Electrical Safety Certificates (EICR)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a structured inspection of everything electrical in a property, from the consumer unit to the furthest socket. It tells you what is safe, what needs attention and what can wait, with every observation coded and explained.
Landlords in England must have a satisfactory report at least every five years. Buyers use one to avoid an expensive surprise, which matters in an area with as much older stone and period housing as the Forest of Dean. Whatever the reason, you get the formal certificate plus a plain English summary. Anything that needs putting right comes with a clear fixed price.

Safety certificates questions, answered
How much does an electrical safety certificate cost?
A domestic EICR in the UK is usually around £150 to £300, with a small flat at the bottom of that and a large house with lots of circuits at the top. Landlords with several properties in and around Coleford get a rate agreed up front. You always know the price before you book.
How often should I have an EICR?
Rented homes need one at least every five years or at a change of tenancy. For your own home, every ten years is the usual guide, sooner for older installations and when you are buying.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
It just means one or more items need attention. We explain exactly what they are in plain English and give you a fixed price to put them right and re-issue a satisfactory report.
How long does an EICR take?
Two to four hours for most homes, depending on size and the number of circuits. We work cleanly and put everything back exactly as we found it.
