An EICR is a full inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, from the consumer unit out to the furthest socket. Around Lanark we test everything from flats above the High Street shops to farmhouses on a private supply, and rural properties in particular throw up earthing arrangements that were fine when they went in and are not any more.
Homeowners are advised to have one every five years, and it is worth knowing that an insurer can question a claim if the wiring has never been checked. Landlords have a legal duty to keep a rented property electrically safe. Whichever applies to you, you get the formal certificate plus a straightforward summary of what actually matters, and we can PAT test the appliances at the same visit.
Rural supplies understood
Farmhouses and steadings on private supplies get their earthing arrangement checked as part of the inspection, not treated as an afterthought.
Plain-English findings
The formal coded report plus a simple summary of what is urgent, what should be improved and what can safely wait.
PAT testing too
Portable appliances tested and labelled alongside the fixed wiring, so the whole property is covered in one visit.
Your questions, answered
How much does an EICR cost in Lanark?
UK market rates are usually around £150 to £250 for a flat or small house and £250 to £400 for a larger property with more circuits. We confirm a competitive price before booking you in.
How often should I have one?
Every five years for your own home, and sooner for an older installation. Rented property needs one regularly, and a change of tenancy is a sensible trigger.
What if the report comes back unsatisfactory?
It only means one or more items need attention. We explain them in plain English, price the remedial work and re-issue a satisfactory report once it is done.
Ready for electrics done properly?
Competitive prices, certified work and an immaculate finish, on every single job.
