Periodic EICR Testing — Watlington
Watlington is close enough to our base that a first visit for EICR usually fits into the same week you enquire.
Working across the Oxfordshire corridor around B480 and M40 J6, we plan our week to make time-boxed local visits practical rather than expensive. In Watlington that means real coverage of Chinnor, Stokenchurch and Henley-on-Thames alongside the town itself, and no juggling of a call-out charge on top of a small EICR job.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

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