Free written quote, no hidden costs, NAPIT-registered inspectors covering Worcester and the surrounding WR postcode area.
Whether you own a Georgian terrace near the cathedral, a 1930s semi in St John's, or a modern new-build on the Warndon Villages estate, the fixed wiring inside your property needs periodic inspection. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the formal way to check that wiring, consumer units, sockets, and protective devices are safe and up to current standards. We carry out the full inspection and testing, produce a clear written report, and if remedial work is needed, we can carry it out ourselves rather than leaving you to find another contractor.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians based in Redditch, roughly 35 minutes from Worcester via the M5. We cover the whole WR1 to WR5 postcode area. Every EICR we produce meets the requirements of BS 7671 and comes with a written, itemised quote before any work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
What's included
A full visual inspection of your consumer unit, wiring runs, sockets, switches, light fittings, and earthing arrangements, checked systematically against the current edition of BS 7671 before any testing begins.
Dead testing of circuit continuity and insulation resistance, confirming that each circuit is intact and that insulation has not degraded through age, damp ingress, or rodent damage.
Live testing of RCD trip times and prospective fault current at the consumer unit, verifying that protective devices will operate correctly in a fault condition and within safe limits.
A completed EICR certificate classifying any defects as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended), with plain-English notes explaining what each code means for your property.
A clear verbal walk-through of the report findings with you on the day, so you understand exactly what has been found before we leave the property.
Where remedial work is required to clear a C1 or C2 code, a free written quote for that work so you can decide whether to book us back, with no obligation attached.
Local knowledge
Worcester's housing stock spans several centuries, and that variety matters when you book an EICR. The cathedral quarter and the streets running down to the River Severn contain some of the oldest residential properties in Worcestershire, with Georgian and Victorian terraces that may still carry rubber-insulated wiring from the 1950s and 1960s, or even earlier lead-sheathed cables in the most untouched properties. These older insulation types become brittle with age, and an EICR is particularly important here because deterioration can be invisible behind plasterwork until something fails.
Moving outward from the city centre, Worcester has large swathes of 1930s to 1960s semi-detached and detached houses across areas such as St John's, Battenhall, and Rainbow Hill. These properties typically received their first rewire sometime between the 1970s and 1990s, meaning the wiring is now approaching or past the recommended inspection interval. Consumer units in this era were often fitted with rewireable fuses rather than modern MCBs and RCDs, and many still lack RCD protection on critical circuits. An EICR will identify this clearly, and we can advise on upgrading the consumer unit as part of the same visit. On the eastern side of the city, the Warndon Villages development is far more recent, but even properties built in the 1990s are now old enough that an inspection is sensible, particularly before a sale or remortgage.
One factor worth noting for Worcester specifically is the proximity of the Malvern Hills to the west. Properties on higher ground on the city's western fringe can experience higher wind-driven rain exposure, which over time increases the risk of damp ingress into external consumer unit housings, outbuilding wiring, and cable entry points. We pay particular attention to these areas during inspections. Worcester also has a significant private rental sector, and since 2020 landlords in England are legally required to hold a valid EICR for every tenanted property, with renewal every five years. We carry out a high volume of landlord EICRs across the WR postcode area and understand the paperwork requirements that local letting agents and councils expect.
Why Worcester
Worcester landlords and homeowners choose us because we combine NAPIT-registered competence with in-house remedial capability, so you deal with one contractor from inspection to sign-off.
NAPIT-registered electricians: every EICR we produce is backed by formal registration, meaning the certificate is accepted by letting agents, mortgage lenders, and local councils without question.
In-house remedial work: if your inspection reveals C1 or C2 defects, we quote and carry out the remedial work ourselves. You do not need to find a separate contractor or wait for a second availability window.
Free written quote before anything starts: we will survey the property and send a fully itemised quote with no hidden costs attached. You approve it before we book a date.
IWA insurance-backed guarantee available on remedial work: where applicable, the work we carry out following an EICR can be covered by an insurance-backed guarantee, giving you protection that outlasts our involvement.
One point of contact from booking to certificate: you speak to us directly, not a call centre. We confirm dates, answer questions about the report, and follow up on any remedial work without passing you between departments.
How it works
Tell us your WR postcode when you call or use our online form. We confirm coverage immediately. Worcester falls well within our 50-mile radius from Redditch, so availability is rarely a problem.
