Services
Domestic EICR
Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Reports identify electrical safety issues in residential properties. Our NICEIC-certified electricians conduct thorough inspections of wiring, sockets, and circuits to ensure compliance with BS7671 standards. This service provides landlords and homeowners with legally required certification for property rentals or sales, highlighting any C1-C3 code issues needing remedial action.
Commercial EICR
Commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports ensure workplace electrical systems meet safety regulations. We test offices, shops, and industrial units across Greater Manchester, identifying hazards through visual inspections and live testing. Our reports satisfy insurance requirements and landlord obligations, with flexible out-of-hours testing available to minimise business disruption.
Landlord Certificates
Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates verify rental properties meet legal standards under the 2020 Private Rented Sector Regulations. Our inspections cover fixed wiring, earthing arrangements, and RCD protection, providing documentation required for tenant occupancy. We issue reports valid for five years, with urgent remedial work options for C1-C2 code violations.
Electrical Code Analysis
Electrical Code Analysis identifies safety classifications (C1-C3) during EICR inspections. Our engineers explain non-compliance issues ranging from immediate danger (C1) to improvement recommendations (C3). This service helps property owners prioritise remedial work while maintaining regulatory compliance for domestic and commercial installations.
Home Buyer Surveys
Home Buyer Electrical Surveys assess property electrical systems during property purchases. We identify outdated wiring, faulty circuits, and safety hazards that may affect mortgage approval. Our reports help buyers negotiate repairs or budget for upgrades, ensuring electrical installations meet current safety standards before property exchange.
