Which best describes you?
Pick the one that fits, and we will show you the right information first.
I let property out
Landlord or letting agent with one home or a portfolio in Test Electrical. Block bookings, one invoice, and a reminder before each report runs out.
Landlords and letting agents →I live in my own home
You want to know the wiring is safe, the fuseboard is up to the job, and nothing is quietly going wrong behind the plaster.
EICRs for home owners →I am selling or buying
A sale is moving and the electrics are a question mark. We test, report, and give you paperwork your solicitor can pass on.
EICRs for property sales →What we do in Test Electrical
Three jobs, done properly. We do not fit kitchens, rewire whole houses or sell solar.
Fuseboard changes
A new consumer unit when the old one cannot protect the circuits. Modern boards add RCD protection, which cuts the power in a fraction of a second if someone touches a live part.
From £600
Why boards get flagged →Small remedials
The faults the EICR turns up. Loose connections, missing earth bonding, a broken socket, a light fitting past its best. We quote each one in writing before we touch it.
Quoted before any work
See indicative prices →How a booking works
Four steps. No sales visit, no pressure, no surprise invoice.
1
You call or email
Tell us the address in Test Electrical, roughly how big the property is, and whether a tenant lives there. That is enough for a price.
2
We confirm the price
You get the cost of the EICR in writing before anything is booked. If we need to see the property first, we say so.
3
We test on the day
We work through every circuit. The power goes off in stages, so we tell the tenant what to expect before we arrive.
4
Report and quote
The PDF report comes by email. If anything failed, you get a written price for the repairs at the same time.
Letting a property? The law is specific
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 set two dates you need to hit.
Inspect at least every 5 years
Every rented home needs its fixed wiring inspected and tested at least once every 5 years, and more often if the report itself asks for it.
Report to the tenant within 28 days
You give a copy of the report to the tenant within 28 days of the inspection. New tenants get a copy before they move in.
Questions we get asked most
Straight answers, no jargon.
How long does an EICR take?
It depends on the property. A small flat with a handful of circuits is a shorter job than a four bed house with an extension, a garage supply and an outside socket. We tell you the likely length when we price the job, so a tenant knows what to plan around.
Does the power have to go off?
Yes, in stages. Testing a circuit properly means isolating it. We work through the board one circuit at a time and warn you first. If someone works from home in the property, tell us when you book and we will plan around it.
What does unsatisfactory mean?
It means the report found at least one fault coded C1, C2 or FI. C1 is danger present. C2 is potentially dangerous. FI means something needs further investigation. Any of the three makes the report unsatisfactory until the fault is put right.
Do you fix what you find?
Yes, that is the point of using us. We quote the small remedials in writing and, once you agree, we come back and do them. You are not left ringing round for a second electrician.
Do you cover my part of Test Electrical?
We work across Test Electrical and nowhere else. That is deliberate. It keeps travel short, it keeps us close if you need us back, and it means you speak to the person doing the work rather than a national booking line.
Book an EICR in Test Electrical
Ring us with the address and we will give you a fixed price. If it is easier, email and we will come back to you with the same.
We work from home and travel to you, so there is no shop to visit. The whole job happens at the property.
