At Main Stream Electrical, we are NICEIC-certified electricians based in Manchester, specialising in accurate Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR). Our comprehensive EICR assessments are designed to ensure that electrical systems remain safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

What is an EICR?

An EICR is a formal document produced after a detailed assessment of the electrical installations within a property. Our EICRs identify deficiencies against current wiring standards (BS 7671), highlighting potential hazards, deterioration, or deviations that could pose a risk.

EICR assessments are crucial for landlords, businesses and homeowners for safety and legal compliance purposes. 


Who Needs an EICR?

  • Landlords – Required by law to obtain an EICR every 5 years or at the start of each new tenancy.
  • Homeowners – Recommended every 10 years or during property sales and major renovations.
  • Businesses and Commercial Premises – Essential for ensuring workplace safety and satisfying insurance and regulatory requirements.


Our EICRs include:

  • Visually inspect the condition of wiring, sockets, switches, consumer units, and other fixed installations
  • Conduct live and dead testing of circuits to identify faults
  • Check for potential fire and electric shock risks
  • Assess the adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Provide a detailed report with a clear classification of any observed issues (C1, C2, or C3)
  • Offer professional recommendations and a quote for any remedial work if needed


At Main Stream Electrical, we issue each report promptly following the inspection, providing our customers with fulldocumentation for insurance, legal and internal record purposes. 


We understand the importance of electrical safety and compliance, especially for landlords and business owners. Therefore, at Main Stream Electrical, we deliver trusted EICR services with thorough attention to detail, ensuring every property we inspect meets the highest safety standards.
