EICR · Scotland
An EICR is the report your insurer, your letting agent, your building warrant surveyor, or the buyer's solicitor is going to ask for. We do them across the north of Scotland — Tain to Thurso, Ullapool to Aviemore — and carry out inspection and testing in accordance with BS 7671, with an Electrical Installation Condition Report provided.
Based in Tain, serving Ross-shire, Inverness and the wider Highlands.
How we price EICRs
Every property is different. Number of circuits, age of the board, how many outbuildings, whether it's an old cottage with mixed cabling or a modern build with everything labelled — it all changes the time on site.
Ring us with the basics (rough size, number of boards, town) and we'll give you a price for the agreed scope on the phone, including any travel costs. That price stays fixed unless we open something up and find work nobody could see — in which case we stop, ring you, and only carry on when you're happy with the plan.
Reports and certificates are provided for the work carried out. Ring Kelvin on 07954 350 931.
What you get
We carry out electrical inspection and testing in accordance with BS 7671 and provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report. If the EICR is unsatisfactory, we’ll discuss the findings with you, explain the recommended remedial work and provide a quotation where required.
Different properties, different rules:
Increasingly, Scottish solicitors are asking for an in-date EICR as part of the missives. If you don't have one, it can hold up a settlement — sometimes for weeks while you find a sparks who can fit you in. If you know you're selling in the next 12 months, get the EICR done early. If it comes back with C2s, you've got time to sort them without a chain of buyers breathing down your neck.
Common questions
Small flat: 2-3 hours. Standard 3-bed house: 3-5 hours. Larger house or holiday let with lots of outbuildings: a full day. We'll turn most of the circuits off for parts of it, so it's worth planning the day around it (or handing over the keys if it's an empty STL between changeovers).
Not the whole time. Individual circuits get isolated as we test them, so kettles and hairdryers may go off for a few minutes at a time. If you're working from home we'll let you know before we kill anything critical.

Yes — Ross-shire, Sutherland, Caithness, Wester Ross, Inverness, and the whole NC500 route. Skye and Lochalsh included. If it's a long drive we might add a small mileage line, but it's always shown before the job — never sprung on you.
Yes. Give them our details or send us their portal login and we'll upload the cert straight into whichever platform they use.
