NAPIT-registered electricians covering Warwick and the surrounding CV34 and CV35 areas, with a free written quote and no hidden costs.
Warwick has a wide mix of housing stock, from Georgian and Victorian properties in and around the castle quarter to mid-century semis and modern estates on the outskirts at Hatton Park, Myton, and Leek Wootton. Whatever your property type, the fixed wiring inside it needs to be in safe, serviceable condition. An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is the recognised way to confirm that. We inspect every accessible circuit, test all fixed wiring, and produce a clear written report that tells you exactly what condition your installation is in.
We are NAPIT-registered, which means the work is independently audited and the report we issue is one that landlords, letting agents, mortgage lenders, and insurers all recognise. We do not subcontract the inspection, and if remedial work is needed, we can carry it out ourselves rather than leaving you to find someone else. One point of contact, start to finish.
What's included
A methodical visual inspection of every accessible consumer unit, socket, switch, and light fitting throughout the property, identifying any visible deterioration, damage, or non-compliant installation before testing begins.
Dead testing of all fixed circuits, including insulation resistance measurements and polarity checks, carried out with calibrated instruments so the results are traceable and accurate.
Live testing under normal supply conditions, including earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation times, confirming that protective devices will operate correctly in a fault condition.
A formal written EICR report issued on the day, showing each circuit's condition code, any C1 or C2 observations that require action, and a clear overall satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome.
A plain-English verbal summary from the engineer on the day so you understand what was found, what it means in practice, and what, if anything, needs doing next.
Where the report identifies remedial work, a free written quote for us to carry it out in-house, keeping the job with one NAPIT-registered contractor and avoiding unnecessary delays.
Local knowledge
Warwick's historic core, centred on the castle and the streets running off the market place, contains a significant number of listed and pre-war buildings. Many of these properties still have wiring that was installed decades ago, some dating to early consumer units with rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs or RCDs. In older properties like these the insulation on conductors can become brittle or degraded over time, and what was compliant when installed may now fall well outside current standards. An EICR is the only reliable way to understand what you actually have rather than what the property looks like from the outside.
On the newer estates at Hatton Park and Myton, and in the commuter villages such as Leek Wootton that sit just beyond the town boundary in the CV35 postcode, the properties are typically 1990s or 2000s construction. Wiring on homes of that age is not automatically safe. Consumer units on many 1990s properties pre-date the requirement for RCD protection on all circuits, and fifteen to twenty-five years of domestic use can introduce faults that are invisible without testing. Landlords letting property on these estates are legally required to hold a satisfactory EICR under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 and to renew it every five years.
Warwick also has a notable number of converted properties: former commercial buildings, coach houses, and barn conversions in the rural fringe of the CV35 area. These present particular challenges because the original electrical installation may have been designed for a very different use, extended piecemeal, or partially rewired by different contractors over the years. A thorough EICR on this type of property takes longer than a standard terraced house, and we build that into our free survey rather than quoting a flat rate that does not reflect the actual complexity of the work.
Why Warwick
Warwick customers choose us because we are NAPIT-registered, we issue the report on the day, and we can handle any remedial work ourselves without bringing in a third party.
NAPIT registration means every EICR we issue meets the independently audited standard that landlords, letting agents, and local authorities require. You are not relying on an unchecked self-certification.
We carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance, so the inspection is properly covered before we step into your property. All paperwork is available on request.
Our engineers do not subcontract. The same person who carries out the inspection writes the report and, if needed, carries out the remedial work. That continuity matters when accuracy and accountability are important.
We serve the full CV34 and CV35 area from our Redditch base, which is approximately 35 minutes from central Warwick via the A4189 through Henley-in-Arden. We cover the town centre, Hatton Park, Myton, Leek Wootton, and the surrounding rural parishes without a call-out surcharge.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised with no hidden costs. If the inspection reveals remedial work, you receive a clear written quote before any further work is authorised. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
How it works
Give us your CV34 or CV35 postcode and we confirm straight away that your property falls within our coverage area. For rural CV35 addresses and barn conversions, we may ask a couple of extra questions about access and the number of outbuildings so we plan the visit correctly.
We arrange a brief call or visit to understand the property type, approximate age of the wiring, number of circuits, and whether any previous work has been done. From that we produce a written, itemised quote with no hidden costs. You are not committed to anything at this stage.
You receive the written quote by email, clearly showing what is included in the inspection and any known variables. If you have questions about what is covered, we answer them before you decide. There is no pressure and no expiry deadline on the quote.
