An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is a full health check of your home's wiring, sockets, switches and consumer unit. It tells you whether the electrics are safe to keep using and flags anything that needs sorting before it becomes a problem. Harrow homeowners often book one when buying or selling, or simply for peace of mind in an older property.
Harrow is home, so we know the local housing well, from the Victorian terraces of South Harrow to the 1930s semis of North Harrow and Rayners Lane, and the different wiring histories each carries. We work through the whole installation methodically, code every finding by urgency and explain what we find in plain English. As a NAPIT-registered and City & Guilds qualified firm we can also quote to put right anything that fails.

Your questions, answered
How often should I have an EICR on my own home?
Every ten years is a good guide for an owner-occupied home, or sooner for older properties or if you notice problems. Many Harrow homeowners also book one when buying or selling for reassurance.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical home takes about two to four hours, depending on the size of the property and how many circuits there are. We confirm the likely timing when we quote.
What happens if my home fails?
A fail just means some items are coded C1 or C2 and need attention. We explain exactly what they are and give you a clear price to make it safe and bring it up to standard.
