Who needs one

Three reasons people book an EICR in Leeds.

The report is the same thorough inspection each time. What changes is why you need it — and what you do with the result.

Landlords

Rented property testing

In England, fixed electrical installations in privately rented homes generally need inspecting and testing at least every five years, and at a new tenancy if the report has expired. A satisfactory report is normally shared with tenants, and with the local authority on request.

  • Single properties or whole portfolios
  • Renewal dates tracked, one point of contact
Home buyers & sellers

Pre-purchase peace of mind

A mortgage valuation doesn't open the consumer unit. An EICR tells you the real condition of the wiring before you exchange — with coded, costed findings you can use to negotiate.

  • Photographed evidence of defects
  • Costed remedial quotes to negotiate with
Business & commercial

Workplace compliance

Shops, offices and industrial units need their installations maintained in a safe condition. MPS carries out commercial EICRs, along with emergency lighting and fire alarm testing.

  • Testing scheduled around trading hours
  • Facilities maintenance from the same firm
What's tested

What an MPS EICR actually checks.

This is an inspection and test, not a walk-round with a clipboard. Circuits are tested with calibrated instruments and results are recorded.

Consumer unit

Condition, protective devices, labelling and suitability of the board itself.

Circuit testing

Continuity, insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance on the circuits.

RCD operation

Trip-testing RCDs to confirm they disconnect within the required time.

Earthing & bonding

The arrangements that protect people when a fault happens.

Accessories & wiring

Sockets, switches and visible wiring — damage, wear, overheating and poor alterations.

Overloading & DIY

Overloaded circuits and problematic DIY work, a common find in older Leeds homes.

The result

Satisfactory or unsatisfactory — then what?

Satisfactory

You're done.

You receive the report with the full schedule of test results. Landlords get the copy they normally share with tenants. File it, diary the next due date, and forget about it.

Any C3 observations are listed as recommendations — worth doing, not required for the pass.

Unsatisfactory

We fix it and re-certify.

C1 and C2 findings generally mean remedial work is needed. MPS quotes the work at a fixed price, completes it, and issues the paperwork confirming the installation is now satisfactory.

No second contractor, no starting again — the Inspector who found the problems is the firm that fixes them.

Proof

Questions

EICR questions, answered straight.

How often does a rental property need an EICR?

In England, generally at least every five years for the fixed installation, and at a new tenancy if the current report has run out. Rules can change, so it's worth confirming current requirements — we can point you in the right direction when you book.

How long does an EICR take?

Most homes take a few hours, depending on size and the number of circuits. Larger or commercial properties take longer. We'll give you a realistic estimate when you book.

Will the power be off during testing?

Partly, yes — some tests need circuits isolated. We keep disruption to a minimum and agree timing with you or your tenants first.

What happens if it fails?

C1 or C2 findings make the report unsatisfactory, and remedial work is generally needed. MPS quotes it at a fixed price, does the work, and confirms the installation is satisfactory afterwards.

Is an EICR the same as a home buyers survey?

They're closely related. An EICR is the formal condition report. For buyers we pair the same testing with photographs and costed findings you can use to negotiate before exchange.

What does an EICR cost in Leeds?

It depends on the size of the property and number of circuits. Call with the address and bedroom count and we'll give you a fixed price on the phone.
