We carry out dead and live tests across every accessible circuit to confirm whether the wiring meets required safety benchmarks for letting. ### Homebuyers and sellers 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 An inspection details any ungrounded outlets, aged cables or outdated fuse boards so you understand the true condition of the installation. ### Post-renovation testing 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. ### Periodic residential safety checks Over time, domestic cabling deteriorates from heat, mechanical damage or loose terminations. Booking an inspection identifies worn insulation, overloaded components and broken accessories before they produce nuisance tripping or personal risk. ## 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. ### Checking the consumer unit and protective gear 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. ### Inspecting accessible fittings and cables 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. ### Detailed fault coding 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. ### Separately itemised remedials When damaged accessories or outdated components lead to an unsatisfactory outcome, corrective tasks are itemised on their own. We explain required fixes plainly without adding unapproved charges or altering the agreed inspection cost. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Why choose JD Electricals for safety testing We concentrate on domestic properties, providing direct communication, neat workmanship and clear written documentation on every job.

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. ### 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. ## Electrical testing across Old Basing neighbourhoods JD Electricals carries out landlord and domestic safety inspections throughout Old Basing, including properties along The Street, Byfleet Avenue, Cavalier Road, Belle Vue Road and Crabtree Way. ## Additional electrical services in Old Basing Alongside landlord and homeowner safety reports, we carry out consumer unit upgrades, complete rewires, additional socket additions and indoor or outdoor lighting installations. - [Electrician in Old Basing](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-old-basing): Electrician in Old Basing and Lychpit for EICRs, rewiring, consumer units and EV chargers, with access and cable routes assessed first. - [EICR (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/eicr): EICR testing from JD Electricals in Basingstoke.
