Free written quote, fully insured, NAPIT-registered inspections covering Evesham and the surrounding Vale.
If you own a rental property in Evesham or are buying, selling, or simply checking the health of your home's electrics, an Electrical Installation Condition Report gives you a clear, independent picture of the fixed wiring. We visit, test every circuit, and hand you a report that either confirms the installation is satisfactory or sets out exactly what needs attention and why.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians based in Redditch, roughly 40 minutes north of Evesham via the A46. We carry out the inspection and any remedial work ourselves, so there is no hand-off to a third party, no chasing, and no guessing who is responsible for what. One crew, one point of contact, one written quote before any work begins.
What's included
A thorough visual inspection of your consumer unit, all accessories, and visible wiring, checking for signs of damage, overheating, incorrect installation, or outdated components that no longer meet current standards.
Full circuit-by-circuit testing using calibrated instruments: insulation resistance, earth continuity, polarity, and RCD operation measured and recorded against BS 7671 limits.
A clear, itemised EICR report graded to the standard code system: C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation required), with plain-English explanations for each item.
A verbal walk-through with you or your managing agent at the end of the inspection, so you understand what the report says before we leave the property.
If remedial work is needed, a separate written quote covering every item, no bundled charges, no hidden costs, with the option to book us back in to complete the work.
Before-and-after photographic evidence where remedial work is carried out, supplied digitally so you have a clear record for your files, your insurer, or your letting agent.
Local knowledge
Evesham sits in the heart of the Vale of Evesham, a market town that grew up around the River Avon and the abbey. The housing stock reflects that history. The town centre and the streets running off Vine Street and High Street contain Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached properties, many of which have not had a full rewire since original installation or a partial upgrade in the 1960s or 1970s. That generation of wiring often used rubber-insulated conductors that have become brittle over time, consumer units that predate modern RCD protection, and earthing arrangements that no longer meet current regulations. An EICR on one of these properties rarely comes back entirely clear, and that is not a problem, it is the point: the report tells you what the priority is and what can wait.
Evesham also has a substantial band of post-war and 1970s housing, particularly on the eastern and northern edges of the town. These properties frequently have rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs, and plastic-insulated wiring that may be approaching the end of a safe service life. Landlords letting any of these homes are legally required to hold a valid EICR dated within the last five years, with any C1 or C2 items remedied before a new tenancy begins. We work with several letting agents across the Vale who require certificates before a property can go to market, and we are familiar with the turnaround times they need.
Beyond the residential stock, Evesham has a working commercial centre, with high-street retail, food-processing units on the outskirts, and agricultural businesses across the surrounding villages. Commercial and industrial premises have their own inspection intervals and testing requirements under BS 7671, and the consequences of an out-of-date or failed report can affect insurance validity and lease compliance. We carry out commercial EICRs as well as domestic, and the same principle applies: free written quote, full test, clear report, in-house remedials if needed.
Why Evesham
Evesham landlords and homeowners choose us because we are registered, transparent about what the report will contain, and able to fix what we find.
NAPIT registration means our work is independently assessed against the current edition of BS 7671. Every EICR we issue carries our registration details and can be verified, which matters when a letting agent or mortgage lender asks for evidence of competency.
We quote before we start. You receive a written, itemised quote for the inspection and, separately, for any remedial work identified. Nothing is added to the bill without your agreement, and there are no hidden call-out charges buried in the small print.
Remedial work is done in-house by the same engineers who carried out the inspection. There is no sub-contracting, no delay waiting for a second firm, and no risk of the remedial work being carried out by someone who has not read the original report.
We carry full public-liability and employer's liability insurance, and our work on notifiable circuits is registered with the relevant building control authority. Your certificate is issued only after the work is verified, not before.
We cover Evesham as a regular run from our Redditch base, so we can usually offer realistic booking slots without the weeks-long waits that some local firms quote. We will tell you honestly at the enquiry stage if our diary is full.
How it works
Enter your WR11 postcode or call 01527 337155 and we confirm within minutes that Evesham falls inside our coverage area. It does, so this step is quick.
We arrange a convenient time to visit the property, assess the number of circuits, the type of consumer unit, and any access considerations. From that we issue a written, itemised quote with no obligation and no hidden costs.
