Final costs are based directly on the number of circuits connected to your distribution boards. - EICR: from £110 - The starting price covers testing and reporting for standard consumer units based on total circuit count. - Additional consumer units, three-phase distribution systems and high circuit counts increase testing time and overall cost. - Remedial repairs, circuit replacements and exploratory investigative work are quoted separately from the inspection fee. ## EICR across Wimborne Minster We serve Wimborne Minster from our base in Poole. - Wimborne town centre - Leigh Road - Allenview - BH21 ## What happens on the day Every inspection follows a structured sequence that minimises disruption while conducting full electrical tests. We coordinate circuit isolations before opening equipment so occupants can plan around temporary power interruptions. ### Arrival and initial walkthrough We locate the main distribution board, meters and isolation switches, noting any critical loads such as refrigeration, heating controls or IT equipment. A clear order of testing is arranged before any circuits are turned off. ### Dead testing with isolated power With the installation or individual circuits de-energised, we perform resistance checks on protective conductors and test insulation resistance between conductors. These measurements reveal internal cable breakdown without risking connected equipment. ### Live operational checks Power is restored to specific circuits to measure earth fault loop impedance, prospective fault current and the disconnection times of residual current devices. These live tests verify that safety devices disconnect power swiftly during a short circuit or earth fault. ### Observation recording and debrief Observed non-compliances are recorded using national safety codes from C1 to C3, alongside any items needing further investigation. We explain the findings before leaving the property so you understand the immediate condition of the wiring. ## Frequently asked questions about EICRs ### What is the purpose of an EICR? An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal safety assessment of the fixed wiring in a building. It checks whether cables, switches, sockets, protective bonding and consumer units are safe, compliant with national standards, and free from dangerous deterioration or overloading. ### Are private landlords required to obtain an EICR? Yes. Private landlords in England must ensure electrical installations in rental properties are inspected and tested at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. A copy of the report showing a satisfactory result must be supplied to tenants and retained for compliance files. ### Will power be switched off during the inspection? Yes. Power must be turned off to circuits during dead testing and when measuring insulation resistance. We test in stages so that power interruptions are planned, allowing occupants to manage essential appliances before electrical supplies are restored. ### What do the C1, C2 and C3 codes mean? C1 indicates immediate danger where risk of injury exists and requires immediate action. C2 indicates potential danger requiring urgent repair. C3 denotes an improvement recommended to align older wiring with modern standards. An installation receiving C1 or C2 observations receives an unsatisfactory overall outcome. ### What happens if my electrical inspection fails? If an inspection returns an unsatisfactory result due to C1, C2 or FI items, we itemise the identified faults. We provide a separate quotation detailing the corrective remedial work needed, which can then be booked at our standard hourly labour rate plus necessary materials. ## Other services in Wimborne Minster - [Electrician in Wimborne Minster](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-wimborne-minster): Electrical testing, fault finding, repairs and planned installation work across Wimborne Minster, Leigh Road, Allenview and BH21. - [EICR (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/eicr): EICR testing from MX2 Electrical in Poole.
