Clear electrical testing, coding, and certification for Croydon landlords, homeowners, buyers, and follow-up remedial work.
An EICR is most useful when it produces clear, actionable information rather than a vague pass-or-fail outcome. That matters for landlords, buyers, homeowners, and anyone planning remedial work.
We carry out electrical testing across Croydon and nearby areas with attention to circuit condition, protective devices, polarity, insulation resistance, and the practical meaning of each observation code. You receive reporting that explains what is dangerous now, what requires prompt remedial work, and what is an improvement recommendation rather than an immediate defect.
This is particularly useful for rental compliance, pre-purchase checks, follow-up after repeated tripping, and post-upgrade verification where the next decision depends on accurate evidence. Where faults or limitations are found, we can tie the report directly into fault finding or remedial planning rather than leaving the result disconnected from the next step.
A clear, step-by-step approach to ensure quality results
We examine your consumer unit, wiring, sockets, and switches for visible defects, damage, or non-compliance.
With power isolated, we test insulation resistance, earth continuity, and polarity on all circuits.
We test RCD operation, earth fault loop impedance, and verify all protective devices work correctly.
You receive a detailed EICR with any issues coded C1 (dangerous), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended).

Common questions about Electrical Testing & EICR
Landlords must have an EICR every 5 years by law. Homeowners should test every 10 years, or when buying/selling. Commercial properties need testing every 3-5 years.
We'll provide a clear report of any issues found. C1 (dangerous) faults must be fixed immediately. C2 (potentially dangerous) should be fixed soon. C3 are recommendations for improvement.
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 2-4 hours. Larger properties or complex installations may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate.
Power is isolated for parts of the testing process, typically 30-60 minutes. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and can schedule around your needs.
Yes, we can quote for any remedial work needed and often complete simple repairs the same day. Major work will be scheduled separately.
No, EICR tests your property's fixed electrical installation. PAT testing checks portable appliances. Both are important but serve different purposes.

Where an EICR leads to remedial work, the strongest next links are the local testing pages and the service pages that typically resolve the defects uncovered.
Testing requirements vary between older housing stock in Croydon and properties across Purley, South Croydon, and Sutton, especially where distribution boards have been upgraded in stages. These links highlight the local electrical-testing and follow-on fault diagnostics support we provide before certification is issued.
