Service Specific FAQs:

Are my electrics safe?

The only real way of telling whether your electrics are completely safe is by having a thorough health check on the electrics (EICR) carried out by an experienced electrician. We specialise in these - please find out more here.

How Much Does An EICR Cost?

We believe in conducting thorough EICRs and not just tickling the electrical installation. This is all about how many resources you want to throw and maintaining and monitoring the installation to ensure it is safe. We tend to charge from £650 for conducting our thorough EICRs on standard properties up to a 3 bed semi. We must warn clients not to go cheap when they order EICRs.

How Good Are Your Thorough EICRs? (thorough once-over, 80% EICRs)

We believe in being the best, and having EICRs as our number 1 specialist service, we take pride in what we bring to the table for our customers. Commissioning us to undertake one of our Techmeisters Tests means all lights switches, sockets and other switches come off the wall, and all lights are checked. As are cooker supplies, showers and the rest. We try our best to not only check, but update and improve your electrical installation to the point it's as good as it can be since it was last re-wired. Find out more here.

What Causes The Tingling / Buzzing Sensation I'm getting?

A light tingling or buzzing feeling you might get from metal switches, lights, or metalwork just at kitchen sinks, pipes, or water out of your taps & shower may be down to lack of, or improper, earthing, and should be investigated with the seriousness of a C1 fault.

Do I Need An EICR?

You may need an EICR conducted if you own a property or premises that has an electrical installation - which most do. Although landlords and employers HAVE to have an EICR, we would argue everyone should have an EICR at regular intervals to keep on the safe side of BS7671, the electricity at work Act, and, of course, HSE (who carry a big hammer of the law and can swing it very hard).

What Happens On An EICR?

An EICR is essentially a health check on the electrics, and involves dismantling some of the installation (sockets, lights, fusebox, etc) to ascertain the condition and safety, and its suitability for continued use. For more information, check out our blog titled: What does an electrician do on an EICR?

What Can An EICR Pick Up On?

Incorrect, Outdated, or poorly functioning protective devices: Designed to protect you and your home from shocks and fires.
Outdated wiring: Older homes might have wiring that doesn't meet current safety standards.
Overloaded circuits: Too many appliances plugged into one circuit can pose a fire risk.
Earthing faults: Issues with earthing can increase the risk of electric shock.
Damaged or loose wiring: This can be a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
Faulty electrical fittings: Worn-out sockets, switches, or light fittings should be replaced for safety.

How Long Does An EICR Take?

As already mentioned, we don't like to do our EICRs in half measures. You can expect us to be looking at your property for a minimum of 3 hours. Depending on the size and complexity of the property, this could be more.
For Commercial sites, this might turn into days, or over a longer period if we are going in out of hours.

I'm purchasing a property, do I need an EICR?

If you're purchasing the property, we thoroughly recommend having at least a standard EICR performed at the property, to highlight any present, and potential future issues. You could then opt to have a more thorough one conducted once the property is in your name.

I'm Selling A Property, Do I Need An EICR?

In the past 18 months or so, we've noticed sellers coming to us for a lastminute.com EICR because the seller has asked for one, usually a few days or weeks leading up to the selling date. We tell our clients this: To avoid the extra stress, tell the buyer well ahead of time to commission their own EICR, with an electrician on their own choosing, that way there is no chance of this being dropped in your lap at the final hour, and there is no come back on you at a later date.
