Princes Risborough Electrical Condition Reports
Bringing a EICR up to current standards in Princes Risborough usually means starting with the installation you have, not the one a brochure imagines.
Period market-town centre, 1930s and 1960s semis, and modern estates towards Longwick and Monks Risborough. 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.

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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
