Chinnor Electrical Condition Reports
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for Chinnor households, with the practical detail that a mixed housing stock actually needs.
A large village under the Chiltern escarpment on the edge of the Vale of Aylesbury. The job in front of a EICR electrician can therefore differ enormously from address to address — even within a single OX39 postcode. Our approach is unhurried: an on-site look before quoting, brand-name parts, and a clear certificate on the way out.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.
Common EICR jobs we see in Chinnor
an insurer asking for a current EICR after a claim
a home owner acting on a mortgage-lender request
a landlord meeting the five-year periodic requirement

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.

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
- 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.
- 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.

The quickest way to move forward is a short call. We'll ask a handful of practical questions about your Chinnor property — age of the wiring, what's happening now, what you want to achieve — and either quote it there and then or book a visit to see it in person.
