Professional EICR & Electrical Testing
in York & Yorkshire
NAPIT-approved electricians providing comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports and landlord safety certificates.

Most homeowners we speak to didn't realise that electrical installations naturally deteriorate over time. Connections can loosen, cables can perish, and previous 'DIY' attempts by former owners can leave behind some pretty nasty surprises. An EICR is essentially a complete 'top-to-toe' check of your property’s fixed wiring. It’s not just about seeing if a light works; it’s about testing the circuits themselves to ensure they'll cut the power instantly if a fault ever develops.Are you currently buying or selling a house in York? Most mortgage lenders and surveyors now ask for a valid EICR before they’ll sign off on a sale. It’s a smart move—nobody wants to move into their dream home only to find out it needs a full house rewire a week later. We provide a thorough, honest assessment so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any contracts are signed.

If you're a landlord in York or North Yorkshire, you’ll know that the rules have changed quite a bit recently. It’s now a legal requirement to have a valid Landlord Safety Certificate (EICR) for your rental properties every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. It isn't just a recommendation anymore; it’s the law. If your report comes back as 'unsatisfactory,' you usually have a 28-day window to get the remedial works sorted to stay compliant.We work with landlords and letting agents across Selby, Malton, and Ripon to take the stress out of these inspections. We’ll coordinate with your tenants, carry out the testing with minimal disruption, and get the digital certification over to you quickly. Our goal is to keep your tenants safe and your investment protected, without you having to chase us for paperwork.

Running a business is stressful enough without worrying about electrical failures or insurance small print. For our commercial and industrial clients in York, we provide Fixed Wire Testing to help you meet your Health & Safety at Work obligations. Whether you run a small office, a bustling restaurant, or a large warehouse in Elvington, regular testing is vital to ensure your insurance remains valid and your staff stay safe.We understand that you can't just shut down for the day. That’s why we’re flexible with our scheduling. While we do need to turn the power off for brief periods during the test, we work efficiently to keep your downtime to an absolute minimum. From checking your three-phase power systems to testing emergency lighting, we’ve got your commercial needs covered.

When you get your report back, you might see a few codes that look like technical gibberish. Let’s break them down into real-world terms. A C1 code means there’s an immediate danger—something is live and touchable, and we’ll usually fix this on the spot to make it safe. A C2 code means it’s potentially dangerous; it’s not an emergency yet, but it needs urgent attention. Both of these will result in an 'unsatisfactory' report.On the other hand, a C3 code is just a recommendation for improvement. It might mean your consumer unit doesn't quite meet the very latest 18th Edition standards, but it isn't necessarily unsafe. We’ll always sit down with you and explain these codes so you can decide how to proceed without feeling pressured into unnecessary work. Transparency is exactly how we’ve built our reputation in York.
