EICR — Electrical Safety Certificates in Winchester

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of the fixed electrical installation in a property. It identifies any deficiencies against the current safety standard (BS 7671) and provides a clear assessment of whether the installation is satisfactory or requires remedial work.

Since June 2020, landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out on their rental properties at least every five years, or at the start of each new tenancy. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000. Homeowners and businesses also benefit from regular inspections to ensure their electrical systems remain safe.

At Orsidaen Electrical Services, we carry out thorough EICR inspections across Winchester and all surrounding Hampshire villages. Our qualified electricians will test every circuit, check earthing and bonding, inspect the consumer unit, and examine a representative sample of accessories such as sockets and switches.

Following the inspection, you'll receive a detailed report categorising any issues found using the standard classification codes (C1 for danger present, C2 for potentially dangerous, C3 for improvement recommended, and FI for further investigation). If remedial work is needed, we can carry it out promptly and issue an updated satisfactory report.
