EICR in Old Basing
EICR testing in Old Basing, from £200, for the older village houses where covers come off without disturbing the fabric, and for the newer estate homes at Lychpit and Crabtree Way.
“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.”

Pricing for electrical inspections
Inspection charges are transparent and confirmed before we arrive, covering all necessary visual checks, meter testing and paperwork production.
- The price covers testing accessible circuits, consumer unit checks and issuing the completed report.
- Property size, total number of consumer units and overall circuit count determine the final inspection price.
- Remedial repairs for any identified faults are not included in the inspection price and receive separate written quotations.
EICR testing for homes and rental properties
- An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks whether the fixed wiring, accessories and consumer unit in a domestic property remain safe for continued use.
- Private landlords require an inspection before tenants move into a property and must renew the paperwork at scheduled intervals. We carry out dead and live tests across every accessible circuit to confirm whether the wiring meets required safety benchmarks for letting.
- Mortgage lenders, conveyancing solicitors and buyers frequently request an assessment of the wiring prior to exchanging contracts. An inspection details any ungrounded outlets, aged cables or outdated fuse boards so you understand the true condition of the installation.
- Substantial alterations, such as an extended living space, replacement kitchen or updated consumer unit, place new demands on fixed wiring. We test each connected run back to the board to verify that altered circuits operate safely alongside existing wiring.
Electrical inspection condition reports in Old Basing
- JD Electricals carries out comprehensive domestic wiring checks throughout Old Basing, providing straightforward explanations and written documentation for every visited property.
- We inspect main switchgear, circuit breakers, residual current devices and earthing arrangements at the board. Testing verifies that protective devices trip within required millisecond limits under simulated fault conditions.
- Switches, light points, fused connection units and wall sockets receive hands-on checks. We uncover loose terminal connections, burnt plastics or incorrectly matched conductors across properties along Hatch Lane and Park Lane.
- Every discovered deviation receives a standard observation code detailing urgency. Issues posing immediate or potential risk are identified alongside sensible recommendations for improvements, giving a clear summary of the installation status.
What happens during an electrical safety check
A structured inspection method ensures thorough testing of every accessible circuit while keeping domestic disruption to a minimum.
- 01
Arrival and initial review
The visit begins with a walk round to confirm the location of consumer units, meters, outbuilding supplies and major appliances. We identify which areas require temporary power isolation and plan testing stages accordingly.
- 02
Dead testing and circuit isolation
With specific circuits safely isolated, instrument testing measures continuity of protective conductors, ring circuit continuity and insulation resistance between live conductors and earth to detect hidden wire damage.
- 03
Live functional and trip checks
Restoring power enables testing of earth fault loop impedance and residual current device trip times. These live measurements establish whether circuit breakers cut power quickly enough in the event of an electrical fault.
- 04
Results review and documentation
Before departing, we explain test observations directly and outline the overall result. Completed inspection paperwork is compiled to serve as your formal property record for letting, insurance or sales.

Frequently asked questions about EICRs
Common queries regarding domestic electrical safety reports, testing requirements and remedial work.
What is an EICR?+
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is an assessment of the fixed wiring, consumer unit and electrical accessories in a property. It identifies overloaded circuits, shock risks, earthing deficiencies and damaged components through visual checks and meter testing.
— James Dunn
Do private landlords need an EICR by law?+
Yes. Private landlords in England must ensure rental homes have a valid electrical inspection carried out at least every five years, or on a change of tenancy if required. A copy must be provided to tenants and retained for letting records.
— James Dunn
How long does an electrical safety test take?+
A standard domestic property typically takes between two and four hours to test thoroughly. Properties with higher circuit counts, outbuildings, detached garages or multiple consumer units require additional time to complete all instrument checks.
What happens if my electrical installation fails?+
If defects are found, they are classified using standard codes such as C1 for immediate danger or C2 for potential danger. We detail these findings clearly and provide a separate written price for the necessary remedial repairs.
Will my electricity be turned off during the test?+
Yes. Circuits must be switched off to perform dead electrical testing on insulation resistance and conductor continuity. We isolate sections systematically throughout the visit so power is not off across the entire property the whole time.
Do you test apartments and flats as well as houses?+
Yes. We inspect domestic flats, converted apartments and houses across Old Basing and surrounding towns, checking the internal distribution equipment and wiring within the individual dwelling.
