Why your EICR should lead to clear action.
Plain report language
Report findings are explained clearly, not left buried in technical wording.
Domestic and site experience
Work across homes and commercial sites helps the testing match the property.
Better access planning
Good preparation helps the inspection move without wasted time on the day.
Know what condition your wiring is in.
When you need to know whether a property's fixed electrics are still in sound condition, an Electrical Installation Condition Report does the hard, useful part: it checks what is actually there rather than what everyone hopes is there. That matters if you have an ageing installation, you are preparing for a new occupier, or you simply want a proper picture of the wiring, accessories and distribution equipment. With Electroways Ltd, EICR testing is carried out for both homes and commercial premises, so the work is not treated like a one-size-fits-all tick box. We look for signs of deterioration, damage and defects within the fixed installation and test circuits to assess safety and condition. A report from Electroways Ltd gives you something practical to work from, not a shrug and a guess.
Testing that ends with a usable report.
Before the visit, we need the property type, the reason for the inspection and clear access to consumer units, distribution boards and the circuits being tested. On site, we confirm the installation details, carry out the inspection and testing, then issue the report with observations and classification codes that show how urgent any identified issues are. That way, you can separate items that need prompt attention from points that can be planned sensibly. When you book an EICR with Electroways Ltd, you get testing informed by wider electrical experience, which helps when the report needs to lead to sensible remedial or installation decisions.
Frequently asked questions
What does an EICR actually check?
An EICR looks at the property's fixed electrical installation rather than loose appliances. That includes circuits, sockets, switches, protective devices and the consumer unit or distribution equipment, along with testing to assess their condition.
Who usually needs EICR testing?
Homeowners, landlords, businesses and people managing property safety all use EICR testing. It is useful when you want a clearer view of an installation's condition, when occupancy is changing, or when older electrics leave more questions than answers.
What should we prepare before the visit?
Send the property type, the reason for the report and any known issues in advance. On the day, we need access to consumer units, distribution equipment and the areas served by the circuits, so testing is not held up by locked cupboards or missing keys.