We visit the property to assess the size of the installation, the number of circuits, the age of the consumer unit, and any known issues. We then produce a written, itemised quote with no hidden costs and no obligation to proceed.
You receive the quote by email, usually the same day. It breaks down the inspection fee and flags any likely follow-on work if we can see obvious issues at survey stage. You approve it at your own pace.
Once you confirm, we agree a date and arrival window that suits you. For landlord EICRs we can often accommodate tenant-occupied properties and liaise directly with letting agents where needed.
We carry out the full inspection and testing, walk you through the report findings on the day, and send the completed EICR certificate along with before-and-after photographs of the consumer unit and any areas of concern.
Often booked together
If the EICR reveals outdated wiring, a failing consumer unit, or circuits without RCD protection, we can carry out the remedial work on a follow-up visit under the same quote process, keeping the whole job with one registered contractor.
Many Worcester homeowners booking an EICR are also planning an EV charger installation. The inspection confirms the existing supply is adequate before the charger is specified, avoiding costly amendments later.
Solar panel installations require a sound electrical installation as a starting point. Pairing an EICR with a solar survey means we assess the wiring and the roof in one visit and quote for both together.
Worth knowing
If your Worcester property is within a conservation area, particularly around the cathedral and city centre, any remedial work following an EICR may need to preserve original fabric. Surface-run conduit or replacement fittings can sometimes conflict with planning conditions. We flag this during the survey so you can take advice before work begins.
Worcester sits in the Severn flood plain, and properties close to the river or in known flood zones may have wiring at low levels that has been exposed to water ingress in past flood events. Flood-damaged wiring can look intact but have seriously compromised insulation. Mention any history of flooding when you book so we prioritise those circuits.
Landlords in Worcester must provide tenants and local councils with a valid EICR before a new tenancy begins, and renew it every five years. Failure to comply carries civil penalties. If you are taking on a new rental property or an existing certificate is close to expiry, book early: remedial work to clear C1 and C2 codes must be completed within 28 days of the inspection.
FAQs
The time depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. A typical two or three-bedroom house in Worcester takes between two and three hours. Larger Victorian terraces with complex wiring or additional outbuildings take longer. We confirm the expected duration when we survey the property and quote, so you know how long to allow on the day. We do not rush the testing to meet an arbitrary time target, because a rushed EICR produces unreliable results.
Every EICR quote is free, written, and itemised after we have surveyed the property. We do not publish fixed prices because the size of the installation, the number of circuits, the age of the consumer unit, and the presence of outbuildings or commercial units all affect the scope of work. What we promise is that there are no hidden costs: the quote you approve is the price you pay. Call us on 01527 337155 or use the online form to arrange a free survey.
Yes. Since 1 July 2020, all private landlords in England have been legally required to have a valid EICR for every tenanted property. The certificate must be carried out by a qualified person, renewed every five years or at the start of each new tenancy if earlier, and provided to tenants and the local council on request. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty. We carry out a high volume of landlord EICRs across the WR postcode area and can liaise directly with your letting agent if needed.
A C1 code means danger is present and the circuit or item should be made safe immediately. A C2 code means the defect is potentially dangerous and must be remedied within 28 days for landlord compliance. In both cases we will walk you through the finding on the day and provide a free written quote for the remedial work before we leave. Because we carry out the remedial work in-house, you do not need to find a second contractor. Once the work is done, we re-test the affected circuits and issue an updated certificate.
In the vast majority of cases, no. The inspection is largely non-invasive: we test at the consumer unit and at socket and switch outlets using specialist equipment. Occasionally, accessing a junction box or tracing a concealed cable requires lifting a floorboard or removing a fitting temporarily. We flag this possibility during the survey so it is not a surprise, and we make good any access points before we leave. We photograph the installation throughout so you have a record of the condition before and after our visit.
Yes. We carry out EICRs on commercial premises as well as residential properties across the WR postcode area, including retail units, offices, and small industrial units. Commercial installations are tested to the same BS 7671 standard but typically involve three-phase supplies, larger distribution boards, and more complex circuit arrangements, which affects the scope and duration of the inspection. Contact us with details of your premises and we will arrange a free survey and written quote before any work is confirmed.
Our commitment
We limit our weekly bookings so that every inspection gets the time it requires. Rushing an EICR to fit more jobs into a day is how defects get missed. When we book your property in, you get a properly allocated time slot, not a crew that is already thinking about the next job. That discipline is how we keep our certificates accurate and our remedial quotes honest.
