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.
