What happens on the day
An inspection visit follows a set procedure to check the wiring without unnecessary disruption. Circuits are methodically tested and recorded, concluding with an explanation of any issues identified.
- Initial arrival and visual inspectionThe visit begins with a walk round to confirm the location of the consumer unit, meters, and accessible accessories. A visual check identifies broken faceplates, signs of overheating, or damaged cables before instruments are connected.
- Dead and live circuit testingPower to the consumer unit is isolated to test the resistance, earthing and bonding of each circuit. Live testing follows to verify that protective devices, such as circuit breakers and residual current devices, operate within correct limits.
- Review of the test findingsBefore departing the property, the findings are reviewed directly with the customer. Any observed issues or damaged components are explained in straightforward terms, clarifying the impact on overall safety.

“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.”

WhatsAppWhy is an EICR required for rental properties?
Landlords are required to maintain safe electrical installations for private tenancies in England. An inspection verifies that circuits, earthing and consumer units meet safety standards, and provides a dated report showing when the next test is required.
How long does an electrical safety test take?
The time needed depends on the number of circuits and the general layout of the building. A typical domestic home usually takes a few hours to complete, while larger properties with multiple consumer units require more time to test thoroughly.
What happens if the property does not pass the electrical test?
Any safety issues or non-compliant circuits are identified with standard observation codes on the report. We explain these items clearly and provide a separate written price for the necessary remedial work, without unexpected additions to your bill.
Will the electricity need to be switched off during testing?
Power must be disconnected from individual circuits and the main consumer unit during dead testing. Power is isolated in sections where practical to reduce disruption, but brief periods without electricity are required for accurate meter readings.
Are appliances checked as part of an EICR?
The report covers the fixed electrical installation, which includes the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, and fixed connections to appliances like cookers or showers. Portable appliances with plugs are not included within an EICR.
