Looking for a EICRs Electrician?

1) EICR Testing in Norwich – Electrical Safety Certificates for Peace of Mind

Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or buying a new property, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is essential for knowing if your wiring is safe and up to current standards. I provide professional, fully certified EICR inspections in Norwich and surrounding areas – with honest advice and a clear report. If you’re unsure when your electrics were last checked, it’s probably time.

2) What Is an EICR?

An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of your property’s electrical installation. It identifies:

• Any unsafe wiring or faulty components
• Issues that could pose a fire or shock risk
• Whether your system complies with current regulations
• Recommendations for remedial work if needed

You’ll receive a written report showing whether your installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory, with clear codes for any issues found.

3) Who Needs an EICR?

• Homeowners – every 10 years, or if you’ve never had one
• Landlords – now legally required every 5 years
• Home buyers – before purchase to avoid costly surprises
• Letting agents & property managers – for compliance and tenant safety

If you’re a landlord in Norwich, an EICR is now a legal requirement before new tenancies and every 5 years thereafter.

4) What Happens During the Test?

• I’ll inspect your fuseboard, sockets, switches and fixed wiring
• Carry out testing to check safety and compliance
• Note any wear, faults, or outdated components
• Provide a full report (usually within 24–48 hours)
• Talk you through the results in plain English – no jargon
