EICR certification in Bassingfield

If you’re a landlord or property agent in Bassingfield, you’re probably familiar with EICR certification and the legal obligation you bear. As all electrical installations at your rental property need to be inspected by a qualified electrician, you can rely on Definitive Electrical Solutions to provide an extensive inspection to identify any electrical faults or hazards to ensure all occupants at the property are safe.

As an EICR or electrical installation condition report is an inspection of electrical installations, our team will examine the fuse box, lighting fixtures, switches and plug sockets. Additional electrical features you may have at the property such as underfloor heating or an EV charger will also need to be inspected.

During the inspection our team of electricians try and identify whether all electrical systems are working correctly and do record any faults which carry high risks.

Definitive Electrical Solutions have years of experience so can tell very quickly if an electrical system poses a risk to the property or tenants, this can either be in the form of an electrical fire or electrocution.

A member of the team will conduct a visual inspection first to identify any signs of electrical wear and tear or degradation such as loose connections or frayed wires. To conduct the next stage, we also use state of the art testing tools to investigate concealed wiring and to measure the resistance of the earth conductors.

Legally, an EICR must be conducted every 5 years, sooner if any rewiring or electrical damage has taken place. Any faults we do find are assigned a classification code which is listed on the report we generate upon completion.

Codes C1, C2 and FI( further investigation) would suggest there are highly dangerous faults so the property cannot gain a satisfactory outcome. We of course would secure the property and conduct any emergency repair work to minimise the risk before leaving the property at Bassingfield. It might be worth mentioning that landlords or property agents have 28 days to rectify the faults identified.

Definitive Electrical Solutions can carry out remedial work on the hazards identified too, helping you get tenants back into the property as soon as it is safe to do so.

A satisfactory outcome would suggest that any electrical faults identified at the property are assigned a C3 code. This means the faults pose no immediate danger but should be considered at some point in the future.

There isn’t a legal obligation to have an EICR conducted on your home if you’re a homeowner but we do recommend an EICR to be conducted at least every 10 years.

The great thing about using Definitive Electrical Solutions is that we have the skill, expertise, extensive electrical knowledge but we’re local to Bassingfield too. We have all bases covered, often known for our problem solving skills when faced with a dilemma or set back during a project.
