EICR in Farnborough
EICR testing in Farnborough from £200. The inspection covers the fixed installation in Cove and Southwood homes, including later lighting and extra circuits added since the house was built.
“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.”

EICR pricing structure
The fee for an electrical inspection reflects the time required to test and document every individual circuit connected to the consumer unit.
- The base price covers the inspection and testing of a standard domestic consumer unit and its connected circuits.
- Additional consumer units, distribution boards or larger numbers of circuits will adjust the final price.
EICR testing in Farnborough
- JD Electricals carries out electrical installation condition reports across Farnborough for private homeowners, residential landlords and letting agents preparing tenancies. Every inspection verifies the fixed wiring and issues formal safety documentation.
- Private landlords require a current safety certificate before tenants move into a domestic property and whenever five years have passed. We inspect the circuits thoroughly to confirm the installation meets safety regulations for private lets.
- Property purchases often require an independent inspection of the electrical installation before contracts are exchanged. We assess the wiring, consumer unit and accessories so buyers understand the state of the fixed electrics prior to moving.
- Properties that have undergone building work, building extensions or consumer unit replacements benefit from a complete assessment. An inspection confirms that existing cabling and newly added circuits function properly together without overloading.
Electrical inspections across GU14
- Domestic electrical inspections involve systematic testing of fuse boards, socket outlets, switches and fixed wiring across homes in Farnborough neighbourhoods.
- We inspect the main incoming supply, earthing conductors, bonding conductors and protective devices at the fuse board. We check that circuit breakers, residual current devices and isolators operate properly under fault conditions.
- With the power isolated, we measure continuity of protective conductors and insulation resistance across every circuit. These tests reveal cable degradation, damaged insulation and hidden wiring issues behind walls and ceilings.
- After restoring electrical supply, we test earth fault loop impedance and verify the trip times of residual current devices. We inspect accessible fittings, lighting points and socket outlets throughout the building.
What happens during an electrical safety check
Every inspection visit follows a set procedure to check your circuits methodically while keeping disruption to household power as low as possible.
- 01
Arrival and visual walk round
We 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.
- 02
Circuit isolation and instrument testing
Power 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.
- 03
Review of findings
Before 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.

Frequently asked questions about EICRs
Here are common questions asked by homeowners and landlords in Farnborough regarding electrical safety inspections and documentation.
What 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.
— James Dunn
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.
— James Dunn
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.
Are repairs included in the inspection fee?+
The inspection fee covers testing the existing installation and compiling the written report. Any remedial work or component replacements required to address defects are priced separately on their own written quote.
