According to government statistics around 4 people a day are injured or killed in fires related to electrical faults.
A high percentage of home buyers did not have the electrics inspected before they purchased the property, a third of these buyers went on to find electrical problems that they were not aware of before they purchased, this could of been easily avoided by getting an electrician to carry out an inspection.
One of the top tips for purchasing a property is to get the electrical installation checked (EICR) to ensure your new home is electrically safe and you are not holding the bill; a rewire could run into thousands of pounds.The EICR could give you ammunition to negotiate the price of the property. A survey will not inspect the state of the electrics!
Each year people are killed or seriously injured because of electrical faults.
If you would like an EICR carried out on your property , then contact us. Read on for more information about the EICR.
An EICR is a check of the fixed wiring of your electrical installation at the property. Its to establish whether its safe and compliant to regulations, to identify any possible safety issues that you can not see.
The electrician will visit the property and carry out a visual inspection of all your accessible electrical accessories and then will proceed to carry out a series of checks, starting at your fuse board.
During the visit the electrician will take note of all the circuit details and findings then compile a report, which you will receive a copy including a quote (if needed) to carry out any remedial repairs recommended to bring your installation up to current standards.
In short....No
You will need an electrician, that is registered with an approved electrical regulatory body such as NAPIT , NICEIC and ELECSA, these are regulatory bodies for the UK electrical industry that carry out competency checks on electricians
