EICR workflow for electricians: from booking to certificate in one day

Since the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, every private rented property in England must have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least every five years. For electricians, EICRs are now one of the most predictable revenue streams in the trade — if you can run them efficiently.

The workflow that wins landlord contracts Landlords with portfolios do not want to call you three times. They want a single point of contact, a booked slot, a certificate in their inbox within 24 hours, and a calendar reminder five years out.

• Online booking with property address and access notes
• Automatic confirmation to landlord and tenant
• On-site test results captured on a tablet
• BS 7671-compliant EICR generated and signed digitally
• PDF emailed to landlord, copy stored against the property
• Five-year recurring reminder scheduled automatically

C1, C2, C3, FI — codes that matter - **C1** — danger present, immediate action required - **C2** — potentially dangerous, urgent remedial - **C3** — improvement recommended, not a fail - **FI** — further investigation required

A property with any C1, C2 or FI code is "unsatisfactory" and the landlord has 28 days to remedy. Your follow-up quote should land in their inbox the same day as the report.

Turning EICRs into recurring revenue Every EICR you complete is a five-year recurring booking waiting to happen. With a CRM that schedules forward automatically, your diary three years from now is already filling itself.
