EICR in Overton
EICR testing in Overton from £200, in a village of very mixed house ages where no single approach fits, so every test is set out around the property in front of us.
“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.”

Electrical inspection pricing in Overton
Pricing for an electrical installation condition report reflects the size of the installation and the number of circuits being tested. All fees are confirmed in writing prior to testing, with remedial work quoted separately.
- The price covers the complete inspection of accessible circuits and the provision of the written report.
- The number of consumer units and total circuits across the property determines the required testing time and cost.
- Repairs or remedial works identified during testing are not included and receive separate written quotations.
Electrical installation condition reports in Overton
- An electrical installation condition report evaluates the condition of domestic wiring, consumer units and accessories. JD Electricals inspects fixed wiring to check for wear, damage or installation faults, giving property owners clear written records.
- Landlords require a current inspection before a tenancy begins and at regular intervals throughout the rental term. The assessment covers consumer units, circuit breakers, switches and power points to confirm that domestic electrical systems meet required safety standards.
- Buyers and solicitors frequently request an electrical condition report before property sales conclude. Inspecting the installation uncovers aged wiring, deteriorated insulation or outdated consumer units prior to exchanging contracts.
- Following significant building alterations, such as an extension, a kitchen replacement or a consumer unit upgrade, an inspection verifies that connected circuits operate safely alongside existing electrical infrastructure.
Electrical safety inspections across Overton
- Periodic electrical checks are required across Overton for private rentals, domestic sales and ongoing property upkeep. Testing covers houses and flats throughout the village, assessing electrical safety at the consumer unit and across every circuit.
- Landlords managing domestic rentals along Winchester Street and London Road require valid electrical paperwork. Consumer units, light fittings and power sockets are checked to confirm tenant safety and deliver full documentation.
- Properties near Station Road and Bridge Street undergo thorough testing to assess consumer units, fixed electrical connections and earthing arrangements ahead of tenancy changes or property sales.
- Homes in Southington Lane and Quidhampton receive methodical testing on fixed electrical circuits. Each circuit is tested at the consumer unit and across accessories to identify wear or installation defects.
What happens during an EICR visit
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.
- 01
Initial arrival and visual inspection
The 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.
- 02
Dead and live circuit testing
Power 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.
- 03
Review of the test findings
Before 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.

Frequently asked questions about EICRs
Common questions about electrical installation condition reports, legal obligations for rental properties, and the testing process for domestic properties in Overton.
Why 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.
— James Dunn
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.
— James Dunn
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.
How often should a homeowner arrange an electrical inspection?+
While rental properties typically require checks at every change of tenancy or every five years, homeowners are advised to inspect their fixed wiring every ten years, or sooner if purchasing an older property or undertaking substantial alterations.
