Expert EICR Testing & Inspection Services
Electrical installations naturally deteriorate over time. A periodic EICR ensures your wiring, circuits, and protective devices remain safe to use and meet current standards.
At S W Electrical Works Ltd, we provide thorough EICR testing throughout Chesterfield and the wider Derbyshire area, producing clear, accurate reports you can rely on.
Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or landlord, we’ll check your installation, identify potential faults, and recommend any necessary improvements.
What Is an EICR and Do I Need One?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses whether your property’s electrical system is safe to remain in service.
You should have an EICR if you are:
Purchasing a new home or commercial property
A landlord (required by law under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020)
Unsure about the condition or safety of your existing electrical system
Our EICRs are non-invasive — we won’t damage your property. We temporarily isolate the power, test each circuit, and remove a small number of accessories (such as sockets or switches) for visual inspection.
What Will the EICR Show?
After testing, you’ll receive a full written report showing whether your installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for continued use.
Each observation is coded to indicate its urgency:
| Code | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Danger present, risk of injury | Immediate remedial action required |
| C2 | Potentially dangerous | Urgent remedial action required |
| FI | Further investigation required | Investigation needed before safety confirmed |
| C3 | Improvement recommended | Not unsafe, but enhancement advised |
We’ll explain each finding in plain English and can provide a quotation for any corrective work.
Avoid Cheap and Rushed EICRs
Like many trades, the quality of inspection work varies. Low-priced, rushed EICRs performed by unqualified testers can miss serious issues or apply incorrect coding, giving you a false sense of security.
At S W Electrical Works Ltd, every report is completed by qualified electricians holding the City & Guilds 2391-52 Level 3 Inspection and Testing Award — ensuring your results are accurate, meaningful, and compliant.
