Victorian town centre buildings to modern business park developments.
Many Surrey clients also combine their EICR with electrical equipment testing to address both the fixed installation and portable appliances in a single compliance programme. For clients with properties that extend into the capital, we also carry out EICR in London and cover EICR in Sussex for those with county-wide portfolios.

They carried out a massive testing job for us on a very active, complex building. It’s hard to find people who are willing to tackle the big technical stuff but still happy to help out with the smaller bits too. The engineers are great and continue to support us with our compliance and installations. 10/10.
The team at TES were great in arranging, managing and performing PAT and EICR reports that was urgently required. I would highly recommend them for their prompt and efficient service

For residential lettings, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require a valid EICR at least every five years or at the start of each new tenancy. For commercial properties the maximum recommended interval is five years, though many insurers and lease agreements require more frequent inspections depending on the nature of the occupancy. TES Compliance will advise on an appropriate schedule based on the condition of your installation and how it is used.
Yes. Most EICR inspections are carried out in occupied premises. Dead testing requires circuits to be isolated for a period, which we schedule in advance with you and your tenants to minimise disruption. For commercial premises across Guildford and Surrey we are experienced at planning inspections around business hours. For residential properties we arrange access directly with tenants and keep any periods without power as brief as possible. Contact us via our book a visit page to arrange a suitable time.
