EICR services from JD Electricals

EICR in Rooksdown

JD Electricals carries out EICR testing in Rooksdown. The visit starts with the fixed installation that can be inspected on the day, using the held stock around Rooksdown Avenue.

“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 testing pricing

Our pricing covers a complete inspection and written report for your domestic electrical installation. The final price reflects the size and complexity of your electrical system.

  • The price covers testing all accessible circuits and providing the written electrical report.
  • The number of consumer units and total circuits across the property determines the cost.
  • Remedial repairs for issues identified during testing are quoted separately.

What happens during an electrical safety check

We inspect and test the electrical system with minimal disruption, testing each circuit systematically and going through the written results with you.

  1. 01

    Visual assessment and access

    We walk through the property to locate the consumer unit, meter position, main earthing terminals and accessible switches and sockets. Power is managed carefully so parts of the home remain active whenever practical.

  2. 02

    Instrument testing at the consumer unit

    We carry out live and dead tests on each circuit at the board. This step checks continuity, insulation resistance and correct trip times on residual current devices, highlighting any circuit defects or deterioration.

  3. 03

    Review of findings and paperwork

    Before packing up, we explain what was found across the installation. We compile the condition report detailing observations and standard safety codes, giving you an official record of the electrical condition.

Frequently asked questions about EICRs

Common questions about domestic electrical installation condition reports, testing procedures and safety certificates for homes and rental properties.

How often does a landlord need an EICR?+

Under rental regulations in England, private rental properties must have a valid electrical condition report carried out at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy if the previous certificate has expired. We record the inspection date on the report so you know exactly when the next test is required.

— James Dunn

How long does an electrical inspection take?+

The time required depends on the number of circuits, consumer units and overall size of the home. A typical house with one consumer unit usually takes a morning to inspect and test thoroughly, while larger properties with multiple distribution boards require additional time.

— James Dunn

Will the electricity need to be turned off during testing?+

Yes, the power must be turned off to conduct dead testing and verify insulation resistance safely. We isolate individual circuits in stages wherever possible, keeping power interruptions as brief and manageable as we can while testing takes place.

What happens if a circuit fails the electrical inspection?+

If testing reveals an issue, it receives a standard code such as C1 for danger present or C2 for potentially dangerous. We explain the finding clearly on the report and provide a separate written quote for remedial work so you can review the details.

Do you test flats as well as houses?+

Yes, we carry out electrical condition reports on flats, apartments and houses across Rooksdown and the wider Basingstoke area. Each individual dwelling with its own consumer unit receives a dedicated inspection and report.

What paperwork do I receive after the inspection?+

You receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report that details the condition of the consumer unit, earthing arrangements and all tested circuits. The document states whether the installation is satisfactory and notes any observed defects with official condition codes.