You receive the written quote by email, usually the same day as the survey. It covers the inspection fee and flags if we anticipate any common remedial items, so there are no surprises when the report lands.
Once you accept the quote, we agree a date that works for you and, if the property is tenanted, gives your tenant the correct notice period. We send a written confirmation so everyone has a record.
We carry out the full inspection and test, walk you through the findings, and issue the EICR report digitally. If remedial work was completed, before-and-after photos are included. Your certificate is issued only after all C1 and C2 items are resolved.
Often booked together
An EICR often reveals circuits or accessories that need upgrading. Booking remedial electrical work alongside the inspection means one visit schedule, one point of contact, and a completed certificate issued sooner rather than waiting for a second appointment.
Many Evesham homeowners adding a home EV charger need an EICR to satisfy the DNO or their insurer first. Combining both with one contractor saves time and avoids the consumer unit being opened twice.
The Vale of Evesham's open aspect makes it one of the better solar-yield locations in Worcestershire. Before a solar installation, the existing wiring condition needs to be confirmed sound. An EICR ahead of panels is a sensible first step.
Worth knowing
Older properties in Evesham's town centre often have partial or full aluminium wiring from 1960s upgrades. Aluminium conductors require different termination techniques and carry specific risks at joints. An EICR will identify these; any remedial work must be done by a competent registered electrician who knows how to treat the material correctly.
If your Evesham rental property has a shared supply or serves an HMO, the inspection scope is wider and the testing time longer than a standard single-let. Make sure your quote covers the full number of circuits and any outbuildings or detached garages on the same supply, as these are sometimes missed by cheaper contractors.
Run-off and drainage are not a concern for an EICR the way they are for external cleaning work, but access is. Testing requires circuits to be isolated one at a time. You or a responsible adult must be present, and tenants should be given proper notice under their tenancy agreement, typically at least 24 hours in writing, before we attend.
FAQs
It depends on the number of circuits and the age of the installation. A typical three-bedroom semi in Evesham with a modern consumer unit and up to ten circuits usually takes two to three hours. Older town-centre properties with more complex wiring, multiple sub-boards, or outbuildings can take longer. We assess this at the free survey stage and quote accordingly, so you know what to expect before we arrive. We will not rush the test to fit a tight schedule.
Yes. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed wiring in rented properties inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. A copy of the report must be given to tenants before they move in and to the local authority on request within 28 days. Any C1 or C2 items must be remedied within 28 days of the report date. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty. We are fully familiar with these requirements.
An EICR does not strictly pass or fail: it grades each observation as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation needed). A C1 or C2 result means the installation is unsatisfactory and remedial work is required before the certificate can show a satisfactory outcome. We issue a separate written quote for that work, carry it out in-house, and re-test the affected circuits. You receive the satisfactory certificate once the work is verified. A C3 is advisory and does not prevent the certificate being issued as satisfactory.
A responsible adult must be present throughout the inspection, but it does not have to be the tenant. You or your managing agent can attend in their place. What does matter is that tenants receive proper written notice under the terms of their tenancy agreement, usually at least 24 hours, before access is required. We can advise on the practical arrangements when you book. If a tenant refuses access unreasonably, we can document the attempt, which is relevant to your compliance obligations with the local authority.
Yes. We carry out EICRs on commercial premises including retail units, offices, and light-industrial buildings across the Vale of Evesham. The recommended inspection frequency for commercial properties varies: BS 7671 guidance ranges from one year for industrial environments to five years for offices and retail, with the actual interval based on the use and condition of the installation. We assess the appropriate interval at survey stage and include it in the report. The same free written quote process applies, with no hidden costs.
We do not publish fixed prices because every property is different. The number of circuits, the age and type of consumer unit, the presence of outbuildings, and any access constraints all affect how long the inspection takes, and we will not quote a flat figure that turns out not to cover the actual job. What we guarantee is a free, written, itemised quote before any work begins, based on a real survey of your property. There are no hidden costs and no surprises on the invoice. Call 01527 337155 or fill in our online form to arrange your free survey.
Our commitment
We keep our diary deliberately manageable so that every inspection gets the time it needs. Rushing a fixed-wiring test to fit in an extra job that afternoon is how things get missed. We would rather give you an honest booking window than overcommit and cut corners on the day. If our next available slot does not suit you, we will say so clearly rather than take the booking and disappoint you.
