EICR BROMLEY

Electrical Safety Made Simple

At Novon Group, we make electrical safety simple. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out thorough checks across Bromley, from the period homes of Bickley and Chislehurst to newer developments in Beckenham, Petts Wood, and West Wickham.

We spot faults, wear, and potential dangers early, keeping your property safe and in compliance with the rules. Whether you’re a landlord or a homeowner.

Who actually needs an EICR? And how often?

Who Needs an EICR in Bromley?

EICRs aren’t just for landlords; they’re for anyone who wants peace of mind their electrics are safe and up to standard.

Homeowners often arrange one for peace of mind or before selling a property. We recommend an inspection every 10 years for an occupied home, or whenever there is a change of ownership.

For landlords, the rules are stricter. By law, a valid EICR is required every five years or at the start of each new tenancy. An essential step to meet safety rules and avoid costly fines.

Businesses in Bromley, from shops in Shortlands to offices in Orpington, also rely on EICRs for workplace safety and insurance rules.

Whatever type of property you have, an electrical inspection keeps people protected and systems working as they should.

Here’s what to expect during an EICR…

What Happens During an EICR?

When you book an EICR with Novon Group, one of our certified Electricians will visit your property and carry out a full check of the electrical system.

We start with a visual check, looking for obvious signs of wear, damage, or outdated parts.

Next, we perform a series of detailed tests using testing tools. This includes measuring insulation strength, wiring flow, and direction. As well as testing the safety features built into your fuse box — such as RCDs, MCBs, and RCBOs.

We make sure everything works correctly and safety devices will protect you if a fault happens.

Every finding is written down. Once testing is complete, you’ll receive a full report explaining the results in plain English…

Understanding Your EICR Report

EICRs use a simple coding system to describe the condition of your electrical system.

• A “C1” code means danger is present and immediate action is required.
• A “C2” indicates a potentially dangerous issue which needs attention.
• A “C3” is a recommendation for improvement. Your system is safe, but could be brought up to modern standards.

If Your Property Doesn’t Pass

If your report contains a C1 or C2 note, don’t worry. Our engineers will explain precisely what it means, show you where the problem lies, and guide you through the fix.

It’s common for properties to need small improvements after an EICR, especially older homes in Bromley, Beckenham, or Petts Wood.

If your wiring doesn’t pass immediately, there’s no need to stress. We’ll go through the report with you, explain the findings, and give you a clear price for any repairs or upgrades.

Once the work is complete, we’ll retest and issue a certificate confirming your system meets all current safety standards.

All these checks and codes might sound technical, but they are of the utmost importance…

Why EICRs Matter

Ignoring electrical safety checks leads to serious risks.

For landlords, the penalties for not following the law reach £30,000.

Insurers may also refuse to pay out if an electrical fault causes damage and there’s no valid EICR in place.

Beyond the money side, there’s a more important reason: safety.

Faulty wiring is a main cause of home fires in the UK, and even a minor issue can pose hidden dangers.

Regular checks significantly lower those risks, protecting your home, your tenants, and your loved ones.

Your Questions Answered

Many Bromley landlords and homeowners ask how long an EICR takes. Typically, it’s between two and four hours, depending on the size of the property and the condition of the wiring.

During testing, we’ll need to switch off power briefly to check circuits safely, but we’ll keep interruptions to a minimum.

You’ll receive your full report electronically or in print, whichever you prefer. And if any action is needed, we’ll quote the work transparently before starting.
