EICR Testing & Reports
An EICR checks a domestic, rented or commercial property’s fixed electrical installation against BS 7671. Our NICEIC-registered electricians identify defects, explain their significance and issue a clear report, so you can arrange repairs or document compliance.
Experienced inspection for every property type
Older homes often contain additions from different periods, hidden junctions and circuits altered around later building work. We trace how the installation is arranged, inspect accessible fittings and check for damaged equipment, overheating, poor connections and inadequate bonding.
An EICR also depends on measured results, not just a visual inspection. We carry out relevant tests, including insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation, then compare the findings with the installation’s design and condition.
For landlords, agents and commercial property managers, the report records the defects that need attention and separates them from observations that can be monitored. That gives you a practical repair list and the paperwork needed for your property records.
From inspection to clear next steps
Tell us the property type, reason for the inspection and any deadline. We confirm the scope and price before arranging access, then inspect the installation, issue the EICR and talk through urgent findings, remedial work and any follow-up paperwork.
Start with the property details
Tell us whether the property is domestic, rented or commercial, why you need the EICR and any access requirements. We use that information to define the inspection properly.
Agree the scope and price
We confirm which parts of the fixed installation are included, along with the price, before arranging access. That leaves you clear about what the inspection covers and what it does not.
Prepare the property for inspection
Please make rooms, distribution boards and accessible electrical fittings available. We explain any areas that cannot be inspected so the report does not give a misleading impression of the installation.
Complete the EICR on site
Our NICEIC-registered electricians inspect and test the installation, recording the condition of circuits, protective devices and accessible equipment. We investigate defects rather than relying on a quick visual check.
Receive a report you can act on
The EICR sets out coded observations and the overall result in clear terms. We explain which findings need remedial work, which can be monitored and what the next step means for the property.
Arrange any follow-up work
If the report identifies faults, we can quote for the required electrical work separately. Landlords, agents and commercial managers can then keep the EICR and remedial paperwork together for their property records.
Experienced inspectors and documented results
Every EICR we issue sets out the installation’s condition, coded observations and recommended actions in a clear record. You can give the report to an agent, buyer or insurer and use the findings to plan work without guessing what needs doing.
Questions about EICR testing and reports
How much access does an EICR inspection require?
Please provide access to rooms, the consumer unit and fixed appliances where relevant. We work methodically, explain any necessary isolation, and leave details of outstanding issues for you to act.
How long does an EICR inspection take?
Timing depends on the property's size, number of circuits and installation complexity. We allow enough time to complete testing properly, explain findings and issue the report and explain next steps.
What happens if an EICR identifies an electrical fault?
If we find a dangerous defect, we explain the risk and isolate the affected circuit where necessary. We’ll recommend remedial work, provide a written quotation, and update paperwork after completion.
How long is an EICR valid for?
There is no universal expiry date; the report gives a recommended review period. Landlords must follow current legal requirements, while homeowners should arrange another inspection when the report advises.
Does an EICR cover outbuildings and external circuits?
Yes, where included in the inspection scope. We test fixed wiring serving garages, sheds and outdoor equipment, checking isolation, protection, earthing and weather-exposed accessories for safety and recording findings clearly.
A Clear, Properly Documented EICR
A report is useful when everyone can act on it. We explain findings in plain English, identify the next steps and record agreed actions accurately, so homeowners, landlords and agents can move from inspection to completion without chasing missing information.
Coverage Across Four Counties
Your property may be in Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire or the North Cotswolds. We provide EICR inspections across this regional area, not just in one town.
Qualified Electrical Inspectors
Your inspection is carried out by our directly employed NICEIC-registered electricians, with ECA membership supporting the standard of electrical work we assess.
Care With Older Installations
Older homes, extensions and altered wiring can contain different standards of work. We assess the installation as it stands and explain which defects affect safety or compliance.
Recommendations You Can Prioritise
If the inspection finds a dangerous or potentially dangerous defect, we explain the risk and what needs attention first. Less urgent improvements are separated from immediate safety work.
Useful for Landlords and Agents
Landlords, letting agents and property managers receive electrical paperwork that can be filed with other property records and used to organise any required remedial work.
Clear Costs Before Remedial Work
If the EICR identifies repairs, we explain the work needed and provide a written quotation before anything starts. The agreed price does not change through surprise charges.
