What happens on the day
An inspection visit methodically evaluates your property from the incoming mains supply to the furthest light fitting and power socket. The process isolates circuits systematically to keep disruptions minimal.
- Arrival and visual reviewThe inspection begins with an assessment of the electrical service head, main bonding conductors, and the consumer unit. We walk the home to review switches, sockets and fixed appliances for obvious signs of damage or heat stress.
- Instrument testing of circuitsCalibrated test equipment measures circuit continuity, insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance. We also verify that residual current devices trip within safety limits when simulated electrical faults occur.
- Reviewing findings and resultsBefore packing away, we walk you through the test outcomes and explain any observation codes. We produce the formal report detailing whether the installation achieves a satisfactory or unsatisfactory rating.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppWhat is an EICR and why is it needed?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a detailed examination of the fixed electrical wiring, consumer unit, sockets, and switches within a property. It identifies potential electrical safety hazards, assesses wear, and confirms whether the system satisfies modern UK electrical safety requirements for homeowners or tenants.
Do private landlords in Brighton Hill legally require an EICR?
Yes, private landlords in England must ensure that an electrical safety inspection takes place every five years or at each change of tenancy. A passing certificate must be made available to tenants and, when requested, local housing authorities to demonstrate that all fixed wiring remains safe to use.
How long does an electrical inspection take to complete?
A standard domestic inspection generally takes a few hours, though the exact duration depends on the number of circuits, accessibility of fittings, and overall size of the house. Power to individual circuits will be briefly turned off while test instruments check insulation, earthing, and disconnection times.
What happens if an installation receives an unsatisfactory result?
If the inspection identifies safety concerns, these are documented using standard industry codes. Any urgent or potentially dangerous items will be clearly itemised. We provide a separate written price for remedial works so that repairs can be scheduled and the certificate updated accordingly.
Are flats and houses both inspected in Brighton Hill?
Yes, we inspect all types of domestic properties in Brighton Hill, ranging from apartments to detached family homes. The testing process covers distribution boards, final lighting and socket circuits, and main earthing conductors regardless of property layout or size.
