Gerrards Cross EICR Inspections
A methodical EICR service for Gerrards Cross residents — booked in properly, tested on the day and certified before we leave site.
Gerrards Cross sits within easy reach of A40, A413 and M40 J1a via A413, and we're regularly working in and around Chalfont St Peter, Beaconsfield and Denham. That means we can usually get to a Gerrards Cross address within the same working week without asking a customer to hold a diary for a month. Our scope here is strictly domestic — houses, flats and small annexes.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

Book a visit that suits your week
We hold Monday-to-Friday slots for Gerrards Cross customers each week. If your EICR isn't urgent, we can usually book something within the same week you enquire.
Questions we get asked most
- How long does an EICR take?
- 3–4 hours for a typical 3-bedroom house. Larger properties and older installations take longer because of the sampling and note-taking.
- How often should a home have one?
- Owner-occupied homes: at least every 10 years or on change of occupancy. Rented homes: every 5 years.
- What if you find C1 or C2 issues?
- You'll get a full explanation, a written quote for remedials, and — for C1 — we make the fault safe on the day where practical.
- Will the power be off?
- Circuits are isolated one at a time as we test. Total power-off is usually only a few short windows.
