EICR testing in Monmouth

What an EICR checks
An Electrical Installation Condition Report looks at your consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings, earthing and bonding. We test the circuits and inspect for damage, wear and anything that doesn't meet current safety standards, then record what we find.
- 02
Understanding the codes
Problems are coded on the report. C1 means danger present and is made safe straight away. C2 means potentially dangerous, and FI means further investigation is needed. Any of these make the report unsatisfactory. C3 means improvement recommended and doesn't fail the report on its own.

How often you need one
Landlords in Wales and England must have the installation checked at least every 5 years and give tenants a copy. For homeowners, every 10 years is the usual advice, and when you buy a house. Older homes or ones with signs of wear may need checking sooner.
What to expect from EICR testing
We book a time that suits you and let you know the power will be off for parts of the visit. A typical house takes a few hours, depending on its size and how many circuits there are. Clear access to the consumer unit helps us get started quickly.
We inspect and test each circuit, recording results as we go. Afterwards, you get the full report showing whether the installation is satisfactory and listing anything coded. If work is needed, we give you a free quote to fix it, and certificates for the repairs once they're done.

EICR testing questions
How much does EICR testing cost in Monmouth?
The price depends mainly on the size of the property and the number of circuits, so a flat costs less to test than a large house. We give you a free quote before booking, and there's no call-out charge for the visit.
Do landlords in Monmouth need an EICR?
Yes. Monmouth is in Wales, where landlords must have the electrical installation checked at least every 5 years and give the contract-holder a copy of the report. Landlords in England, including nearby Coleford, have a similar 5-year rule under their own regulations.
What happens if my EICR fails in Monmouth?
The report lists each problem with a code, and anything coded C1, C2 or FI needs putting right. We explain each item in plain words and give you a free quote to fix them. Once the repairs are done, you get certificates showing the issues have been dealt with.
Can I get an EICR when buying a house in Monmouth?
Yes, and it's a good idea. A standard survey doesn't test the wiring, so an EICR shows you the real condition of the installation before you commit. If it finds problems, you can use the report and our repair quote when you talk to the seller about the price.
