Overview
A Clear Picture Of Your Property's Electrics
An EICR assesses the condition of an existing electrical installation and identifies defects, deterioration or safety issues that may need attention.
For landlords, electrical safety inspections are an important part of managing rented property and demonstrating that the installation has been properly checked.
For homeowners, an EICR can also provide useful information when buying, renovating or simply wanting to understand the condition of the electrics.
We carry out the inspection methodically, record the findings and explain any issues clearly so you know what the report means and what may need to happen next.

Clear EICR Pricing
Once we know the type and size of property, we can confirm the cost of the inspection before the appointment is booked.
If remedial work is identified, this is treated separately from the inspection so you can understand what has been found before deciding how to proceed.
What To Avoid
Mistakes We Help You Avoid
An EICR is only useful when the inspection is thorough and the findings are explained properly.
Treating It As A Tick-Box Exercise
The purpose of an EICR is to assess the condition of the installation, not simply to produce a piece of paper.
Ignoring Report Observations
If defects are identified, understanding what they mean is important. We explain the findings and what action may be recommended.
Confusing Inspection With Remedial Work
The report identifies the condition of the installation. Any required repairs or upgrades can then be considered separately.
Leaving Testing Too Late
For landlords and property owners, arranging inspections in good time avoids unnecessary pressure when documentation is needed.
Peace Of Mind
Clear Reports & Professional Advice
Your EICR provides a documented assessment of the electrical installation at the time of inspection, along with any observations identified during testing.
If further electrical work is recommended, we explain what has been found and can provide clear pricing for remedial work where required.
