What an EICR covers in Reading
Reading sits in the South East region of the UK private rented sector. Landlords letting property here must hold a valid EICR certificate before a new tenancy begins, and must renew it at least every 5 years.
Postcode areas typically covered include RG1, RG2, RG4, RG6. Engineers may charge a small premium for properties inside congestion or low-emission zones where parking and travel times add cost.
A standard EICR inspection takes between two and four hours depending on the size and age of the property. The engineer visually inspects and tests every circuit, identifies any C1, C2 or FI codes that require remedial work, and issues a certificate confirming whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory reports must be remediated within 28 days.
