Electrical certificates are there to make sure all your electrics are safe, up to standard, and done properly. They’re basically your proof that the work in your home or business meets UK safety standards. Whether it’s a new install, a small job, or a full inspection, having the right paperwork gives you peace of mind that everything’s been checked and tested by a qualified electrician.
There are a few different types depending on what’s been done. An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is for bigger jobs like new wiring or consumer unit upgrades, while a Minor Works Certificate covers smaller things like adding a new socket or light fitting. If you want to check the condition of your existing electrics, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) does just that. Landlords legally need one every five years, but it’s a smart idea for homeowners too, especially if you’ve not had your electrics tested in a while.
Only registered electricians, like those approved by NICEIC or NAPIT, can issue proper certificates. At Pearson Grey, we make sure every job we do is safe, tested, and fully certified.
