EICR Inspections for Chertsey Homes
Bringing a EICR up to current standards in Chertsey usually means starting with the installation you have, not the one a brochure imagines.
Georgian and Victorian centre, post-war estates around the outskirts, and newer apartment developments near the station. 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.
What we look at during the inspection

Inspect and test
We open the consumer unit, sample accessories on each circuit, and record insulation, continuity and RCD readings.

A short visit lets us price your Chertsey EICR against the installation you actually have — not a generic Surrey average.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
