Why an Electrical Safety Certificate is Essential
Electrical safety certificates aren’t just a formality; they’re a necessary part of maintaining a safe environment for anyone living in or visiting your property. For landlords, they’re essential in meeting legal requirements, demonstrating that every reasonable step has been taken to ensure tenant safety. With electrical faults being a leading cause of fires in homes, having a regular electrical inspection significantly reduces the risk of accidents and hazards. Beyond compliance, these certificates provide reassurance for tenants and occupants, knowing that their safety is protected. In London, where property regulations are closely monitored, an electrical safety certificate is a crucial part of responsible property management.
What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document that provides a comprehensive review of the electrical installations in a property. This report evaluates the safety, condition, and functionality of your wiring, fuse boards, and other essential components. During an EICR inspection, our engineers carefully check for faults, wear, and compliance with current safety standards. An EICR identifies any issues that could pose a risk, along with recommended steps for remedial work if needed. For landlords, regular EICR checks are a legal requirement, making this report an essential document for property safety and maintenance.

FAQs
How much does an electrical safety certificate cost UK?
The cost of an electrical safety certificate in the UK varies based on the size of the property and the type of inspection. At TNS Electrical Solutions, our prices start from £70, including VAT, for a studio property. Larger properties, such as a three-bedroom home, are typically priced around £99, inclusive of VAT. We also offer package deals for properties with multiple fuse boards or special requirements.
Where can I find an EICR certificate?
Your EICR certificate will be provided by the registered engineer who completed the inspection. If you are a TNS Electrical Solutions customer, you can access and download your EICR certificate directly from our online customer portal after the inspection is completed. We ensure each certificate is stored securely and made easily accessible for your records.
Is an EICR the same as an electrical safety certificate?
Yes, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is often referred to as an electrical safety certificate. This document assesses the safety of a property’s electrical installations and is required for rented properties to verify compliance with safety standards. However, the term "electrical safety certificate" can also refer to other types of safety checks, so it's always best to confirm the specific requirements for your property.
Is an EPC the same as an electrical safety certificate?
No, an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is different from an electrical safety certificate. An EPC assesses a property’s energy efficiency, while an electrical safety certificate, like an EICR, evaluates the safety and condition of the electrical installations. Both certificates are important for landlords but serve distinct purposes and regulatory requirements.
Can I do my own EPC certificate?
No, EPCs must be conducted by a qualified and accredited assessor. Attempting to complete an EPC without the proper certification is not compliant with UK regulations. TNS Electrical Solutions offers guidance on obtaining an EPC if required, so feel free to reach out if you need assistance.
Do I need an EPC if I have an EICR?
Yes, you need an EPC even if you have an EICR. While the EICR addresses electrical safety, the EPC measures energy performance. Both are required in rented properties, ensuring they meet both safety and efficiency standards.
