EICR — Electrical Installation Condition Reports in High Wycombe
Bringing a EICR up to current standards in High Wycombe usually means starting with the installation you have, not the one a brochure imagines.
A wide mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the valley floor, 1930s semis on the ridges, and post-war and modern estates around the outer ring. Some are wired to a good standard already; others still carry decades-old fuse boards, buried junction boxes and cabling that predates modern accessory ranges. We'll walk it through with you, share the readings, and give you an option that's proportionate to the property — not the biggest quote we can write.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

Electrical Installation Condition ReportsNot sure if it's the right work?
If you're not sure whether a EICR is what you actually need at your High Wycombe property, call us. We'd rather tell you honestly than quote you into work that doesn't help.
Questions we get asked most
- Is an EICR the same as a PAT test?
- No — an EICR covers the fixed installation. PAT covers plug-in appliances and isn't part of an EICR.
- 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.
- Will you sign off work someone else did?
- We can inspect and report on it, but we won't put our name on an installation certificate for work we didn't carry out.
- Do you handle the remedial work as well?
- Yes, but you're free to use the report with any qualified electrician — the EICR is yours.
