EICRs
A written report on the state of your electrics, with anything that needs attention clearly explained.
What an electrical inspection involves
An electrical installation condition report is a check of the fixed wiring in a property: the circuits, the consumer unit, the earthing and the fittings. It tells you whether the installation is safe to go on using and whether anything needs doing.
We carry out the tests, record what we find against the standard the report uses and explain the result in plain language. Nothing is repaired without you agreeing first.

Report and repairs

How it works
Tell us what needs doing
A fault, an upgrade, a new circuit or a full rewire. Describe it, send a photo of the consumer unit if you can, and tell us the address.
We look at the installation
We check what is there now, what the job needs and anything that affects it, so the quote reflects the real work.
A written quote
It sets out the work and what is included, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
Installed, tested and explained
We do the work, test it, tell you what we have done and explain any paperwork that applies to the job.
Questions about EICRs
It depends on the size of the property and how many circuits it has. We give an estimate once we know the details.
