Our electricians inspect and test the installation before producing a report that records its condition. Where faults are found, we explain the findings clearly and can provide a quotation for the necessary remedial work.

A Clear and Organised Inspection

What Happens During an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report involves inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation within the agreed scope of work. The process helps identify deterioration, damage, unsuitable alterations and other conditions that may affect electrical safety.

The time required will depend on the size, age and complexity of the installation, together with access arrangements and the number of circuits that need to be inspected.

01

Discuss the Property

We establish the type and size of the premises, its use, approximate number of circuits and any access or operational restrictions.

02

Plan the Inspection

For occupied commercial premises, we discuss working hours, sensitive areas and how disruption can be reduced where practical.

03

Inspect the Installation

Our electrician visually examines accessible parts of the fixed installation and checks for damage, deterioration and unsuitable work.

04

Carry Out Electrical Tests

Appropriate tests are completed on the circuits included within the inspection to assess their condition and protective measures.

05

Prepare the EICR

The findings are recorded within the report, including observations and classification codes where defects are identified.

06

Explain the Next Steps

We explain the outcome and can provide a quotation for remedial work or further investigation where required.

Fixed-Wire Inspection

What Does an EICR Check?

The inspection focuses on the fixed electrical installation rather than portable appliances. The exact testing completed will depend on the property, installation and agreed scope of work.

Our electricians look for defects that could create a risk of electric shock, fire, overheating, damage or unreliable operation.

Access is important Distribution boards, electrical cupboards and other relevant areas should be accessible wherever possible on the day of the inspection.

Inspection points may include:

  • Consumer units and distribution boards
  • Protective devices and circuit arrangements
  • Earthing and bonding provisions
  • Socket and lighting circuits
  • Fixed electrical equipment
  • Signs of overheating or deterioration
  • Damaged accessories or enclosures
  • Unsuitable alterations or additions
  • Identification, labels and circuit schedules
  • RCD protection where applicable
Problems Found During Testing

Common Electrical Defects Identified by an EICR

Some defects are immediately visible, while others only become apparent when electrical testing is completed.

Damaged Accessories

Broken sockets, switches, covers and enclosures may expose live parts or reduce the protection provided by the installation.

Poor Earthing or Bonding

Missing, inadequate or deteriorated protective conductors can increase the risk presented by an electrical fault.

Overheating Connections

Loose or deteriorated connections may generate heat and damage terminals, cables or electrical equipment.

Unsuitable Alterations

Previous additions may have been completed incorrectly or without suitable protection, identification or testing.

Outdated Equipment

Older distribution equipment and protective devices may no longer provide the level of protection expected from a modern installation.

Incomplete Circuit Information

Missing labels, inaccurate schedules or poor identification can make maintenance and emergency isolation more difficult.

Understanding Your Report

What Do EICR Classification Codes Mean?

Where an observation is recorded, the report may include a classification code indicating the level of concern and the action that should be considered.

C1

Danger Present

A dangerous condition has been identified and prompt action is required to remove the immediate risk.

C2

Potentially Dangerous

A condition has been found that could become dangerous and remedial action is required.

FI

Further Investigation

Additional investigation is required because the inspector cannot fully determine the condition during the initial inspection.

C3

Improvement Recommended

The installation may benefit from improvement, although the observation does not normally make the report unsatisfactory.

When is an EICR unsatisfactory?

A report containing a C1, C2 or FI observation will normally have an unsatisfactory overall outcome until the relevant issues have been addressed or investigated.

Support After the Inspection

What Happens if the EICR Finds Defects?

Finding defects does not mean the entire installation needs replacing. In many cases, specific repairs, improvements or further investigation can address the observations recorded within the report.

Able Electric can provide a clear quotation for remedial work. Once the necessary work has been completed, suitable documentation can be provided to record what has been corrected.

Commercial customers can also ask us to prioritise work, coordinate access and plan repairs around operational requirements.

Remedial work may include:

  • Replacing damaged sockets and switches
  • Improving earthing and bonding
  • Repairing loose or overheated connections
  • Replacing unsuitable protective devices
  • Correcting unsafe alterations
  • Updating labels and circuit schedules
  • Further testing and fault investigation
  • Replacing damaged distribution equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

EICR Testing Wolverhampton FAQs

Answers to common questions from Wolverhampton businesses, landlords, facilities managers and homeowners.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is produced after inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation. It records the condition of the installation and identifies defects, deterioration and areas requiring further attention.

Do you carry out commercial EICRs in Wolverhampton?

Yes. We test offices, warehouses, schools, shops, hotels, industrial units, managed buildings and other commercial premises throughout Wolverhampton and surrounding areas.

Will the electricity need to be switched off during testing?

Some testing may require circuits or parts of the installation to be isolated. For commercial premises, we discuss the likely disruption and suitable arrangements before the inspection.

How long does an EICR take?

The time required depends on the size, age and complexity of the installation, the number of circuits and access to electrical equipment. A commercial building generally takes longer than a small residential property.

What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?

The report will identify the relevant defects and classification codes. We can explain the findings and provide a quotation for remedial work or further investigation where required.

Can you carry out the remedial electrical work?

Yes. Able Electric can provide quotations for repairs, improvements, replacement equipment and further electrical investigation following the EICR.

Do you test rented properties and HMOs?

Yes. We carry out landlord EICRs for individual rented homes, apartments, HMOs, communal areas and managed residential portfolios throughout Wolverhampton.

Can you test several business locations?

Yes. We can help facilities managers, landlords and organisations coordinate testing across multiple properties in Wolverhampton and the surrounding West Midlands.
