What happens on the day
An electrical condition assessment follows a structured sequence of visual observations and instrument measurements, requiring momentary power shutdowns across individual consumer unit circuits.
- Visual examination of switchgear and fittingsThe visit begins at the main intake position, checking meter tails, earthing conductors, consumer units and internal component conditions. A representative sample of socket outlets, light fittings, wall switches and fused spurs throughout the property is opened for physical inspection.
- Dead testing of isolated circuitsPower is isolated systematically to allow safe dead testing. Calibrated test instruments measure conductor continuity, earth fault loop paths and insulation resistance between live conductors and earth, identifying cracked cables, moisture ingress or crossed neutrals.
- Live operational and trip-time testingWith supply restored, live testing confirms system voltage, polarity and external earth loop impedance. Residual current devices and circuit breakers are tripped using specialised instruments to measure disconnection times within specified legal thresholds.
- On-site summary and written documentationBefore departing, we walk through any immediate concerns or observations discovered during testing. A completed electrical installation condition report detailing test readings, circuit details and standard observation codes follows promptly in digital format.

WhatsAppHow long will an electrical inspection take to complete?
A standard home with a single consumer unit usually takes between two and four hours to test thoroughly. Larger properties, premises with secondary distribution boards or commercial layouts require additional time depending on the number of installed circuits.
Will the power be turned off during the test?
Yes. Power must be switched off in sections to conduct dead tests on internal conductors. Live power is restored intermittently for operational testing. We plan isolation steps in advance to protect freezers and sensitive home technology.
How often should an EICR be renewed for rental housing?
Landlords in England must have private rental properties inspected at least every five years, or sooner if a shorter period is specified on the previous report. A copy of the new report must be provided to existing tenants within thirty days.
Does a C3 observation code mean my installation has failed?
No. A code C3 signifies that an improvement is recommended to align older wiring with modern standards, but it is not inherently hazardous. Only C1, C2 or FI observations make an electrical condition report unsatisfactory.
What happens if an inspection receives an unsatisfactory outcome?
When C1, C2 or FI items are found, the written report outlines the exact issues. We supply a clear written quote for the required remedial work, and once the faults are rectified, the updated compliance paperwork is issued.
