Free written quote, NAPIT-registered inspection, and a clear report with no hidden costs for Tamworth homeowners and landlords.
If you own a property in Tamworth, whether it is a post-war overspill estate house in B77, a rented terrace near the town centre, or a commercial unit off the A5, an Electrical Installation Condition Report tells you exactly what condition your fixed wiring is in. We test every circuit, inspect the consumer unit, check earthing and bonding, and give you a plain-English report with a clear overall grade and a list of any remedial items.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians based in Redditch, roughly 50 minutes from Tamworth via the M42. We carry out the full EICR ourselves and, where remedial work is needed, we can quote and complete it in-house. You never have to find a second contractor. Every quote is free, written, and itemised before any work begins.
What's included
A full visual inspection of the consumer unit, all accessible wiring, sockets, switches, and light fittings throughout the property, noting any visible signs of deterioration, incorrect installation, or unsafe DIY alterations.
Dead testing of all circuits before the supply is restored, measuring insulation resistance and continuity to confirm the fixed wiring meets current safety standards and identifying any circuits with degraded insulation.
Live testing of the RCD protection, circuit breakers, and main earthing and bonding to verify that the protection devices will operate correctly in a fault condition.
A written EICR certificate graded C1, C2, C3, or satisfactory, with every observation individually coded and described in plain English so you understand exactly what has been found and why it matters.
A verbal walk-around at the end of the inspection, where we talk you through the key findings on site so there are no surprises when the written report arrives.
Where the report identifies C1 or C2 remedial items, a free written quote to carry out the remedial work in-house, so you can get the property to a satisfactory standard without engaging a second contractor.
Local knowledge
Tamworth's housing stock is dominated by post-war and 1960s to 1980s construction built to accommodate Birmingham overspill. Estates across the B77 and B78 postcodes, including areas such as Glascote, Dosthill, and Wilnecote, were largely built to the same council specification and many now have consumer units and ring-main layouts that are forty to fifty years old. Wiring from this era, particularly twin-and-earth in the original grey PVC sheathing, is not automatically dangerous, but it is at the age where an EICR will almost always surface at least some C2 observations, most commonly around earthing and bonding, outdated fuse boards, or the absence of RCD protection on socket circuits.
Landlords in Tamworth have a legal duty to hold a valid EICR for every privately rented property, renewed at least every five years or at every change of tenancy. Staffordshire has seen increased local authority enforcement activity in this area, and an expired or missing certificate can result in a remedial notice and financial penalties. If you manage a portfolio of properties across the B77 to B79 postcode area, we can schedule inspections across multiple properties and provide individual reports for each, simplifying your compliance record-keeping.
The commercial and light-industrial stock around the A5 corridor and Tamworth's retail parks also represents a significant base of properties where periodic inspection is either a lease requirement or an insurer condition. Larger commercial premises require a more detailed inspection programme and a longer testing window, and we are experienced in working around business hours to minimise disruption. Whether it is a small retail unit, an office above a shop, or a warehouse unit, we apply the same systematic approach: full test, clear report, and an in-house remedial quote if the report calls for one.
Why Tamworth
Tamworth landlords and homeowners choose us because we are NAPIT-registered, carry out all remedial work in-house, and give a written quote with no hidden costs before we start.
NAPIT-registered throughout, so every EICR we issue is legally valid for landlord compliance, mortgage requirements, and insurance purposes. The registration is independently audited and publicly verifiable.
We complete the inspection and any remedial work ourselves. You will not be passed to a subcontractor or left to find your own electrician after the report. One company, one point of contact, one invoice.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised. We list every circuit, every test, and every remedial item separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. No surprise additions on the day.
We cover Tamworth from our Redditch base and are on site within 50 minutes. For landlords managing portfolios across the B77 to B79 postcodes, we can batch inspections to make a single trip cover multiple properties.
All our work is backed by an IWA insurance-backed guarantee, giving you protection that outlasts any individual job. That matters when a certificate or a remedial repair is tied to your legal compliance.
How it works
Enter your postcode or call us to confirm we cover your Tamworth property. We serve all B77, B78, and B79 postcodes as well as surrounding Staffordshire and Warwickshire areas within our 50-mile coverage zone from Redditch.
For straightforward domestic properties we can often quote from a brief phone conversation about the size of the installation and the age of the consumer unit. For commercial or HMO properties we will visit to agree the scope before sending a written quote.
