Professional electrical testing and EICRs

An EICR is most useful when it produces clear, actionable information rather than a vague pass-or-fail outcome. That matters for landlords, buyers, homeowners, and anyone planning remedial work.

We carry out electrical testing across Croydon and nearby areas with attention to circuit condition, protective devices, polarity, insulation resistance, and the practical meaning of each observation code. You receive reporting that explains what is dangerous now, what requires prompt remedial work, and what is an improvement recommendation rather than an immediate defect.

This is particularly useful for rental compliance, pre-purchase checks, follow-up after repeated tripping, and post-upgrade verification where the next decision depends on accurate evidence. Where faults or limitations are found, we can tie the report directly into fault finding or remedial planning rather than leaving the result disconnected from the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Electrical Testing & EICR

How often do I need an EICR?

Landlords must have an EICR every 5 years by law. Homeowners should test every 10 years, or when buying/selling. Commercial properties need testing every 3-5 years.

What happens if my property fails?

We'll provide a clear report of any issues found. C1 (dangerous) faults must be fixed immediately. C2 (potentially dangerous) should be fixed soon. C3 are recommendations for improvement.

How long does testing take?

A typical 3-bedroom house takes 2-4 hours. Larger properties or complex installations may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate.

Will my power be off during testing?

Power is isolated for parts of the testing process, typically 30-60 minutes. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and can schedule around your needs.

Can you fix problems found during testing?

Yes, we can quote for any remedial work needed and often complete simple repairs the same day. Major work will be scheduled separately.

Is an EICR the same as PAT testing?

No, EICR tests your property's fixed electrical installation. PAT testing checks portable appliances. Both are important but serve different purposes.
