Dudley & Stourbridge team · NICEIC · Since 2009
Upper and Lower Gornal, Sedgley and Great Barr are mainly residential, with local shops, pubs, schools and small businesses, and plenty of older homes whose wiring is due a check.
We carry out home EICRs for buyers and homeowners, landlord EICRs with quick remedials, and commercial EICRs and emergency lighting tests for local businesses and schools.
We carry out electrical testing across the area, including:
Home, landlord and small business electrical testing across Gornal and Great Barr.
Periodic inspection and testing of offices, shops, restaurants, industrial units, warehouses, schools and care homes, planned around your opening hours.
Annual full-duration tests to BS 5266-1, monthly test support, logbooks and certificates, with failed fittings and batteries replaced by our team.
Infrared scans of distribution boards and switchgear under load, finding loose connections and overheating before they cause a fire or a shutdown.
The five-yearly EICR required for private rented homes in England, for single lets, HMOs and whole portfolios, with remedials completed and confirmed in writing.
An independent check of the wiring before you buy, after you move in, or when a home is ten years or more since its last test.
C1, C2 and FI observations put right by our own NICEIC-approved electricians, from a fixed quote, followed by the paperwork to prove it.

These are the recommended maximum intervals from the IET's Guidance Note 3. Your insurer, a licence condition or your last report can set a shorter one, so check the "next inspection" date on your current certificate.
Private landlords in England must have an EICR at least every five years by law, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Book your testEvery observation on an EICR is given a code. Any C1, C2 or FI makes the report "unsatisfactory". It doesn't mean the whole installation needs replacing, and in most cases it's a few targeted repairs.
A risk of injury right now. We make it safe before we leave, with your agreement.
Needs putting right urgently. We'll give you a fixed quote for the remedial work.
Something we couldn't fully check during the test. We'll explain what's needed and why.
Not a fail. Worth planning for, but the report can still be satisfactory.
Landlords must complete remedial work within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, and send written confirmation to the tenant and the local council. We carry out the work with our own team and provide the paperwork you need.
Out of hours, at weekends or in school holidays if needed, with RAMS sent in advance for commercial sites.
Circuits are isolated in a planned order, so servers, freezers and critical equipment are protected.
Your EICR to BS 7671, with every observation coded and explained in plain English.

The recommendation is every ten years for an owner-occupied home, and whenever a property changes hands. It's also worth having one if you've noticed tripping, scorch marks or flickering lights, or before a big renovation.
It isn't a legal requirement, but it's a good idea, especially for older homes. A mortgage valuation or homebuyer survey doesn't test the wiring. An EICR tells you exactly what condition it's in, so you can budget for any work or negotiate on price.
Yes. We work directly with letting agents and portfolio landlords, arranging access with tenants, sending reports straight to the agent and quoting remedials quickly so the 28-day deadline is met.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a building: consumer units and distribution boards, circuits, sockets, lighting and earthing. It records anything that is damaged, worn or doesn't meet the current wiring regulations (BS 7671), and gives the installation an overall result of satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
Private rented homes in England need one at least every five years by law. For businesses, the IET recommends a maximum of five years for offices, shops, schools and hotels, three years for industrial and leisure premises, and ten years for owner-occupied homes. Your insurer or your last report may set a shorter interval. See the full table.
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, private landlords must have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years. You must give a copy of the report to existing tenants within 28 days, to new tenants before they move in, and to the local council within 7 days if they ask. Any remedial work must be done within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
Any C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation) observation makes the report unsatisfactory. We make any C1 safe before we leave, with your agreement, then give you a fixed quote for the remaining remedial work. Our own NICEIC-approved electricians carry it out and we issue the paperwork to show it's been completed.
Each circuit has to be switched off briefly while it's tested, but we plan the order with you so servers, tills, freezers and critical equipment are protected. We regularly test early in the morning, in the evening, at weekends and in school holidays, so most businesses carry on as normal.
Yes. We carry out the annual full-duration emergency lighting test to BS 5266-1, with certificates and logbook entries, and replace failed fittings and batteries. We also offer thermal imaging of distribution boards and switchgear, which finds overheating connections while the building is running normally. Booking them together with your EICR saves a visit.
The price depends mainly on the number of distribution boards and circuits, the size and type of the building and when the testing needs to happen.
