About Our Certified Electrician Service in Bowthorpe
Four documents cover nearly all electrical work, and they are not interchangeable.
- Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), for new work: a new circuit, a rewire, a consumer unit change.
- Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate, for an addition or alteration to an existing circuit where no new circuit is created.
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), for periodic inspection of an installation that already exists. It is a report, not a certificate.
- Building Regulations compliance certificate, issued after notifiable Part P work. This is the one a conveyancer asks for.
An EICR does not pass or fail. It records observations against four codes. C1 means danger present and immediate remedial action required. C2 means potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required. C3 means improvement recommended. FI means further investigation required without delay. Any C1, C2 or FI makes the report unsatisfactory, and C3s on their own leave it satisfactory.
A privately rented home in England must be inspected and tested at least every five years, and the tenant must get a copy of the report within 28 days. Norspark is NAPIT registered and our electricians are qualified to BS 7671.

Frequently Asked Questions
My EICR came back unsatisfactory. Is the property dangerous?
Not necessarily. A single C2 on an otherwise sound installation is enough to make the whole report unsatisfactory, and C2 means potentially dangerous rather than dangerous right now. A C1 is different: danger is present, and a C1 is normally made safe before the electrician leaves. Once the C1s, C2s and FIs are rectified and the supporting paperwork issued, the installation is considered satisfactory.
Do I have to fix the C3s?
No. C3 means improvement recommended, and C3s do not change the outcome of the report. They are still worth reading, because they tend to be the items that turn into C2s at the next inspection. Sorting them while the electrician is already on site usually costs less than a separate visit later.
How long is an EICR valid for?
A privately rented home in England must be inspected and tested at intervals of no more than five years, and that one is law under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. An owner-occupied home is recommended at least every ten years. Commercial premises commonly run to five years and industrial to three, as recommendations from IET Guidance Note 3 rather than law. If the inspector specifies a shorter interval on the report, that date governs.
Can you certify work that somebody else carried out?
No. A certificate is signed by whoever designed, installed and tested the work. Undocumented work by someone else gets inspected and reported on in an EICR instead. Where notifiable work was never notified, the route is a regularisation application to your local authority building control, and they may want parts of the installation opened up to inspect.
