Periodic EICR Testing — Downley
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for Downley households, with the practical detail that a mixed housing stock actually needs.
A ridge-top village on the north-west edge of High Wycombe, next to Naphill Common. The job in front of a EICR electrician can therefore differ enormously from address to address — even within a single HP13 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.

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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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.
