EICR in Kempshott
JD Electricals carries out EICR testing in Kempshott. The visit starts with the fixed installation that can be inspected on the day, using the held stock around Pack Lane.
“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 price of an EICR covers the complete visual examination, meter testing of accessible circuits, and the production of your formal report document.
- Base pricing covers the inspection and testing of a standard domestic consumer unit.
- Total cost varies depending on the number of circuits, additional distribution boards, and overall property layout.
- Any remedial repairs required to resolve observation codes are quoted on a separate invoice.
Electrical safety checks in Kempshott
- An Electrical Installation Condition Report, commonly known as an EICR, evaluates the condition of fixed wiring in residential properties. Landlords, prospective buyers and homeowners schedule this assessment to confirm circuit safety and identify wear or damage.
- Rented homes in England require a valid electrical safety report before tenants occupy the property. Regular testing confirms that fixed cables, socket outlets, switches and distribution boards remain safe for continued domestic use throughout the tenancy.
- Conveyancers and mortgage lenders frequently request an electrical condition report prior to property exchange. The inspection highlights hidden wiring faults, outdated consumer units or missing earth bonding, giving buyers and sellers an accurate account of the installation.
- Major home improvements such as new kitchens, extensions, or consumer unit replacements benefit from a thorough check of the existing wiring. Testing confirms that old and new circuits interact safely and comply with domestic safety regulations.
Inspecting wiring systems across Kempshott
- Domestic properties across Kempshott include diverse architectural styles, from established detached homes to newer residential housing. We inspect fixed wiring thoroughly from the consumer unit through to final accessories in each neighbourhood.
- Houses along Pack Lane and Kempshott Lane often feature extended circuit layouts or older consumer units that have been altered over time. Testing checks that distribution equipment, earthing conductors and bonded service pipes meet current requirements.
- Properties around Homesteads Road and Winchester Road frequently undergo renovations or kitchen modernisations. Our assessment checks fixed wiring, socket circuits and fixed heating connections for hidden wear, damaged insulation and loose terminals.
- Homes within Kempshott Park and nearby Buckskin include varied domestic arrangements, from multi-level layouts to compact family residences. We systematically inspect consumer units, lighting circuits and outdoor supplies to verify protective device operation.
What happens during an electrical inspection visit
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.
- 01
Initial assessment and circuit isolation
Upon 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.
- 02
Instrument testing at the consumer unit
We 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.
- 03
Accessory inspection and findings review
A 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.
Additional domestic electrical services in Kempshott
Alongside safety inspections, we provide consumer unit upgrades, complete rewires, lighting improvements, and additional power points for residential properties.

Frequently asked questions about EICRs
Here are answers to common questions asked by landlords and homeowners regarding electrical installation condition reports.
What 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.
— James Dunn
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.
— James Dunn
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.
Do you test apartments as well as detached houses?+
Yes, we carry out safety inspections on flats, terraced houses, semi-detached properties and detached residences. As long as the domestic consumer unit and metering equipment are safely accessible, we can inspect and certify the fixed installation.
