Inspections that tell you where you stand
An EICR is a full inspection and test of the fixed installation. In Newhaven we see everything from original Victorian wiring to new riverside flats, so we tailor the inspection to the property and the way it is used.
For landlords, a satisfactory report is a legal requirement at least every five years. For buyers, it shows what you are taking on before you commit. For homeowners, it is a sensible check every ten years.
You get a clear written report with each observation coded, and a quote for any work needed. As emergency electricians, we can usually complete C1 and C2 remedials soon after the inspection.

EICRs in Newhaven: questions answered
How much notice do you need for an EICR in Newhaven?
We can usually arrange an inspection quickly, and will work to your deadline where we can.
Do you inspect HMOs?
Yes. HMOs take longer because of the number of circuits and rooms, and we plan the visit with your tenants in mind.
What does FI mean on a report?
Further investigation. Something could not be fully checked during the inspection and needs looking into before that part of the report can be relied on.
Can you do the remedial work as well?
Yes. We quote for any C1 and C2 work and provide written confirmation once it is complete.
Will my tenants lose power for long?
Only for short spells while each circuit is tested. We let them know before switching anything off.
