Your home’s electrical system may appear to be working fine, but unseen issues can pose serious risks. Over time, wiring degrades, circuits overload, and safety regulations evolve—meaning what was once safe may no longer meet legal standards.
A residential EICR test identifies hidden faults before they cause electrical failures, fires, or shocks. It’s a vital step in protecting your family, your home, and your finances.
During an EICR test, our expert electricians assess every part of your home’s electrical system to ensure it meets BS 7671 safety standards.
✔️ Wiring & Electrical Circuits – Detecting outdated or faulty wiring.
✔️ Fuse Board & Consumer Unit – Checking for compliance with modern regulations.
✔️ Sockets & Light Fittings – Ensuring they are safe and damage-free.
✔️ Earthing & Bonding – Preventing electric shocks by ensuring proper grounding.
✔️ Every 10 years – Regular testing keeps your home compliant.
✔️ Before selling your home – Buyers and mortgage lenders often request an EICR certificate.
