EICR & Electrical Safety Testing in Hampshire

Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners and home buyers, with clear results and honest advice.

Electrical safety certificates

Know that your electrics are safe

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property. It checks for damage, wear, overloaded circuits, missing protection and anything that does not meet current safety standards.

We carry out EICRs across Hampshire for private landlords, letting agents, homeowners and people buying a home. You receive a clear report explaining what we found, and if any work is needed we give you a written quote to put it right.

A typical three-bedroom house takes around three to four hours. Larger properties, or homes with many circuits, can take longer.

In England, private landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years and give a copy of the report to their tenants.

C1 means danger is present and immediate action is needed. C2 means potentially dangerous and urgent remedial work is required. C3 means improvement is recommended. FI means further investigation is needed.

We explain each issue and give you a written quote for the remedial work. Once the work is complete we confirm it in writing, so you have the paperwork you need.
