Periodic EICR Testing — West Wycombe
Bringing a EICR up to current standards in West Wycombe usually means starting with the installation you have, not the one a brochure imagines.
Listed timber-framed and Georgian buildings along the High Street with a small number of surrounding modern homes. 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.

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.
Talk it through before you commit
We'd rather understand the EICR you actually need in West Wycombe before quoting. A short phone or WhatsApp call is usually all it takes.
Questions we get asked most
- Do you handle the remedial work as well?
- Yes, but you're free to use the report with any qualified electrician — the EICR is yours.
- 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.
- 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.
