Our Commitment to Transparency and Clarity

We understand that an EICR can seem like a dense, complex engineering document. That's why we focus on two core commitments:

1. Transparent Pricing, Always

To demonstrate our commitment to honesty and trust from the outset, we publish all of our EICR service prices directly online. This means you know the cost upfront before you even book, eliminating surprises and unnecessary sales calls.

2. Your Personal 15-Minute Consultation

If your property's EICR raises any concerns (i.e., it receives an 'Unsatisfactory' rating), we don't just email the document. We believe in breaking down the technical findings to a human level.


Our Promise: We will typically schedule a 15-minute phone call with you to personally go through the results, explain any non-compliance issues (C1, C2, C3 codes), and make the next steps clear and understandable.

3. Photographic Proof of Non-Compliance

To ensure complete accountability and clarity, every EICR we issue includes photographic evidence of the specific issues of non-compliance found during the inspection. This proof verifies the need for any suggested remedial work and gives you full confidence in our findings.


Your Top EICR Questions Answered

1. If my property passes, how long before I get my electrical certificate?

When your installation is deemed Satisfactory, we move quickly to finalise your documentation.


Answer: If your property passes, your final EICR certificate is typically prepared and emailed to you from the site or, at the latest, by the evening of the inspection day.

2. If the property fails, would I get a quote for the remedial works?

If the inspection results in an Unsatisfactory rating due to C1 or C2 faults, immediate action is required.


Answer: Yes, absolutely. If your EICR results in an Unsatisfactory rating, we will provide you with a detailed, no-obligation quote for the essential remedial works alongside the report. This quote is essential to understand the cost and steps required to achieve a Satisfactory rating.

3. Would my EICR still be valid if the property has been brought up to a satisfactory level, but still has issues with water leaks, rodents, or infestations?

An EICR assesses the state of your electrical system. External factors like water ingress or pests pose an ongoing risk that invalidates electrical safety.


Answer: The EICR validity requires a safe operating environment. If underlying building faults like a leaking roof, pipe leak, or active infestation are present, the EICR will not be considered truly valid or safe unless the source of the external damage is also fixed. Water or pests can rapidly damage repaired electrical systems, creating new, immediate hazards. For long-term compliance and safety, both the electrical faults and the external issues that threaten the installation must be resolved.
