Are you searching for a qualified electrician or an electrician near me to handle your safety certification? Welcome to 786 Electricals Limited, the one-stop solution for professional electrical inspection and testing across the whole of Leicester and Leicestershire.

Why an EICR is Essential for Your Safety
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essentially a "MOT for your home." Electricity is invisible, and wiring deteriorates over time. An EICR is the only way to detect hidden dangers like:
- Overloaded Circuits: Which can lead to electrical fires.
- Lack of Earthing: Which increases the risk of electric shocks.
- Degraded Insulation: Where wires become brittle and dangerous.
- DIY Hazards: Fixing mistakes made by unqualified "handymen" or previous owners.
By hiring a registered electrician from 786 Electricals Limited, you ensure that your fixed wiring, consumer unit, and protective bonding are tested against the latest BS 7671 safety requirements.

What’s Included in Our Electrical Inspection?
When you book a 786 Electricals Limited inspection, our local electrician performs a comprehensive check of your entire system:
- Consumer Unit (Fuse Board): Inspecting the age and safety of your protective devices (MCBs and RCDs).
- Visual Inspection: Checking for cracked sockets, burnt switches, and improper wiring routes.
- Dead Testing: Continuity and insulation resistance tests to check the health of the cables behind your walls.
- Live Testing: Checking that your RCDs trip fast enough to prevent a fatal shock.
- Digital Report: A full, coded breakdown (C1, C2, C3, and FI) sent directly to your inbox.
What’s Not Included: While we aim to be helpful, an EICR is an inspection, not a repair visit. If we find faults, we will provide a separate, no-obligation quote for the remedial work required to make the installation "Satisfactory."
Specialized Services for Every Property Owner
Landlord Electrical Testing (PRS Regulations)
Under the Private Rented Sector (PRS) 2025/2026 updates, landlords in Leicestershire must provide a "Satisfactory" EICR at least every 5 years. We work with private landlords and letting agents to ensure tenants are safe and owners are legally protected from massive fines.
Homebuyer & Seller Reports
Buying a new home? Don't rely on a basic survey. A Homebuyers Electrical Report from 786 Electricals Limited identifies if the property needs a full rewire before you sign the contract, potentially saving you thousands of pounds.
DIY Observation & Safety Audits
Many Leicestershire homes have been modified by previous owners. We often find dangerous "DIY" wiring in extensions, garages, and lofts. Our qualified electricians specialize in spotting these hazards and bringing them back to code.
Case Study: Why a "Good Electrician" Matters
Recently, our team was called for a routine EICR in a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in Leicester. The homeowner had noticed a "slight smell of burning" near the fuse box.
Our registered electrician discovered a loose connection in the main switch that had begun to carbonize the plastic. Had this been left another month, it would have likely resulted in a significant house fire. This is why periodic testing is vital—it catches the "silent killers" before they manifest.
