An EICR is a comprehensive safety assessment of the fixed electrical wiring in your property. After the inspection, you will receive a certificate showing a result of either “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory,” with any defects or recommendations clearly noted. We will also provide a free, no-obligation quote for any repair work needed to resolve the issues found. Once the remedial work is completed, we will issue you a new Satisfactory certificate. We can arrange your EICR at a time that works for you, including weekend appointments.
