We serve Kempshott from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every inspection follows a structured sequence to examine fixed wiring without causing unnecessary disruption to the household. We carry out instrument testing on each circuit and inspect accessible accessories throughout the property.
- Initial assessment and circuit isolationUpon arrival, we review the layout of the property, locate the consumer unit, and identify the installed circuits. Power is isolated in stages to allow dead testing, minimising the time any single room or appliance remains without electricity.
- Instrument testing at the consumer unitWe test continuity of protective conductors, insulation resistance, polarity and earth fault loop impedance across each circuit. We also test residual current devices to verify that trip times comply with safety parameters.
- Accessory inspection and findings reviewA sample of sockets, light fittings and switches is opened to inspect wire terminations, terminal tightness and general condition. Before leaving the property, we discuss our observations and explain any identified safety codes.

“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 of the fixed wiring in a property. It records the results of electrical meter tests and visual checks on circuits, switches, sockets and the consumer unit, identifying any damage, wear or safety hazards.
How often does a rental property require an EICR?
Under private rented sector regulations in England, landlords must ensure an electrical safety check is performed at least every five years, or sooner if specified on the previous report. A copy of the current report must also be supplied to incoming tenants before they move into the property.
What happens if an electrical inspection fails?
If an inspection reveals issues, the report lists observation codes indicating urgency. A code C1 means immediate danger, while a C2 indicates potential danger; either code results in an unsatisfactory outcome. We itemise necessary remedial work on a separate quotation so the required fixes can be addressed clearly.
How long does the testing process take in a home?
The duration of an inspection depends on the number of circuits and the general condition of the installation. A standard domestic property with a single consumer unit typically takes several hours to examine and test. Properties with multiple distribution boards or outbuildings require additional testing time.
Will the power be turned off during the visit?
Yes, electrical supplies must be disconnected during instrument testing to ensure safety and allow accurate measurements on dead circuits. We isolate circuits in stages where possible to minimise downtime, though main power isolation is required for testing distribution boards and earthing systems.
