EICR & Electrical Inspection Services

From domestic condition reports to commercial inspections and landlord compliance — we provide thorough, certified electrical testing across the Fylde Coast.

Domestic EICR

Full Electrical Installation Condition Report for homeowners. We inspect and test every circuit, check your consumer unit, earthing, bonding, and accessories, and report on the overall condition of your installation with clear observation codes.

Landlord Electrical Certificates

Legal requirement for all rental properties in England. Landlords must have a valid EICR before new tenancies and every 5 years thereafter. We provide fast turnaround and clear reports that satisfy letting agents and local authorities.

Commercial EICR

Comprehensive electrical inspection and testing for offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, and industrial premises. We work around your business hours to minimise disruption.

Home Buyer Reports

Buying a property? An EICR gives you a clear picture of the electrical installation's condition before you commit. We identify any defects, estimate remedial costs, and give you the information you need to negotiate with confidence.

Remedial Work

If your EICR identifies C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, we carry out all necessary remedial work promptly. We then re-test and re-issue your certificate with a satisfactory outcome.

Observation Codes Explained

C1 means danger is present and requires immediate action. C2 means a fault is potentially dangerous and needs urgent attention. C3 is a recommendation for improvement. FI means further investigation is needed. We explain every observation in plain English.

Why EICRs Matter

Why Electrical Testing Is Essential

Electrical installations deteriorate over time. Connections loosen, insulation degrades, and faults can develop invisibly behind walls and under floors. An EICR is the only way to verify the safety of your installation and catch problems before they become dangerous.

For landlords, an EICR is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000 and potential liability for any injuries caused by faulty electrics.

The most common findings from EICRs include outdated consumer units, missing earthing, lack of RCD protection, and deteriorated wiring that may require a partial or full rewire.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection and test of your property's fixed electrical installation. A qualified electrician checks the consumer unit, circuits, earthing, bonding, sockets, switches, and wiring for deterioration, defects, and non-compliance with current safety standards. You receive a detailed report with observation codes.
For rented properties, the law requires an EICR every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. For owner-occupied homes, we recommend every 10 years, or after purchasing a property, completing a renovation, or if you suspect a fault. Commercial properties typically require testing every 5 years.
Yes. Since June 2020, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations require landlords to have a valid EICR for all tenanted properties. It must be renewed every 5 years and a copy provided to tenants within 28 days. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
A domestic EICR for a typical 3-bed home in Blackpool or Lytham St Annes costs from £150–£250 depending on the number of circuits and property size. Commercial EICR costs vary based on the installation size. Contact us for a specific quote.
A domestic EICR for a standard 3-bed property takes approximately 2–3 hours. Larger or more complex installations take longer. We need access to your consumer unit and all rooms, including loft spaces.
If we identify C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, the report is issued as “unsatisfactory”. We will explain exactly what needs fixing, provide a quote for the remedial work, and schedule it as quickly as possible. Once the remedial work is complete, we re-test and re-issue your certificate as “satisfactory”.
We cover Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Cleveleys, Thornton, Fleetwood, Kirkham, Preston, and the wider Fylde Coast and Lancashire area. Call us on 01253 795050 or use our contact form to book your EICR.
