Know when an EICR is useful
Periodic electrical testing confirms whether an existing installation remains safe for ongoing use.
Buying or selling a home
Buyers evaluating Victorian villas in Westbourne or older houses in Wimborne Minster often request testing to identify aging wiring before completing a purchase.
Periodic safety checks
Homeowners in Poole and Parkstone book testing to check aging consumer units, identify hidden deterioration and confirm circuit earthing.
What happens on the day
The inspection requires brief disconnections to individual circuits while testing takes place.
Power interruption
Power is turned off to individual circuits or the whole property during instrument testing. Sensitive electronics should be safely shut down beforehand.
Access requirements
Clear access is needed to the main consumer unit, electric meter, earthing connections and all accessible sockets, switches and light fittings.
Initial debrief
Any immediate safety observations are discussed on site before the final formal paperwork is compiled.
Understand the report
The completed report highlights any observed defects using standardised classification codes.
C1
Danger present. Risk of injury exists and immediate remedial action is required to make the installation safe.
C2
Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action is required to remove the hazard, resulting in an overall unsatisfactory report.
C3
Improvement recommended. The installation does not meet modern wiring standards but is not currently dangerous.
FI
Further investigation required. An issue could not be fully verified during the inspection and requires additional assessment without delay.
EICR price questions
How much does EICR cost in Poole?+
MX2 Electrical charges £110 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
How often do I need an EICR for my rental property?+
I carry out these checks every five years for landlords, or at every change of tenancy if specified in your letting agreements. English regulations require private rentals to hold a satisfactory report.
Will my power be turned off during the inspection?+
Yes, I will need to isolate the electricity supply at the consumer unit to test individual circuit conductors and protective devices safely.
What happens if the report comes back unsatisfactory?+
An unsatisfactory report contains C1, C2 or FI codes. You must have remedial work completed by a qualified electrician to rectify the faults within 28 days or any shorter timeframe noted.
Do you supply a certificate after testing?+
A digital Electrical Installation Condition Report is provided detailing all test results, board schedules, observations and the overall outcome of the inspection.
Why do prices differ between towns round here?+
Local housing stock is the main reason. Victorian and Edwardian houses and conversions Older or harder-to-access properties take longer, and that time is what a quote is mostly made of.
