What happens on the day
Testing involves an inspection of visible wiring followed by dead and live instrument tests at the consumer unit. Power is turned off in stages so circuits can be examined safely.
- Initial walkthrough and visual inspectionThe visit starts with a walk through the property to locate the consumer unit, meters and connected accessories. Sockets, switches, light fittings and earthing conductors are checked visually for signs of thermal damage, cracking or loose fittings.
- Instrument testing at the consumer unitSpecific test instruments measure insulation resistance, continuity of protective conductors and earth fault loop impedance across every circuit. Circuits are isolated during these dead and live tests to record accurate readings.
- Accessible accessory checksA sample of socket outlets, light switches and connected points are opened and inspected directly. We confirm correct polarity, check the tightness of terminations and test residual current devices to verify trip times.
- Explaining the results before departureBefore leaving the house, we discuss the readings and point out any observed defects. You receive a clear summary of how the installation performed before the formal report is issued.

“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.”

WhatsAppDo private landlords in England need an EICR?
Yes. Regulations require private landlords to have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. A copy of the completed report must be provided to tenants and retained for your records.
How long does an electrical safety test take?
A standard domestic inspection typically takes a morning to complete. Larger homes, properties with numerous circuits or premises with multiple consumer units take longer because every circuit must be tested individually.
What happens if faults are found on the certificate?
If defects are discovered, they are marked on the report with standard condition codes indicating their severity. We provide a separate written price for any required remedial repairs rather than adding costs onto the inspection fee.
Will the electricity be turned off during the test?
Yes, the mains electricity must be switched off for parts of the testing process. Power is isolated in sections to minimise disruption, but instruments require de-energised circuits to measure insulation and earth paths safely.
Can I get an EICR before buying a house?
Yes. Prospective buyers often book an inspection before exchanging contracts to identify any wiring issues or necessary consumer unit upgrades. The resulting report gives you a clear record of the installation before purchasing.
