Periodic EICR Testing — Chalfont St Giles
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for Chalfont St Giles homes across HP8, from a Buckinghamshire-based electrician who covers Buckinghamshire on a weekly rota.
A Chilterns village with a preserved historic green, once home to poet John Milton. That mixture matters because it drives what a typical EICR visit here actually involves: period cottages around the green, larger detached houses on the surrounding lanes, and small pockets of modern housing. The routing choices, cable ages and consumer unit types you find in Chalfont St Giles homes aren't the same as one town over, and neither is the way we plan the job.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

What we look at during the inspection
- 1
Book a slot
Most EICRs take 3–4 hours for a typical family home. We'll agree a start time that lets us finish in one visit.
- 2
Inspect and test
We open the consumer unit, sample accessories on each circuit, and record insulation, continuity and RCD readings.
- 3
Report
You receive a signed EICR by email with a schedule of test results and any C1, C2 or FI observations explained in plain English.
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.
- 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.