Once you confirm, we agree a date that suits you. We aim to offer availability within a week for most Warwick properties. Landlords with a certificate approaching its expiry date should book as soon as possible rather than waiting for the deadline.
The engineer carries out the full inspection and testing on the agreed date and issues the written EICR before leaving. You receive a plain-English summary on the day and a PDF copy of the formal report. If remedial work is needed, you receive a written quote before anything further is booked.
Often booked together
If the EICR identifies remedial observations, we can carry out the required wiring or consumer unit work in the same visit or at a closely scheduled follow-up, keeping the job with one NAPIT-registered contractor and avoiding delays.
Many Warwick homeowners booking an EICR are also considering an EV charger. We can assess the suitability of the existing installation during the inspection and quote for the charger installation at the same time.
Properties at Hatton Park and Leek Wootton are well-suited to solar panels. An EICR confirms the existing wiring can support a new solar installation, and booking both together avoids a second visit.
Worth knowing
Listed building status in central Warwick can restrict how remedial work is carried out. If an EICR identifies work requiring surface-run conduit or alterations to fabric, you may need consent before remediation. We can advise on scope, but you should check with the local authority conservation officer before instructing work.
Warwick landlords must provide tenants with a valid EICR before a new tenancy begins and within 28 days of a periodic inspection to an existing tenant. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty. If your current certificate is approaching its five-year expiry, book the inspection before the deadline, not after.
Properties in the CV35 rural fringe, including barn conversions and detached farm buildings with outbuildings on the same supply, often have more circuits and longer cable runs than a standard domestic property. This can affect how long the inspection takes. Discuss the full extent of the installation at the survey stage so the scope is agreed before we start.
FAQs
The time varies depending on the size and complexity of the installation. A typical two or three-bedroom mid-century semi on the outskirts of Warwick will take two to three hours. A larger Victorian property in the town centre with a higher circuit count, or a barn conversion in the CV35 area with multiple outbuildings, will take longer. We assess the scope during the free survey so you know what to expect before we arrive, and we do not cut the inspection short to meet an arbitrary time target.
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords in Warwick and across England must have a valid EICR for every privately rented property. The certificate must be carried out by a qualified person, renewed every five years or at the start of a new tenancy if sooner, and provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Penalties for non-compliance can be significant. If your certificate is due for renewal, contact us for a free written quote.
Condition codes are the way the engineer records findings. A C1 means danger present and requires immediate action because there is a risk of injury. A C2 means potentially dangerous, requiring remedial work but not posing an immediate risk. A C3 is an improvement recommendation rather than a requirement. An EICR is classed as unsatisfactory if it contains any C1 or C2 observations. If your report comes back unsatisfactory, you are required to arrange remedial work within 28 days. We can provide a written quote for any remedial work identified in our own report, keeping everything with one contractor.
The inspection is largely non-invasive. We test circuits using the existing accessories and consumer unit without opening walls or lifting floorboards as a matter of routine. In some older Warwick properties where there is concern about a specific circuit or the condition of concealed wiring, we may need to remove a socket or ceiling rose to inspect the connections directly. We will always discuss this with you before doing it. Listed properties in the conservation area are treated with particular care, and we flag any access considerations at the survey stage.
Yes. This is one of the main practical benefits of using us. If the inspection identifies C1 or C2 observations, we can quote for and carry out the required remedial work ourselves as a NAPIT-registered contractor. You do not need to find a separate electrician, explain the report to them, or wait for their availability. Once the remedial work is complete we can issue a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate confirming the work has been done to standard. The quote for any remedial work is always free, written, and itemised with no hidden costs.
An EICR covers the fixed electrical installation only. That means the consumer unit, the cables within the walls and ceilings, the sockets, switches, light fittings, and any other hard-wired equipment such as an electric shower or cooker connection. It does not cover portable appliances such as washing machines, kettles, or televisions. Portable appliance testing, known as PAT testing, is a separate process. If you need PAT testing for a rental property or small commercial premises in Warwick alongside your EICR, let us know when you request your quote and we can discuss whether we can combine the visits.
Our commitment
We take on a managed number of EICR inspections each week so that every job receives the attention it needs. A rushed inspection is a risk to accuracy, and an inaccurate EICR is worthless to a landlord or homeowner. We would rather tell you our next available slot than overbook and cut corners on the work. That is how we maintain the standard that NAPIT registration requires and that our Warwick customers expect.
