Understanding Gas and Electrical Safety Certificate
A Key Part of Legal Requirements in the UK
Benefits of Gas and Electrical Safety Checks When Selling, or Renting a Property, in London!
A qualified electrician issues an EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, after assessing the electrical installation in property. During EICR testing, the electrician checks the safety and condition of the installation and decides if it is fit for continued use. EICRs are crucial for spotting potential electrical hazards, ensuring compliance with regulations, and protecting residents, employees, and properties in London.
We offer EICR Certificates in London, with our skilled electricians inspecting and testing wiring, sockets, switches, and fuse boxes. Our detailed reports highlight any issues or hazards. Choose EICR CERT for your Landlord EICR Certificate in London to ensure safety and compliance.
Ensure Complete Compliance with Our Property Solutions
Comprehensive Safety and Compliance Checks
Our Engineers conduct thorough inspections to ensure gas and electrical systems meet safety and compliance standards.
Safety Checks
During gas and electrical safety checks, a Gas Safe and NAPIT/NICEIC registered engineer tests and inspects all gas appliances and electrical systems to ensure they are safe to use.
Gas Inspections
Our engineers check gas boilers, cookers, ovens, and fires for leaks, proper ventilation, and safety device functionality. They inspect pipework for damage and ensure connections are secure.
Flues and Ventilation
Our engineers verify that flues are properly installed, not blocked, and terminate safely. They ensure adequate ventilation for gas appliances to prevent dangerous gas buildup like carbon monoxide.
Electrical Testing
Our electricians perform visual inspections of wiring, cables, consumer units, sockets, switches, and light fittings. Functional tests check circuit breakers, RCDs, polarity, continuity, insulation resistance, and earth loop impedance.
Reporting Findings
After inspections, our electricians document findings in an EICR. They categorise issues as C1 (Immediate action), C2 (Urgent action), C3 (Improvement recommended), or FI (Further investigation needed), and recommend necessary repairs or upgrades.

FAQs for Gas and Electric Certificate
What's the difference between a Gas and Electric Certificate and an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) focuses specifically on the electrical safety of a property. While sometimes referred to as a “Gas and Electric Certificate” or “Electrical Safety Certificate”, it doesn’t cover gas appliances or flues. A separate Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is required for gas systems.
How much does an EICR typically cost?
The cost of an EICR can vary depending on the size and complexity of your property. However, at EICR CERT, we offer competitive rates. Contact us for a free quote based on your specific needs.

While not mandatory for homeowners, EICRs are highly recommended. They provide valuable insights into the safety of your home’s electrical system, helping to prevent potential hazards and ensuring peace of mind.
How long does an EICR inspection take?
The duration of an EICR inspection can vary depending on the property size and complexity. Our experienced engineers will provide an estimated timeframe upon booking your appointment.
