Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) in Havering & Essex

Protect Your Property with a Professional Electrical Safety Inspection

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed safety check of your home’s fixed electrical system. It identifies faults, wear and tear, or potential fire and shock risks before they become dangerous.

Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, or buying/selling a property, having a valid EICR ensures your electrics are safe, up to standard, and legally compliant.

 

What is an EICR?

An EICR involves a series of tests and inspections on your property’s:

  • Consumer unit (fuse board)
  • Wiring and circuits
  • Earthing and bonding
  • Sockets, switches, light fittings
  • Fixed appliances like cookers or electric showers

Once complete, you will receive a written report showing whether your system is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, with recommendations if any remedial work is required.

 

Do I Need an EICR?

You may need an EICR if:

✅ You have not had your electrics inspected in the last 5-10 years

✅ You are buying or selling a property

✅ You are a landlord (legally required every 5 years in England)

✅ You are upgrading your fuse board or carrying out renovations

✅ You have noticed flickering lights, tripping circuits, or other faults

✅ You just want peace of mind in an older home

Installing LED downlights

Are your lamps continually blowing? Are you fed up of having to change your downlight lamps or calling out an electrician because a transformer needs replacing?
I have been to many properties in Upminster where my customers need me to repair their faulty downlights. In most cases the lights are low voltage 12v lamps which use a transformer to convert the voltage. You can tell the lighting is low voltage by the pins on the lamps (see picture below)

These kinds of lights are prone to breaking down, if a lamp stops working I would check the following:
