EICR across Old Basing
We serve Old Basing from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
A structured inspection method ensures thorough testing of every accessible circuit while keeping domestic disruption to a minimum.
- Arrival and initial reviewThe 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.
- Dead testing and circuit isolationWith 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.
- Live functional and trip checksRestoring 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.
- Results review and documentationBefore 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.

“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 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.
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.
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.
