Electrical Testing & Inspection (EICR)

[ OVERVIEW ]

Electrical safety starts with knowing your installation is in good condition. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection that assesses the safety and integrity of your electrical systems and confirms whether they meet current standards.

Fletch Thomas Electrical provides professional electrical testing and inspection for landlords, businesses, site managers and homeowners. We deliver clear reporting, practical advice, and reliable follow-up support so you can stay compliant and confident in the safety of your property.

What is an EICR?

An EICR is an assessment of the fixed electrical installation, including distribution boards, wiring, sockets, switches and other permanent electrical components. The inspection highlights any deterioration, damage, overloading, or non-compliance that could pose a risk.

At the end of the inspection, you receive a report that includes observations, classifications, and recommendations. If remedial works are required, we can quote quickly and complete the work to bring the installation up to standard.

Who needs an EICR?

EICRs are essential for a wide range of properties and situations, including:

  • Commercial premises, offices, retail units and industrial sites

  • Landlords and rental properties

  • Property management companies and facilities teams

  • Schools, healthcare, hospitality and public buildings

  • Homeowners buying, selling, or renovating a property

If you manage multiple sites, we can help you plan testing schedules, reduce disruption, and keep compliance paperwork organised.

What our inspection covers

Every property is different, but a typical EICR includes:

• Visual inspection of the electrical installation

• Checks on consumer units and distribution boards

• Circuit identification and verification

• Testing of protective devices, earthing and bonding

• Assessment of wiring condition and potential faults

• Identification of safety risks and non-compliance issues

• Clear documentation and certification

Our approach is thorough, organised, and designed to minimise disruption while still meeting the requirements of a proper inspection.
