EICR Leicester: Why Choosing the Right Registered Electrician is Critical

A Litt • 1 February 2026

EICR Leicester: Your Definitive Guide to Professional Electrical Safety & Testing


Are you searching for a local electrician or an electrician near me because you are uncertain about your electrics? Whether you are a landlord requiring a landlord safety report, a homebuyer needing an electrical safety check, or a business owner looking for a registered electrician, choosing the right professional is the most important decision you will make for your property's safety.


At 786 Electricals Limited (786 Limited), we provide a one-stop solution for electrical inspection and testing (EICR) across the whole of Leicester and Leicestershire. With transparent pricing and NAPIT-approved expertise, we ensure your property remains safe and compliant.


Why the "Right" Electrician Matters for Your EICR

It is a common misconception that any electrician can carry out an electrical inspection and test (EICR). In reality, many "Domestic Installers" are registered for installations but are not assessed for the complex scope of periodic inspection and testing.


The Importance of Using a Registered and Approved Electrician

Choosing 786 Electricals Limited (NAPIT Membership: 14212) means you are hiring a qualified electrician specifically authorized to perform safety reports.

  • Scheme Authorization: Many installers are not authorized under their scheme to produce EICRs. We are fully vetted and assessed for this specific service.
  • Legal Protection: An EICR from an unauthorized source may be rejected by councils, insurers, or letting agents.
  • Expert Diagnosis: We identify C1 (Danger Present), C2 (Potentially Dangerous), and C3 (Improvement Recommended) faults with 100% accuracy.


Precision You Can Trust: Calibrated Testing Equipment

A good electrician is only as accurate as their tools. To ensure your electrical safety check is valid, the equipment used must be precision-engineered and regularly maintained.

Why We Prioritize Meter Calibration

At 786 Electricals Limited, we are committed to total transparency. We ensure all our meters are calibrated and we are prepared to prove this to you on request.

  • Why it matters: If an electrician’s tester is not calibrated, the "Pass" result they give your house could be factually wrong.
  • Our Promise: We maintain up-to-date calibration certificates for all our Multi-Function Testers (MFTs), ensuring that the safety readings for your earthing and trip speeds are scientifically sound.


Transparent EICR Pricing for Leicestershire

We believe in fair, fixed pricing for every homeowner and landlord. No hidden fees, just honest work from an amazing electrician.

  • 1 Bedroom Property: £140
  • 2 Bedroom Property: £160
  • 3 Bedroom Property: £180
  • HMOs & Commercial: Custom quotes for larger Leicestershire properties.


The True Value of a Professional EICR

When people search for electrical inspection and testing, they often look for the lowest price. However, the real value of a 786 Limited report includes:

  1. Fire Prevention: Identifying loose connections or "electric fur" (carbonization) before they start a fire.
  2. Life Saving: Ensuring your RCDs trip in the required milliseconds to prevent fatal shocks.
  3. DIY Detection: Identifying dangerous alterations made by previous owners or unqualified handymen.
  4. Insurance Compliance: Providing the high-level documentation required to keep your building insurance valid.


Uncertain About Your Electrics? What to Do Next

If you notice burning smells, flickering lights, or haven't had an inspection in over 5 years, you may need an emergency electrician or a formal safety audit.

Who carries out the EICRs? At 786 Electricals Limited, only our most experienced, registered electricians handle inspections. We don't send trainees to do an expert’s job. We cover the entire county, including Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Wigston, and Oadby.


How the Process Works:

  • Step 1: Get in touch for a fixed-price quote based on your property size.
  • Step 2: Our local electrician arrives and performs a thorough physical and electrical test.
  • Step 3: We verify our findings against BS 7671 standards.
  • Step 4: You receive a professional, digital NAPIT-certified report.

Book Your Registered Leicestershire Electrician
