GERRARD’S ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS
Clear inspection, testing and reporting for homes, landlords and businesses across Chester.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a property. It assesses the condition of wiring, circuits, earthing, protective devices and other parts of the installation that can be inspected and tested.
Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions provides EICRs for homeowners, landlords and businesses across Chester and surrounding areas. The aim is to give you a clear picture of the condition of the installation, identify safety issues and explain any remedial work that may be needed.
Owner-occupied homes are commonly inspected at intervals of up to 10 years, while rented homes in England must generally be inspected at least every five years or sooner if the report specifies an earlier interval.
Ask about an EICR →An EICR records observations using recognised classification codes. C1 identifies danger present, C2 identifies potentially dangerous conditions, C3 records improvement recommended, and FI means further investigation is required. We explain what the findings mean and what should happen next.
The installation is inspected and tested methodically so the report is based on evidence rather than assumptions.
You receive a clear report showing observations, test results and any items requiring attention.
Where defects are identified, we can explain the options and quote separately for appropriate remedial work.
Tell us about the property, access arrangements and the reason for the inspection.
We carry out the visual inspection and appropriate electrical testing.
The findings are recorded in the Electrical Installation Condition Report.
We explain any observations and, if needed, provide a separate remedial quotation.
Whether you are maintaining your own home, preparing a rental property, buying or selling, or managing commercial premises, Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions provides local EICR testing across Chester and surrounding areas. For more background, see our guide to EICRs and electrical certificates.
For an owner-occupied home, periodic inspection is commonly recommended at intervals of up to 10 years, although an earlier inspection may be appropriate depending on the condition and use of the installation.
In England, electrical safety rules require electrical installations in rented homes to be inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner where the previous report specifies an earlier interval.
An EICR is normally unsatisfactory where it contains observations classified as C1, C2 or FI. C3 observations do not on their own make the report unsatisfactory.
Yes. Where remedial work is required, we can explain the findings and provide a separate quotation for appropriate repairs or improvements.
