Questions about rewires and EICRs

What is an EICR?
An EICR is an Electrical Installation Conditioning Report. It is a thorough check of a property’s electrical installations, including wiring, sockets, fuse boxes, and lighting.
How long will I be without power for an EICR?

About four hours.

What happens if my house fails the test?

We list the remedials and issue a separate quote for them, unless something is classed as dangerous it is normally just a recommendation.

How long does a rewire take?

Between 5-8 days depending on the size of the property.

Do I have to move out?

No but it helps if you do, but you can stay in your house and we work around you.

Will there be much mess?

No, we fully clean up at the end of everyday and throughout the day as well.

Do you plaster up afterwards?

We do have an in house plastering  service if it’s required.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes always and building control notifications are done by us as well.

Questions about consumer units

What type of consumer units do you install?

We only fit the latest 18th edition consumer units with surge protection as standard.

How does surge protection benefit me?

It safeguards all your home’s electronics from potentially dangerous power surges.

What is RCBO protection and why is it important?

Each circuit has its own RCBO, meaning only the affected circuit switches off during a fault, minimising disruption.

Do I need a full rewire to improve safety?

Not necessarily, upgrading your consumer unit is an effective way to maximise protection without a complete rewire.

How long will I be without power?

About four hours.

How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost?

Prices are typically £600 to £800, including safe removal of the old unit, installation of the new one, reconnection, and full testing of your home’s electrics.

Will I get a certificate

Yes always and building control notifications are submitted by us.
