A clear picture of your wiring
An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the condition of your consumer unit, wiring and fittings against the current regulations. On the coast we pay particular attention to outdoor circuits and corrosion, which are common sources of problems here.
Every observation is coded so you know what matters. Danger present items (C1) are made safe there and then, potentially dangerous items (C2) need prompt work, and improvements (C3) are left to your judgement.
Holiday let owners and landlords will find our reports easy to file. If anything needs fixing we quote for it before we leave, and as emergency electricians we can make a dangerous fault safe there and then.

EICRs in Telscombe Cliffs: your questions
Do holiday lets in Telscombe Cliffs need an EICR?
The private rented sector rules apply to tenancies rather than short holiday stays, but many owners have an EICR done anyway to protect their guests and their insurance.
How long will an inspection of my bungalow take?
Usually a few hours, depending on the number of circuits and any outbuildings.
What if my report says unsatisfactory?
We explain what needs doing and quote for it. Once the work is complete, we issue the paperwork to show it has been put right.
Do you check outside lights and sockets too?
Yes. Outdoor circuits are part of the fixed installation, and on the coast they are often where problems start.
Can you inspect while tenants are in?
Yes. We arrange a time with them and keep the power interruptions short.
