Clear evidence for safer electrical decisions
Fixed wiring properly checked
We assess circuits and protective devices, not just the visible accessories.
Defects put in order
Classification codes help you see which findings need the quickest action.
Qualified inspection work
Our Level 3 inspection and testing training supports a methodical assessment.
Find out what condition your wiring is in
An electrical safety inspection checks the fixed wiring rather than guessing from what can be seen at a socket. We inspect accessible parts of the installation, assess circuits and protective devices, then take electrical measurements to identify damage, deterioration or unsafe alterations. This can be useful when wiring is older, faults keep appearing or you're buying or selling a property in Airdrie. An EICR records the installation's condition at the time of testing and gives you firm information for deciding what needs attention.
A report that turns findings into priorities
Your report sets out observations and uses classification codes to show how each finding should be treated. C1 identifies danger present, C2 flags a potentially dangerous issue, FI calls for further investigation and C3 recommends an improvement. We explain the results so you can plan remedial work rather than stare at a page of codes and hope it behaves. An EICR covers fixed wiring and isn't the same as portable appliance testing or a visit to repair one known fault.
Frequently asked questions
What do the codes on an EICR mean?
C1 means danger is present and urgent action is needed. C2 marks a potentially dangerous defect, while FI calls for further investigation. C3 is an improvement recommendation. We explain how the recorded findings affect your next steps.
Is an EICR the same as portable appliance testing?
No. An EICR assesses fixed wiring, circuits, distribution equipment and protective devices. Portable appliance testing deals with plug-in equipment. If you have a broken socket or known fault, that may also need a separate repair visit.
How should we prepare for an electrical inspection?
Make sure we can reach the consumer unit, sockets and other fixed points that need checking. Tell us about previous alterations, recurring faults and any circuits that are difficult to access. Earlier reports can also provide useful background.
