    Electrical Inspections Bracknell - Thames Valley Electricians

    Want to go straight to the top of the class? Then ensure your EICR Electrical Inspection is completed, and any actions ACTIONED!

    Not knowing where to start when selling your home, becoming a landlord or just purely wanting peace of mind for your own home then Thames Valley Electricians in Bracknell will set you on the right path.
     

    EICR Electrical Inspection Bracknell

    What is an EICR? Please can I have it in English!

    Simply put an EICR or, as we’re breaking things down here, an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a report that is generated periodically after a property’s fixed wiring has been inspected for compliance to safety regulations. They must be carried out by a qualified electrician like ours at Thames Valley Electricians in Bracknell and it is recommended that your home have one carried out every ten years and a rental property every five or after a change in tenancy. The sole purpose of these reports is to guarantee the safety of the people living in the homes and to ensure they are not at risk or at any potential risk due to faulty fixed wiring.

    Why have an EICR Electrical Inspection

    Are they really necessary, I’ve not had any problems before?

    When renting out your property then yes you do have a legal obligation to have a EICR carried out. Homeowners however, it is only a recommendation for but one we at Thames Valley Electricians Bracknell strongly recommend. Many people day to day do not even think about the hard wiring in their homes let alone are able to see it so it’s the good old saying “out of sight, out of mind”. This should really not be the case. We often gloss over the need to inspect our electrical installations for any faults, damage or signs of wear but these issues are one of the main causes of property fires. They need to be checked to ensure they are in a good state of repair and in working order.

    EICR Electrical Report

    Old electrics? How old, is old?

    If you’ve just moved home, or if you’ve lived in your home over twenty years and not had an electrician inspect your electrics, how do you know how old the hard wiring in your home is? There will be some tell-tale signs such as sockets mounted on skirting boards, braided flex hanging from ceiling lights, a fuse box with a wooden back and cast-iron switches. This list is not exhaustive, but they are indications your electrics were installed TOO long ago and an EICR should be carried out to avoid any nasty surprises! Thames Valley Electricians can give your home the once over put you at ease for the next ten years.

      Fantastic service from Thames Valley Electricians, can’t recommend the company highly enough. Luke was really friendly, helpful and polite. He arrived exactly when he said he would and the job was completed to a high standard, and everything left clean and tidy afterwards.

      Luke at Thames Valley Electricians will be my first call for any future electrical work I need doing. He replaced our Fusebox/consumer unit. He is easy to contact replied quickly to our request and we had the work scheduled at a date that suited us both and a reasonable price.

      Luke was a pleasure to deal with, his quotation was swift and reasonable considering how many loops electricians have to jump through to meet all regulations and certifications. Quality of work was excellent neat and tidy and completed as promised.
