Free, written, itemised quote with no hidden costs. NAPIT-registered electricians serving CV37 and the surrounding villages.
Stratford-upon-Avon sits at the heart of Warwickshire, and its housing stock reflects centuries of building. From listed timber-framed properties in the town centre to post-war semis on the outskirts and newer builds in Tiddington and Bishopton, the fixed wiring behind those walls varies enormously. An Electrical Installation Condition Report tells you exactly what condition that wiring is in, whether you are a landlord meeting your legal obligations, a buyer doing due diligence, or a homeowner who simply has not had the installation checked in a while. We carry out the full inspection and testing, issue a clear written report, and can carry out any remedial work ourselves so you are not left hunting for a second contractor.
We are based in Redditch, roughly thirty minutes north-west of Stratford via Alcester, so we cover CV37 without any travel surcharge or inflated pricing. All our electricians are NAPIT-registered. Every quote is free, written, and itemised before any work begins. There are no call-out fees for the survey visit and no hidden costs on the final invoice.
What's included
A thorough visual inspection of your consumer unit, earthing arrangement, bonding conductors, and all accessible fixed wiring before any instruments are connected, so we understand the installation before we test it.
Dead testing of every circuit, including insulation resistance and continuity checks, carried out with calibrated instruments to identify deterioration, damage, or non-compliant wiring that visual inspection alone would miss.
Live testing of RCDs, protective devices, and earth fault loop impedance on all circuits, confirming that your safety devices will operate correctly when they are actually needed.
A clear written EICR certificate graded to current BS 7671 standards, with every observation coded C1, C2, C3, or FI so you and your tenant or solicitor can see precisely what requires attention and how urgently.
Plain-English explanation of any remedial observations at the end of the visit, so you understand what we found, why it matters, and what your options are before you commit to any follow-up work.
In-house remedial work where required. If the report flags urgent or required improvements, we can quote and carry out that work ourselves, meaning one point of contact, one standard of workmanship, and no delays finding a second contractor.
Local knowledge
Stratford-upon-Avon's conservation area covers a significant portion of the town centre, taking in the streets around Holy Trinity Church, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and much of the medieval street pattern. Properties here include genuine timber-framed buildings dating to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Victorian and Edwardian terraces that were retrofitted with electricity decades ago, and Georgian townhouses where original fabric has been carefully preserved. Wiring in these buildings can be anything from modern rewires carried out to a high standard to ancient rubber-insulated cables tucked into inaccessible voids. For landlords letting period properties in the conservation area, an up-to-date EICR is not only a legal requirement but a practical safeguard against faults that are genuinely difficult to spot without systematic testing.
Outside the historic core, Stratford has a varied mix of mid-century housing on estates to the south and east of the town, along with newer developments around Tiddington and in the villages of Bishopton and Shottery. Wiring in 1960s and 1970s properties often used PVC-insulated cables that are now approaching the end of their design life, and consumer units from that era frequently lack RCD protection. These installations are not automatically dangerous, but they need proper assessment rather than assumptions. Shottery, known for Anne Hathaway's Cottage but also home to a substantial residential population, has a mix of older cottages and later infill development where installations can be a patchwork of different eras and standards.
Stratford also has a strong short-term and holiday-let market given its tourism draw, and landlords operating furnished holiday lets face the same electrical safety obligations as assured shorthold tenancy landlords. If you are letting to tourists rather than long-term tenants, a current EICR is still the right baseline document to hold. The town's proximity to Warwick, Leamington Spa, and the wider south Warwickshire market means many property investors hold portfolios spread across several postcodes. We can coordinate EICR visits across multiple properties in a single scheduling block, reducing disruption and keeping the process straightforward for portfolio landlords.
Why Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford homeowners and landlords choose us because we combine NAPIT-registered competence with a straightforward, no-hidden-costs approach and genuinely local coverage across CV37.
NAPIT-registered electricians carry out every inspection, so your EICR is issued by a qualified professional recognised by the scheme that underpins Part P building regulations compliance. No subcontractors, no unregistered labour.
We carry out remedial work in-house. If your report identifies C1 or C2 observations that need immediate or prompt attention, we can quote and fix them without you sourcing a separate contractor, saving time and ensuring consistency of workmanship.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised. You receive a clear document showing exactly what the inspection covers and what any remedial work will cost before you agree to anything. No surprises on the invoice.
We are fully insured, covering both the inspection visit and any remedial work we carry out on your property. Documentation is available on request before we attend.
We cover the whole CV37 postcode and surrounding villages including Bishopton, Shottery, and Tiddington from our Redditch base, roughly thirty minutes away, with no inflated travel pricing for Stratford appointments.
How it works
Enter your CV37 postcode or give us a call on 01527 337155. We confirm we cover your area, which for Stratford-upon-Avon and surrounding villages we do, and we gather basic information about the property type and number of circuits.
