Whether you're a landlord in Nottingham needing to meet your legal obligations, a homeowner buying a property, or a business owner maintaining your premises, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is essential. This guide covers everything you need to know about EICR testing in Nottingham in 2026.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal assessment of the electrical installation in a property. A qualified electrician tests every circuit, inspects the consumer unit, checks earthing and bonding, and produces a detailed report. Observations are coded C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation required).
Who Needs an EICR in Nottingham?
Landlords in Nottingham are legally required to have a valid EICR every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Homeowners are recommended to have one every 10 years, or when buying or selling a property. Businesses should have EICRs every 3-5 years depending on the type of premises.
How Much Does an EICR Cost in Nottingham?
EICR prices in Nottingham start from £150 for a 1-bedroom flat, £180 for a 2-3 bedroom house, and £220+ for larger properties. Commercial EICRs are priced individually based on the size and complexity of the installation. DDF Electrical provides free, no-obligation quotes — call 07711 933088.

A typical domestic EICR in Nottingham takes 3-4 hours for an average house. Larger properties or those with complex installations may take longer. Commercial EICRs vary significantly depending on the size of the premises. We'll give you a time estimate when booking.