You receive a fully itemised written quote by email. It lists the inspection, the report, and any known additional work separately. No hidden costs and no obligation to proceed. We aim to get quotes to you within four working hours.
Once you accept the quote we agree a date that works around your tenants or business hours. We confirm the appointment in writing, including a time window, so you are not left waiting all day.
We carry out the full inspection, test every circuit, and brief you on site at the end. Your EICR certificate and full written report follow by email, normally the same day. Before and after photos of key access points are included.
Often booked together
Where an EICR identifies C1 or C2 items, we can carry out the remedial electrical work on the same instruction. Combining the inspection and remedial work into a single visit saves time and avoids a second call-out fee.
Many Tamworth homeowners booking an EICR also ask about EV charger installation. The EICR confirms the consumer unit and earthing are suitable for a charger, making it efficient to quote both at the same survey visit.
If the EICR surfaces a C1 danger that needs immediate isolation or repair, our emergency electrician service means we can action it the same day rather than leaving the property in an unsafe condition.
Worth knowing
Many Tamworth properties built in the 1960s and 1970s have consumer units that pre-date the requirement for RCD protection on socket and lighting circuits. An EICR will code this appropriately, and upgrading the consumer unit is often the most cost-effective way to reach a satisfactory outcome rather than addressing circuits individually.
If your property is a rented house or flat, your EICR must be carried out by a qualified person and the report retained for at least two years. Tenants are entitled to a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and prospective tenants must receive one before they move in. These are legal requirements under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Commercial properties and HMOs in Tamworth may have more complex electrical installations with three-phase supplies, multiple distribution boards, or specialist circuits for catering or heating equipment. These take longer to inspect thoroughly. We will agree the scope and the time required with you before booking, so the price in your quote reflects the actual installation, not a standard domestic rate.
FAQs
For a standard three-bedroom semi, the most common property type on Tamworth's post-war estates, allow two to three hours. The supply will need to be off for part of the inspection while we carry out dead testing on each circuit, so it helps to plan for that in advance. Larger properties, HMOs, or any property with a complex installation will take longer. We agree the expected duration with you before the visit so there are no surprises, and we will always tell you if we encounter something that extends the job.
Every quote is free, written, and tailored to the specific property after a brief survey or scoping call. We do not publish standard rates because the time required varies significantly depending on the size of the property, the age of the installation, the number of circuits, and whether the property is domestic, commercial, or an HMO. Contact us for a free, no-obligation written quote that itemises exactly what is included. There are no hidden costs added on the day.
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR in place for every privately rented property in England, renewed at least every five years. You must provide a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. The local housing authority can issue a remedial notice and impose civil penalties for non-compliance. A valid EICR from a NAPIT-registered inspector satisfies the qualified-person requirement under the regulations.
An outdated fuse board will not automatically cause an overall unsatisfactory result, but it will almost certainly attract C2 or C3 observations, particularly around the absence of RCD protection on socket circuits, which has been a requirement for new installations since the 17th Edition wiring regulations. A C2 observation means there is a potentially dangerous condition that requires remedial action before the report can be closed as satisfactory. Upgrading the consumer unit is usually the most efficient way to address multiple C2 items at once, and we can quote for that work in-house.
We carry out all remedial work in-house. If the report identifies C1 or C2 items, we will give you a free written quote for the remedial work at the same time as we issue the report. You are not obligated to use us, but most customers prefer the continuity. Once the remedial work is complete we issue an updated report confirming the installation is now satisfactory. Everything is documented and you receive a full paperwork trail for your records or for your local authority if required.
Yes. We inspect commercial properties including retail units, offices, light-industrial premises, and small mixed-use buildings across the Tamworth area, including sites along the A5 corridor and the town's commercial parks. Commercial inspections are scoped individually because the installation complexity, number of distribution boards, and any three-phase equipment all affect the time required. We will agree the scope and the access arrangements with you before booking. Contact us for a free written quote and we will work around your operating hours wherever possible.
Our commitment
We limit the number of EICR jobs we take each week so every inspection gets the time it needs. Rushing a periodic inspection increases the chance of missing a fault, and a missed fault means a certificate that does not reflect the true condition of the installation. We would rather turn away work than cut corners on a safety-critical document.
