From detached family homes to maisonettes, Chislehurst properties benefit from routine electrical inspections to keep people and property safe.
What an EICR Includes
We carry out a combination of visual checks and electrical tests to assess your installation’s safety and condition. You’ll receive a written report with results, observations and a clear verdict: Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
How Often Should You Book?
- Landlords: At least every 5 years (or as the report recommends).
- Homeowners: Around every 10 years, sooner after major works.
- HMOs/Commercial: Commonly 5 years, sometimes more often.
Common BR7 Findings
In BR7, we frequently see older fuse boards without RCD protection, undersized bonding, or wear-and-tear on sockets and lights. EICRs highlight these issues early so they can be resolved cost-effectively.
Safety Codes Explained
- C1: Immediate danger – make safe at once where possible.
- C2: Potentially dangerous – remedial work required.
- FI: Further investigation – more testing needed to confirm safety.
- C3: Improvement recommended – advisory.
Unsatisfactory reports contain at least one C1, C2 or FI observation.
Timescales & Access
Most EICRs for 2–3 bed homes take 2–4 hours. We’ll need access to the consumer unit, all rooms, and as many sockets/switches as practical. We’ll coordinate isolation periods for live testing to minimise disruption.
Pricing & Next Steps
Prices depend on property size and circuits. You’ll receive a fixed quote and, if needed, a clear remedial plan with pricing to help you achieve a Satisfactory report quickly.
FAQs – EICR in Chislehurst
Will an older installation automatically fail?
No. Age alone doesn’t fail an EICR; safety and compliance do. Many older systems can pass if they’re safe.

Do you cover nearby areas?
Yes — we cover Chislehurst, Bickley, Petts Wood, Bromley, Sidcup and surrounding BR postcodes.

Appointments are usually available within days. We also offer prompt remedial scheduling.
