For homeowners, while not legally mandatory, it's recommended to have an EICR every 10 years. Commercial properties typically require an EICR every 3-5 years, depending on the business type and insurance requirements.

The duration of an EICR inspection in WS15 depends on property size and system complexity. For an average 2-3 bedroom home, our experienced electricians typically complete the inspection in 2-4 hours. Larger properties or those with complex electrical installations may take 4-6 hours or longer. Commercial properties in WS15 generally require more time due to additional safety requirements and the complexity of systems. During the inspection, our electricians test all circuits, check earthing arrangements, inspect consumer units, and examine wiring throughout the property. We aim to minimize disruption, and in most cases, power outages are limited to short periods during testing.

If your property in WS15 fails an EICR inspection, our electrician will provide a detailed report highlighting all issues found. These are categorized by severity: C1 (danger present, immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action needed), and C3 (improvement recommended but not required). For C1 and C2 codes, remedial work must be completed to achieve compliance and receive a satisfactory certificate. Express Contractors can provide a quote for all necessary repairs and, if approved, schedule the work promptly. Once remedial work is completed, we'll issue a satisfactory EICR certificate. For rental properties in WS15, landlords must complete required remedial work within 28 days or less if specified by the report.
