What happens on the day
Every inspection visit follows a set procedure to check your circuits methodically while keeping disruption to household power as low as possible.
- Arrival and visual walk roundWe begin by locating the consumer unit, incoming supply meters and main earthing points. We walk through the property to identify all accessible electrical outlets, fixed appliances and switches before starting tests.
- Circuit isolation and instrument testingPower is switched off to test dead circuits safely, followed by live instrument measurements at the fuse board and accessories. We isolate individual circuits in stages so the entire home is not without power for the whole appointment.
- Review of findingsBefore departing, we explain the results of the inspection directly to you. We highlight any detected damage, tell you whether the installation has passed or failed, and explain how the written report will be produced.

“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?
An electrical installation condition report is a formal assessment of the fixed wiring in a building. The inspection checks the incoming supply equipment, consumer unit, cables, switches and sockets to ensure they remain safe for continued use.
Do landlords in England need a safety certificate?
Yes. Private landlords in England must ensure their rental properties have an inspection carried out at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. A copy of the satisfactory report must be supplied to tenants.
How long does an electrical safety test take?
A standard domestic property typically takes a few hours to inspect and test thoroughly. Properties with higher circuit counts, secondary consumer units or older wiring configurations require additional testing time.
What happens if my electrical installation fails?
If defects are recorded with classification codes C1 or C2, the overall result will be unsatisfactory. We provide a written summary detailing the required remedial works so you can arrange for the safety issues to be rectified.
Will the power be turned off during the test?
Yes. Power must be turned off for parts of the visit to conduct dead tests on the cabling safely. We isolate circuits in stages where possible to minimise the period during which household appliances and lighting remain without supply.
