An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an assessment of the electrical installation within a property which is carried out by an experienced and qualified electrician in Byfleet or approved contractor.
An EICR assesses the condition of existing electrical systems and installations to find out if there are any defects against the national safety standard for electrical installations. An EICR will tell you if any of your electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded which will then be deemed as unsafe and recommend the work that needs to be carried out to make it safe and in good working order.
As part of our service, our electricians in Chessington will fulfill the basis of an EICR.
An EICR is a formal document that is provided by our qualified electricians in Chessington, or approved contractor after they have assessed the condition of electrical installations and systems within a domestic or commercial property.
It will identify and prioritise any deficiencies or defects against the national safety standard for electrical installations and advise you of any electrical work that needs to be carried out to ensure it remains safe.
The common cause of problems is poor wiring. Whether your home or business has a dryer, air conditioning unit, or water heater, if the wiring within these areas isn’t professional and up to code, you could be in danger. Electrical wiring problem occurs due to wires that were burnt off which can easily lead to disastrous consequences. These wires must be replaced as soon as possible because they are the leading cause behind the fire and can quickly turn everything in your life to crumble.
The list of things to look out for when inspecting your home’s electrical system starts with the fact that the wiring has been installed properly, but there’s a hidden issue that may go unnoticed. The hidden problem can result in costly repairs to your home’s electrical system. Most people don’t realize that a major component of any major electrical installation can be extremely expensive to repair. Never wait till you are in desperate need of emergency services before you think about having your home checked out – this way, you will know if you need to have emergency service professionals check your system out
EICR check simply means that any time a person fixes an electrical system for their home, they can expect that there will be a check made at the end to make sure that the system is in proper working order and will still be safe for the people in the home. Inspections are also conducted out on wiring and fixed electrical appliances to monitor that it is safe.
Most people are aware of common electrical problems. The three most common electrical problems in homes, offices, and businesses are tripping the breaker, lightning, and electrocution. When an electrical problem occurs, whether it is tripping of the breaker or lightning striking the wires that run across your property, it can create a dangerous situation. Even one second of electricity can be deadly.
If you’re not sure what the cause of electrical problems in your home, you should contact a qualified electrician so that they can assess the situation for you. They will be able to tell you if your problem is electrical in nature and if it is something more severe like a trip or lightning strike
You should contact an electrician in the event of an electrical emergency in Chessington, such as a power outage or burning odour. If you’re unsure whether your situation classifies as an electrical emergency, you should still contact Pennington’s Electrical just in case.

Landlords are required to ensure that every fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician.
If you own an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), you have a legal obligation to have a periodic inspection carried out on your property every five years. If your property is not an HMO, then you are not legally obliged to get your installation tested on a periodic basis.
However, we recommend that you have a full periodic inspection carried out every five years or on change of tenancy, whichever comes first. Our guidance is based on legal obligations set out in The Landlords and Tenant Act (1985).
Faulty and old electric systems can cause fires and damage to your property in Chessington so it is vital you have them assessed regularly.
Fixed wiring testing accurately identifies electrical issues, their locations and any recommended actions needed. Call our electricians in Chessington for more information.
The Landlords and Tenants Act (1985) requires that the electrical installation in a rented property whether domestic or commercial has an EICR report (Electrical Installation Condition Report). Ensure that any electrical systems and wiring have been checked by a qualified and registered electrician in Chessington to confirm they are in good working order and safe.
UK law requires businesses to meet specific codes and standards regarding electricity in the workplace to keep their electrical systems safe and in good working order. Many of these regulations are set by the Landlords and Tenants Act of 1985 to protect tenants of rented domestic and commercial buildings.
A commercial EICR Certificate demonstrates that you are compliant with these regulations which ensure that a building is safe for tenants and employees.
An EICR carried out by an electrician in Chessington will detail anything that you must correct with your electrical system and this can include;
- Any out of date electrical systems that are not compliant with safety regulations
- Any defects and deterioration in your electrical equipment
- Any damage to your electrical systems, circuits and wiring
- Any electrical equipment which may need repair or replacement
- Any observed damage
- Any dangerous electrics
If you don’t have an EICR report completed a minimum of every 5 years and if you cannot prove you have had the assessment completed as you are legally required then you could be liable under UK law for any damage or injuries caused by an electrical fault. Ask our electricians in Chessington for more information.
Three main categories include circuit breakers, surge protectors, and load controllers when it comes to the electrical system’s different types. Each of these different types of electrical systems plays a significant role in your home’s overall safety and efficiency.
For example, when it comes to circuit breakers, your electrician needs to know the different types of breakers available on the market. If you do not have an electrician in your home, then the chances are excellent that you will have to work with a surge protector. On the other hand, if you have a licensed electrician, then chances are excellent. They will already be familiar with the different types of surge protectors available on the market.
It is simple, If the electricity in your home is erratic, or if you have noticed a lot of buzzing or whining noises, or if you have seen the black smoke coming from the outlet boxes, then this could be a sign of a breaker box problem in your home.
The following are few things that can cause your electric sockets to stop working.
Metal corrosion: This is commonly caused when metal is placed near an electric circuit board. When this happens, the metal contacts to get closer to each other, creating a metal arc. The contact ends up burning, which causes the wire to get hot and start to burn.
Leaks: Another common problem is a leak in one of the electric circuits in your home.
Insulation: You can tell if your insulator is faulty by sticking it in a jar of water and watching if it freezes.

If your light switch is hot, it could indicate a serious problem. A hot light switch could indicate an array of problems which may be because the switch is overloaded, the switch is failing, faulty wiring or the functioning of dimmer switches. If your light switch is hot, it’s best to get a qualified electrician in.
In most cases, a light flickering is just a faulty lightbulb, however, it could be due to something potentially dangerous. If multiple lights are flickering at once, power arcing may be the issue. This could potentially lead to a fire hazard, so if in doubt, call up our qualified technicians in Byfleet straight away.
