TES Compliance carries out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for commercial landlords, property managers and businesses across London. Our NICEIC-approved engineers inspect fixed wiring installations throughout the capital 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. The cost of an EICR in London depends on the number of circuits in the property, the age and condition of the installation, and the type of building. TES Compliance charges from £7 per circuit. A straightforward one-bedroom flat typically has fewer circuits than a large commercial premises or a multi-floor office building, so the total will vary. We provide free quotes based on your specific property before any work is booked. Get in touch with your address and property type and we will come back to you with a clear, itemised price. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders are legally responsible for maintaining electrical systems in a safe condition. For residential landlords in London, 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 headquartered in Crawley, giving our engineers fast, reliable access across all London boroughs. Whether your property is in north London, east London or Central London, we schedule efficiently and meet certificate deadlines.
Every report is completed to BS 7671 standards by a NICEIC-approved engineer and issued digitally. Your EICR certificate is accepted by letting agents, local authority licensing schemes, insurers and solicitors across London.
If the inspection identifies C1 or C2 coded defects, our engineers can carry out remedial work directly. This keeps the process straightforward and avoids delays before a satisfactory certificate is issued.
London’s private rental sector is one of the most tightly regulated in the country. Landlords operating across the capital face mandatory licensing schemes, selective licensing requirements and council inspections that all require a current, satisfactory EICR to be in place. In boroughs such as Newham, Southwark, Hackney and Waltham Forest, where additional or selective licensing is in operation, an out-of-date or unsatisfactory report can result in fines or an inability to let the property legally. TES Compliance provides EICR certificates that meet the requirements of these schemes and can turn around reports and any required remedial work efficiently.
For commercial property managers in London, the challenge is often one of scale and scheduling. Office buildings in the City and Canary Wharf, retail units across Central London, and mixed-use developments in areas such as Stratford, Brixton and Tottenham all require periodic EICR inspections. TES Compliance has experience of working in complex, occupied commercial buildings, planning circuit isolation around business hours and producing reports that give facilities teams the documentation they need. We have worked at prestigious London properties including Claridge’s and The Connaught and the Bvlgari Hotel, and have carried out compliance programmes at The Shard where working within a live, multi-tenanted environment required careful coordination.
For property managers with portfolios spanning north London, east London and central areas, we plan inspection programmes across multiple sites rather than treating each property as a standalone job. Many London clients also combine their EICR with electrical equipment testing to address both the fixed installation and portable appliances in a single compliance programme. If your portfolio also includes properties outside the capital, we carry out EICR in Sussex and EICR in Surrey for clients who need county-wide coverage.

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
The requirement for a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report applies across the full range of residential and commercial property in London. TES Compliance carries out EICR inspections for private landlords with residential lets across all London boroughs, HMOs subject to mandatory or additional licensing, purpose-built student accommodation and co-living developments, commercial office buildings across the City, Canary Wharf, Victoria and the West End, retail and hospitality premises throughout Central London and the inner boroughs, care homes and healthcare facilities across north and east London, and schools and educational buildings across the capital. We have carried out work for well-known names across the hospitality and commercial sectors. You can see examples on our projects page, including work at Claridge’s and The Connaught, the Bvlgari Hotel and County Hall. For landlords and businesses that also need PAT testing in London, we can combine both services to cover your full compliance requirements in a single programme. If your properties extend beyond London, we also cover EICR in Sussex and EICR in Surrey.
TES Compliance charges from £7 per circuit for EICR inspections in London. The total cost depends on the number of circuits in your property, the age and condition of the installation, and the type of building. A small flat with a modern consumer unit will have fewer circuits than a large commercial premises or an older Victorian conversion. We provide free quotes based on your specific address and property type before any work is booked. Get in touch and we will come back to you with a clear price.
The time required depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits being tested. A straightforward flat can often be completed in a few hours. A large commercial building or a property with an extensive or ageing installation will take longer. We will give you a realistic indication when we provide your free quote, so you can plan access and minimise disruption to occupiers. Contact us via our book a visit page to get started.
Yes. TES Compliance carries out EICR inspections across all London boroughs, including north London areas such as Islington, Haringey, Barnet and Camden, and east London boroughs including Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. For landlords with properties spread across different parts of the capital we can plan a programme covering multiple sites efficiently. We also cover EICR in Sussex and EICR in Surrey for clients with properties outside London.
Any defects found are coded in the report. A C1 observation means there is an immediate danger that must be addressed before the installation can be used safely. A C2 observation is potentially dangerous and requires remedial work, within 28 days for residential properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. A C3 observation is a recommendation rather than a requirement. TES Compliance can carry out all remedial electrical work in-house, which means you do not need to find a separate contractor before the installation can be re-tested and a satisfactory certificate issued.
