Landlord and… An EICR in Whitchurch is a full inspection and test of the wiring in your property, from £150. Older houses here have been altered many times, so every added circuit gets checked and recorded. ## How much does an EICR cost in Whitchurch? An EICR on a Whitchurch home starts at £150, covering the inspection, the testing of every circuit and the written certificate. - EICR (landlord electrical safety certificate): from £150 - The price follows the number of circuits, so a house with wiring added in layers takes longer than one on a single original installation. - Anything found is priced separately before it is done, with fault finding from £75/hr and a minor works certificate from £95. ## Who needs an EICR in Whitchurch An EICR is a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property, and it starts at £150. ### Landlords renting out a Whitchurch house You need a current EICR to let a property, and the certificate lists every circuit tested and codes anything that needs fixing. ### Buyers of an older house A survey does not test the wiring, so an EICR tells you what the additions made over the years are actually connected to. ### Owners with wiring added over time Extra sockets and lighting put in at different points are inspected as one installation, not as separate small jobs. ### Sellers of a period property The report gives the buyer a written record of the wiring condition before questions come up in the sale. ### Anyone whose last certificate has run out A rented home needs a new EICR every five years, and an older installation is worth testing sooner if it has never been inspected. ## What Whitchurch houses mean for an EICR Whitchurch is mostly period and older property, and that changes how long the inspection takes and what ends up on the certificate. ### Period houses around Church Street and Bell Street Property altered many times over gives more circuits to trace, and each one is identified before anything is tested. ### Wiring added in layers rather than in one go Where lighting and sockets went in at different times, each layer is inspected on its own and written up against the circuit it sits on. ### Original features and where cable can go Cable is run around original features instead of through them, so any remedial work is planned to leave the fabric alone. ### Older homes on Newbury Street and London Street Old and new cable often share a circuit, and the certificate records the condition of both rather than just the newest part. ## What happens on the day The EICR runs in three stages, from the first look at the installation to the certificate in your hand. ### Arrival and a look round the property We identify every circuit and note what has been added over the years before any testing begins. ### Testing circuit by circuit Circuits are isolated one at a time, so power goes off in stages rather than across the whole house at once. ### The certificate and what it says You get the EICR with each circuit recorded, a satisfactory or unsatisfactory result, and a code against anything needing attention. ## Why customers choose JD Electricals for an EICR You get a written price for a Whitchurch EICR before it goes in the diary, and careful testing on older wiring that has been added to over many years. What the result means, and what needs doing next, is explained plainly. ## Recent electrical work These photographs come from consumer units, rewires and lighting carried out for homeowners and landlords across every town we cover. ## EICR questions from Whitchurch customers The questions homeowners and landlords in Whitchurch ask most often before booking a test. ### What is an EICR? An EICR is an electrical installation condition report, a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property. It gives a satisfactory or unsatisfactory result and codes anything that needs work. It starts at £150. ### How often does a rented house need one? Every five years, or at a change of tenancy if that comes first. Your tenant gets a copy of the certificate. The test starts at £150. ### Will my old Whitchurch house fail because the wiring is old? No. Age on its own is not a fail, and the report records the condition of what is actually there. A house altered many times simply has more circuits to inspect and write up. ### What happens if the report comes back unsatisfactory? You get the codes against the circuits concerned and a separate written price for putting them right. Fault finding is from £75/hr, and a minor works certificate from £95 once the work is done. ### Will the power be off all day? No. Circuits are isolated one at a time, so the property loses power in stages while each circuit is tested. Everything is back on before we leave. ### Do you have to lift floors or disturb original features? No. Testing is done at the consumer unit and at the sockets, switches and fittings themselves. Where remedial cable is needed, it is run around original features rather than through them. ### Can I have an EICR before I buy a house here? Yes. A buyer can have the wiring tested before completion, which shows what the additions made over the years are connected to. It starts at £150. ## Where we test in Whitchurch We inspect homes across Whitchurch, including properties on Winchester Road and Test Road. ## Other electrical work in Whitchurch If the EICR turns something up, fault finding starts at £75/hr, a fuse box replacement at £650 and a full house rewire at £4,800. - [Electrician in Whitchurch](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-whitchurch): Electrician in Whitchurch for EICRs, faults, consumer units and rewiring, with alterations and inspection boundaries made clear first. - [EICR (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/eicr): EICR testing from JD Electricals in Basingstoke.
