Periodic EICR Testing — Egham
Reliable EICR across Egham and the surrounding Surrey villages within a practical service radius.
The Egham coverage area we work in most weeks stretches into Staines-upon-Thames, Virginia Water and Chertsey. Journey times from our base in High Wycombe (HP11) are short enough that same-week visits are the norm rather than the exception. The work itself — EICR — is one of the things we take on for domestic customers day-to-day, not a sideline.
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.

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.
Not sure if it's the right work?
If you're not sure whether a EICR is what you actually need at your Egham property, call us. We'd rather tell you honestly than quote you into work that doesn't help.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
