What happens on the day
We aim to make the inspection straightforward while keeping disruption to your daily routine minimal. We explain the process on arrival and keep you updated on what we find as we work.
- Arrival and installation walk throughWe begin by locating the consumer unit, incoming supply meter, and main earth connections. We confirm which rooms and outbuildings need testing and discuss any specific electrical concerns you have.
- Systematic circuit disconnection and testingPower to individual circuits is isolated in turn so that dead testing can be conducted safely. We test each run of cable systematically, restoring power to circuits as testing progresses to minimise downtime.
- Live testing and functional checksOnce dead testing is complete, the supply is energised again to perform live tests on residual current devices. We verify that trip times meet required safety standards under simulated earth faults.
- Reviewing observations before departureBefore packing away, we walk you through the test results and explain any items noted during the visit. We clarify whether the installation has achieved a satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome.

“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.”

WhatsAppHow much does an EICR cost?
Pricing is determined by the size of the property, the number of circuits to be tested, and whether there are additional boards or outbuildings. The price covers complete testing of the installation and production of the written report. Any subsequent repair work is priced on its own.
How long does an electrical safety test take?
A standard domestic inspection usually takes between two and four hours. The exact time depends on the number of circuits, accessibility of sockets and switches, and whether unusual wiring arrangements are uncovered during testing.
Do landlords legally require an EICR?
Yes. Private landlords in England must ensure electrical installations in rental properties are inspected and tested at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. A copy of the completed report must be provided to tenants.
What happens if the electrical inspection fails?
If issues classified as C1 or C2 are detected, the report will be marked as unsatisfactory. We list these items clearly and provide a separate written price for the necessary remedial work to bring the installation up to safety standards.
Will the power be turned off during testing?
Yes. Power must be switched off to carry out dead testing on cables and consumer unit components safely. We isolate circuits individually where possible and keep total power disruption as brief as we can.
