EICR Certificates

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of your electrical installation carried out by a qualified electrician. It determines whether the wiring, consumer unit, sockets and other fixed electrical equipment are safe for continued use and compliant with current standards.

VCO Electrical carries out EICR inspections in line with BS 7671:2018 +A2:2022 and IET Guidance Note 3 (2022). All reports are issued digitally the same day as the inspection.

Who Needs an EICR?

  • Landlords — required every 5 years for all rental properties under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020
  • Homeowners — for peace of mind, when buying or selling, or when extending or renovating
  • Businesses — required periodically for commercial premises under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
  • Estate agents — required for properties entering or renewing tenancies

What's Included

  • Visual inspection of consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Dead testing of circuits (continuity, insulation resistance)
  • Live testing (earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation, prospective fault current)
  • Classification of observations (C1, C2, C3, FI)
  • Digital EICR report issued to the property address the same day

Consumer Unit Replacement

An outdated fuse board or consumer unit can be a safety risk and may fail EICR criteria. VCO Electrical replaces old fuse boards with modern consumer units fitted with full RCD and RCBO protection.

Modern consumer units provide circuit-by-circuit protection, meaning a fault on one circuit does not affect others. RCBO protection is recommended for bathroom, kitchen, outdoor and socket circuits.

  • All major consumer unit brands installed — Hager, Schneider, Wylex
  • Fixed price — most single-phase domestic installations completed in one day
  • Installation certificate issued the same day
  • Building Regulations notification handled where required

Electrical Rewiring

Older properties often have wiring systems that are no longer safe or compliant — rubber-insulated cables, inadequate earthing, or insufficient circuits for modern usage. VCO Electrical carries out full and partial rewires across London and Kent.

  • Full house rewires and partial rewires
  • Experience with Victorian, Edwardian and 1950s–1970s properties
  • Planned work schedule confirmed before commencement
  • All work certificated and Building Regulations notified

Emergency Electrician

Electrical emergencies require a qualified, fast response. VCO Electrical provides emergency call-outs across London and Kent for power failures, persistent circuit tripping, burning smells, sparking outlets and other urgent faults.

  • Fast response across London and Kent
  • Qualified engineers attend — not unqualified handymen
  • Root cause diagnosis carried out on arrival
  • Pricing confirmed before remedial work begins

Electrical Fault Finding

Electrical faults are not always obvious. Tripping RCDs, intermittent power loss and failing appliances can all indicate underlying wiring issues that require systematic diagnosis.

Our engineers use a combination of visual inspection, dead testing and live testing to locate the root cause of faults, providing a clear diagnosis and fixed-price remedial quotation before proceeding with any work.

Lighting & Sockets

We install new lighting circuits, additional sockets, outdoor sockets and lighting, LED downlights, smart switches and USB charging points. All new circuits are tested, certificated and notified to Building Control where required.

Smoke Alarms & CO Detectors

Hard-wired interlinked smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are required in all rental properties under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022. VCO Electrical installs compliant systems across London and Kent.

Commercial Electrical Services

VCO Electrical carries out commercial electrical work for small businesses, office fit-outs, retail premises and hospitality venues. Services include three-phase supply, distribution boards, emergency lighting, fire alarm integration and periodic inspection.
