What an electrical inspection involves
An electrical installation condition report is a check of the fixed wiring in a property: the circuits, the consumer unit, the earthing and the fittings. It tells you whether the installation is safe to go on using and whether anything needs doing.
We carry out the tests, record what we find against the standard the report uses and explain the result in plain language. Nothing is repaired without you agreeing first.
What the codes on a report mean
Each observation on a condition report is given a code that says how urgent it is. We explain every one in plain language and say which matter most.
Danger present
Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required.
Potentially dangerous
Urgent remedial action required.
Improvement recommended
Not dangerous, but bringing it up to date is advised.
Further investigation
Further investigation required without delay.

Questions
It depends on the size of the property and how many circuits it has. We give an estimate once we know the details.
