Do You Need an EICR in Paisley?
Paisley's housing stock runs from sandstone villas and terraces in the town's conservation areas — Oakshaw, Castlehead and Thornly Park — through to more recent housing further from the centre. Older properties, and any property being let to tenants, are the two most common reasons an EICR is needed. Private landlords in Scotland have duties under the Repairing Standard to keep a let property's electrical installation safe, and a valid EICR is how that's evidenced.
- You're letting a property to tenants
- Your existing EICR is over five years old, or was marked unsatisfactory
- A tenancy is changing and a current, valid report is needed
- The property is older, or in one of Paisley's conservation areas, where wiring is more likely to have aged
- You're buying, selling or renovating and want a clear picture of the electrics

What the Codes on Your EICR Mean
Every observation on an EICR is classified using a standard set of codes, so you know exactly what's been found and how urgent it is.
- C1 — Danger present: an immediate risk needing urgent attention
- C2 — Potentially dangerous: not immediate, but needs prompt improvement
- C3 — Improvement recommended: doesn't affect the outcome, but worth addressing
- FI — Further investigation: an area that needs a closer look before it can be classified
A report is marked satisfactory or unsatisfactory depending on what's found. We'll talk you through the results in plain English, not just hand over a form.

EICR & Landlord Certificate FAQs — Paisley
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a full inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, consumer unit and circuits against current wiring regulations, resulting in a formal report and a satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome.
How often does a rented property need an EICR?
Rented properties generally need a satisfactory EICR at regular intervals, and again if a tenancy changes and the existing report is out of date or was marked unsatisfactory. We can talk you through the current requirements for your Paisley property.
What do the C1, C2, C3 and FI codes mean?
C1 means danger present and needs urgent attention; C2 means potentially dangerous and needs prompt improvement; C3 is an advisory improvement recommendation; FI means an area needs further investigation before it can be classified. We'll explain any codes on your report clearly.
Do you carry out the remedial work if issues are found?
Yes. Where an EICR identifies work that's needed, we provide a written quote and can carry out the repairs ourselves — from minor fixes to a consumer unit upgrade or rewire.
Do you work with landlords managing more than one property?
Yes. We regularly complete domestic electrical work for landlords, including EICRs, upgrades and improvement works between tenancies.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Quotes are no obligation. We may need a site visit for larger work to quote accurately.
