What happens on the day
Every inspection follows a clear sequence from arrival to the delivery of the written report. Power is disconnected section by section so that disruption to your routine is minimised.
- Initial survey and setupWe arrive at your address, check the consumer unit layout and identify the rooms in use. We plan the testing sequence beforehand so essential appliances such as freezers remain off for the shortest possible duration.
- Dead and live circuit testingWe inspect each circuit inside the distribution board and carry out continuity, insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance checks. Sockets, switches and accessible accessories are inspected directly for physical damage or deterioration.
- Observation recordingAny item falling short of modern safety standards is noted using recognised trade codes. We walk through the notes with you directly so you understand the state of the installation before we pack our equipment.

WhatsAppWhat does an EICR involve?
An inspection involves visual checks and instrument tests on the fixed wiring, switches, sockets, and consumer units. The process detects overloaded circuits, missing earth connections, and potential shock hazards.
How often should an EICR be completed?
Private rental properties in England require an updated inspection every five years or at every change of tenancy. Domestic homeowners usually book a report every ten years or when buying or selling a property.
Will the power be turned off during the visit?
Yes, sections of the electrical system must be isolated to test cables and components safely. We switch off circuits systematically and restore power before leaving the property.
What do the safety observation codes mean?
Code C1 indicates immediate danger that needs urgent attention. Code C2 signals a potential danger requiring prompt repair. Code C3 points out a recommended improvement to meet modern standards, while FI means further investigation is needed.
Can you carry out remedial repairs if the report is unsatisfactory?
Yes, we can price and complete the necessary remedial repairs. We outline what is needed and provide an itemised quote so you can choose when to schedule the work.
