Local workmanship, direct communication and one point of responsibility.

What we do

Specialist work, clearly explained

An EICR is a structured inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring: consumer unit, circuits, earthing and bonding, accessories and protective devices. It tells you what condition the installation is actually in, rather than what it looks like from the front of a socket.

Landlords in England need one at least every five years and at the change of tenancy. Homeowners typically want one when buying, before major work, or when a property hasn't been looked at in a decade or more.

EICRs

Full periodic inspection and testing, with a clear report, honest coding and remedial work quoted separately.

  • Landlord compliance — the five-yearly report and change of tenancy
  • Buying a property and wanting to know what you're taking on
  • An installation that's never been inspected, or not for many years

Landlord reporting

The five-yearly condition report and documentation letting agents and local authorities ask for.

  • A property being let for the first time
  • A five-year report falling due
  • An agent asking for current certification

Remedial work & re-testing

Observations put right and the installation re-tested, so the report you end up with is a clean one.

  • C1 and C2 observations addressed
  • Bonding and earthing brought up to standard
  • Consumer unit and RCD protection reviewed

Local expertise

Built around Norfolk homes

Norwich has a great deal of pre-1970s housing, and plenty of installations that have been extended a few times over the decades without anyone standing back to look at the whole. Older village properties around Broadland often add another layer — outbuildings, garden supplies and workshop circuits added over the years. Those are exactly the installations where an EICR earns its money.

Common questions

Good to know before we begin

Need a more specific answer? Call 07572 789351 and you’ll speak to the person doing the work.

A typical three-bedroom house takes several hours. Larger properties, or installations with lots of added circuits and outbuildings, take longer. Power needs to be off for parts of the test, so it's worth planning the day around it.

Private rented property in England requires one at least every five years and at change of tenancy. For owner-occupied homes, ten years is the usual recommendation, or sooner if the installation is old or has been altered.

C1 means danger is present and requires immediate action. C2 means potentially dangerous and requires remedial work. C3 means improvement recommended — advisory rather than mandatory. A report is only 'satisfactory' if there are no C1, C2 or FI observations.

Not automatically. A rewireable fuse board with no RCD protection will usually attract observations, but the coding depends on the condition of the installation as a whole and how it's used.

No. The report is yours. If you'd like us to price the remedials we'll do that as a separate, itemised quotation — you're free to have someone else carry it out.

No. An EICR covers the fixed installation. Portable appliance testing is a separate exercise.
