What an EICR gives you
Clear coded findings
We record observations in a way that shows what is urgent and what can wait.
Useful for homes and rentals
An EICR helps owners, buyers and landlords judge the condition of the installation.
One firm for repairs too
If defects are found, we can turn the report into clearly scoped remedial work.
A clear picture of your wiring and fixed electrics
An EICR report checks the condition and safety of the fixed electrical installation, not just the bits you can see at a glance. That includes wiring, circuits, protective devices and accessories. In Bishop Auckland, we carry out EICR testing for homeowners, landlords and buyers who need to know whether the installation is in sound condition or starting to show its age. The report helps uncover deterioration, damage, unsuitable alterations and other safety concerns before they are left to carry on quietly in the background. That is often the difference between a useful warning and a bigger problem later.
From inspection results to the right corrective work
We inspect and test the installation with access to the consumer unit, representative sockets, switches, lighting points and other relevant parts of the system. Any observations are recorded and classified so you can see which issues need urgent action and which improvements should be planned in due course. If defects are found, AA Electrical & Security Systems Limited can move the job on into clearly scoped remedial work rather than leaving you with a report and a shrug. That joined-up approach is especially useful when you need answers and a practical route to putting faults right.
Frequently asked questions
What access is needed for an EICR report?
We need access to the consumer unit and to a representative range of sockets, switches, lighting points and other relevant parts of the installation. If the property is occupied, it helps if rooms are accessible so the inspection and testing can be carried out properly.
What do the codes on an EICR report mean?
The codes show the seriousness of the observations recorded during the inspection. They help separate issues that need prompt attention from those that are less urgent. We explain the findings in plain terms, so you are not left trying to decode the report on your own.
Can you carry out repairs after the EICR report?
Yes, where the report identifies defects that need corrective work. Because we handle testing and remedial work through one business, we can review the findings, define the repair scope clearly and carry out the necessary work before further testing where required.
