Day January 12, 2026

You're 38, sat in another pointless Teams meeting, and you've just realised you've spent the last hour discussing a spreadsheet about a presentation about a strategy document. Again. The office heating's too high, the coffee's terrible, and you're staring at the same four walls you've been staring at for a decade. You're thinking, maybe, just maybe, a trade career makes sense. Work with your hands, see tangible results, earn decent money, avoid corporate nonsense.

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the inspection certificate that proves your property's fixed electrical installation is safe, compliant with BS 7671, and fit for continued use. If you're a landlord in England, Wales, or Scotland, you legally need one every five years. If you're selling a house, buyers increasingly expect to see one. If you're a homeowner in a property built before 2000, you probably should have had one by now.
