Periodic EICR Testing — Wheatley
If you're looking for a EICR in Wheatley, the honest starting point is understanding the property in front of us before promising a price.
Homes in Wheatley vary a lot. Period stone cottages in the older core, 1960s and 1970s estates and small modern developments. Because of that, we don't quote sight-unseen for anything beyond the smallest jobs. A short call and a booked visit lets us give you a written price that reflects your actual installation, not a guess based on a generic Oxfordshire average.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

Talk it through before you commit
We'd rather understand the EICR you actually need in Wheatley before quoting. A short phone or WhatsApp call is usually all it takes.
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.
- 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 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.
