EICR across Hook
We serve Hook from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
We complete our tests with minimal disruption to your home, working methodically through the installation from the consumer unit outward to each circuit.
- Initial survey and circuit isolationOn arrival, we inspect the consumer unit and main incoming electrical equipment. Power is switched off in planned stages to allow detailed dead testing while keeping disruption inside the property as low as possible.
- Instrument testing of circuitsCalibrated test meters assess continuity, insulation resistance, and earthing across every reachable circuit. We examine the condition of wiring, socket outlets, lighting switches, and fused spurs throughout the home.
- Live testing and functional checksOnce power is restored, we verify fault-loop impedance and confirm that residual current devices trip within required time limits. Any observed defect receives a standard trade code based on safety severity.

“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 document produced following a detailed inspection and testing of a property's fixed wiring, consumer unit, and electrical accessories to confirm they are safe to use.
Do landlords in Hook need an EICR?
Yes. Private landlords in England must have electrical installations inspected and tested at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy, with a copy supplied to tenants.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
The duration depends on property size and the number of circuits present. A typical domestic inspection usually takes several hours to examine the consumer unit, complete meter testing, and inspect accessories.
What happens if defects are discovered during testing?
Defects receive standard trade codes based on safety severity. If urgent repairs are needed to make the system satisfactory, we provide a separate written quotation detailing the required work.
Will the power be switched off during the inspection?
Yes. Power must be isolated for parts of the inspection to carry out dead tests safely. We isolate circuits in stages where possible to minimise disruption while we work.
