EICR & electrical safety certificates in Cheltenham
An EICR, an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a full health check of the wiring, sockets, consumer unit and earthing in a property. Cheltenham's housing runs from Regency terraces around Montpellier and the Promenade to Victorian and Edwardian villas in Tivoli and Lansdown and post-war and modern homes out at Up Hatherley, Hesters Way and Benhall. Older stock in particular can hide tired wiring, missing earth bonding and undersized consumer units, and an EICR is the only way to know for certain what condition the installation is really in.
As a NICEIC Approved Contractor we inspect and test every accessible circuit, then give you a clear report with a plain-English summary rather than a wall of codes. If anything comes back as C1 or C2 we explain exactly what it means, what the risk is and what it takes to put right, with a fair fixed price. If your installation is sound we tell you that too, and you get the certificate you need for a sale, a mortgage, an insurer or your own peace of mind.

A methodical inspection and test of the consumer unit, circuits, earthing and bonding, not a quick visual glance.
A report you can read
Coded findings explained in plain English, so you know what is urgent, what is advisory and what is fine.
Fixed-price remedials
Anything flagged is quoted honestly up front, and we never invent faults to pad an invoice.
Your questions, answered
How long does an EICR take in a Cheltenham home?
Most homes take a few hours, depending on the number of circuits and how accessible everything is. Larger period properties around Montpellier or Pittville with more circuits can take longer, and we will give you a clear idea when we book it in.
How often should I get an EICR?
For an owner-occupied home every ten years is the usual guidance, or sooner if you are buying, selling or notice a problem. Rented homes have a five-yearly legal duty. We will advise honestly based on your property's age and condition.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
We explain each item, tell you what has to be done to make it satisfactory and give you one fixed price for the remedial work. Once the faults are put right we re-test and issue the certificate.
