EICR & electrical safety certificates in Gloucester
An EICR is a full inspection and test of a property's wiring, sockets, consumer unit and earthing, and Gloucester's mix of housing makes them well worth having. The Victorian and inter-war terraces around Kingsholm, Tredworth, Barton and Linden often hide tired wiring and old consumer units, while the family stock in Longlevens, Hucclecote and Abbeymead and the newer estates at Kingsway and Quedgeley each have their own quirks. An EICR is the only reliable way to know what condition an installation is really in.
As a NICEIC Approved Contractor we inspect and test every accessible circuit and give you a clear report with a plain-English summary, not just a list of codes. If anything comes back as C1 or C2 we explain the risk and what it takes to put right, with a fair fixed price. If the 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.
Every circuit tested
A methodical inspection and test of the board, 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, with no invented faults to pad the invoice.
Your questions, answered
How long does an EICR take in a Gloucester home?
Most homes take a few hours, depending on the number of circuits and how accessible everything is. Older terraces around Tredworth or Barton with more added-on wiring can take a little longer, and we will give you a clear idea when we book it in.
Do I need an EICR to sell my house?
It is not always a legal requirement to sell, but buyers, mortgage lenders and solicitors increasingly ask for one, and a clean report removes a common sticking point. We will advise honestly whether one is worth doing.
What if the 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.