We arrange a brief call or visit to understand the installation: property age, number of circuits, consumer unit location, and whether any outbuildings or annexes need to be included. This lets us give you an accurate quote rather than a rough guess.
You receive a written, itemised quote covering the full inspection and testing scope. No hidden costs, no add-ons on the day. If you have multiple properties you need assessed, we quote each one clearly so you can approve the full scope before we attend.
Once you approve the quote, we agree a date that works around your tenants, guests, or household. We confirm the appointment in writing so there is a clear record for both sides.
We carry out the full EICR inspection and testing, issue the certificate, and explain any observations in plain English before we leave. You receive the signed EICR document and, where remedials are needed, a clear written report of what was found and why.
Often booked together
If the EICR identifies wiring or consumer-unit upgrades, booking remedial domestic electrical work at the same time means one visit, one contractor, and faster compliance. Common in Stratford's older rental stock where multiple observations appear together.
Many Stratford homeowners booking an EICR also want a home EV charger installed. We can assess the installation's suitability for a charger during the same survey, combining both scopes into a single coordinated visit.
Where an EICR returns a C1 observation, the installation must be made safe immediately. Having our emergency electrician service available means urgent remedials can be scheduled without delay, keeping your property safe and tenants protected.
Worth knowing
Listed building status applies to a large number of properties in central Stratford. A listed building consent obligation does not remove the requirement to keep fixed wiring safe, but any remedial work following an EICR must be planned carefully to avoid disturbing protected fabric. Discuss this with your conservation officer and your electrician before booking remedials.
Stratford's holiday-let and short-term rental market means some properties are occupied almost continuously during peak season. It is worth booking your EICR well outside the main tourism season, typically autumn or early spring, to avoid disruption to bookings and to ensure the property can be made fully available for testing without guests present.
Older properties with extended or modified wiring may take longer to test than a modern three-bed semi, because circuits may not be clearly labelled or logically arranged. Ensure access to all consumer unit locations, outbuildings, and any detached annexes is available on the day, as incomplete access means an incomplete report.
FAQs
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. A typical two or three-bedroom house with a modern consumer unit and clearly labelled circuits can usually be tested in two to three hours. Older properties in central Stratford, particularly those with extended or modified wiring across multiple eras, often take longer because circuits may not be logically arranged or fully accessible. Period properties with outbuildings or annexes should allow additional time for those areas. We assess the property at the quote stage and allocate the correct time so we are never rushing through the inspection.
Yes. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or more frequently if the report recommends it. The EICR must be provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Local authorities in Warwickshire can enforce these rules and impose civil penalties for non-compliance. Furnished holiday lets operate under different tenancy law but carrying a current EICR remains best practice and may be required by your insurer.
These codes classify each observation by urgency. A C1 means danger is present and the issue poses an immediate risk: the installation should be made safe before it continues to be used. A C2 means the issue is potentially dangerous and requires prompt attention, though it does not necessarily require the supply to be isolated immediately. A C3 is a recommendation for improvement: the installation does not meet current standards but is not considered dangerous in its present state. An FI code flags further investigation required where a definitive assessment could not be made during the inspection. We explain each observation in plain English before we leave so you are clear on what needs to happen next.
Yes, and this is one of the main practical advantages of using us. If the report identifies C1 or C2 observations, we can quote and carry out the remedial work in-house. That means you are not left with a report flagging urgent issues and no immediate route to getting them fixed. We issue a separate written quote for any remedials, so you can see exactly what is involved before you agree. Once the work is done, we issue the appropriate documentation confirming the installation has been brought to a satisfactory standard. No need to manage two contractors or wait weeks for a second company to become available.
A well-carried-out EICR should cause minimal disturbance. The inspection involves removing socket and switch faceplates to check connections, opening the consumer unit, and accessing any junction boxes that are reachable. In most modern properties this is straightforward. In older Stratford properties with timber-framed walls or historic plasterwork, we take particular care around original fabric and will flag to you in advance if any area requires careful handling. We do not lift floorboards or open walls as a routine part of the inspection: where wiring is concealed and inaccessible, the relevant circuit receives an FI observation rather than a destructive investigation.
We do not publish set prices because the correct cost depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits, the age and complexity of the installation, and whether outbuildings or annexes need to be included. Every quote is free, written, and itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit. There are no hidden costs and no surprises on the day. To get an accurate quote for your property in Stratford, call us on 01527 337155 or use the contact form on our website and we will come back to you promptly.
Our commitment
We keep our scheduling tight so that every EICR gets the time it needs. A rushed inspection is a poor inspection, and a poor inspection defeats the purpose of having one. We do not overbook to fill a van. Each job is allocated the correct time for the property size and age, which matters particularly in Stratford where older installations genuinely require more careful assessment than a new-build would.
