Professional EICR testing in Portsmouth from certified electricians. Landlord certificates, homeowner inspections, and full electrical safety reports
When it comes to electrical safety in your Portsmouth property, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essential. Whether you’re a landlord meeting legal requirements, a homeowner ensuring your family’s safety, or a business owner maintaining compliance, our qualified electricians provide comprehensive EICR testing throughout Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.
Our NICEIC registered electricians conduct thorough electrical inspections to assess the condition of your property’s electrical installations. We test all circuits, wiring, consumer units, and fixed electrical equipment to identify any potential hazards, deterioration, or non-compliance with current regulations. Each inspection is carried out to BS 7671 wiring regulations standards, ensuring you receive accurate, reliable results.
Based in Portsmouth, we understand the unique challenges of the area’s diverse property stock—from historic homes in Old Portsmouth to modern developments in Gunwharf Quays, Victorian terraces in Southsea, and everything in between. Our local expertise means we’re familiar with common electrical issues affecting Portsmouth properties and can provide practical, cost-effective solutions. With flexible scheduling, competitive pricing, and same-day certificate delivery, we make EICR testing straightforward and hassle-free.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed assessment of your property’s electrical safety. During the inspection, our qualified electrician will examine and test your entire electrical installation, including the consumer unit (fuse box), all circuits, wiring, earthing and bonding arrangements, light fittings, sockets, and switches.
The process involves both visual inspection and comprehensive testing using specialist equipment. We check for overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, inadequate earthing, outdated components, and any damage or deterioration that could pose a safety risk. The inspection typically takes 3-4 hours for an average domestic property, though larger homes or commercial premises may require more time.
EICR testing is legally required for all private landlords in Portsmouth every five years, or at each change of tenancy if sooner. This applies to all rental properties including houses, flats, HMOs, and student accommodation. Portsmouth City Council actively enforces these regulations, and failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
Homeowners aren’t legally required to have EICRs, but they’re strongly recommended every 10 years, or before purchasing a property, after significant electrical work, or if you notice any electrical problems. An EICR provides peace of mind that your family home is electrically safe and can be required by insurance companies or mortgage lenders.
