Inspection and Testing
Domestic Electrical Testing (EICR)
in Clanfield
Electrical faults are responsible for around fifty percent of house fires in the UK, this is according to the Electrical Safety-First organisation (the recognised authority on electrical safety). The best way to ensure your home doesn’t become a statistic for an electrical fire in Clanfield and the local areas of Bampton, Black Bourton and Radcot is to make sure the property has an up to date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) from a trusted local electrical firm like Prestige Heating and Electrical Services.
Landlords in Clanfield are legally required to arrange for an EICR every five years – or when there is a change of tenancy in their rental property. There’s no legislation for homeowners to have an EICR in Clanfield, but for safety’s sake it is recommended that it is done at least once every 10 years. It’s also becoming common practice to have an EICR performed in Clanfield when a property is sold.

What Happens when an EICR is Done?
When you call us to arrange an appointment for an EICR to be carried out at your Clanfield property you should be aware that the testing may take several hours depending on the size of the house to complete and there will be no power during this time.
Our electrical testing experts in Clanfield will perform a thorough check of all the fixed wiring in your home to ensure they are safe and compliant with regulations, and to find any potential issues.
The checks include not only wiring, but also the fuse board circuit breakers and Residual Current Devices, earthing and bonding arrangements, and other parts of your home’s electrical installation which are hidden from view.
The report is completed on site and then brought back to the office to be produced and signed by the electrician who carried out the testing.
If there are any electrical issues found they will be graded on the report as follows:
- C1 indicate an immediately dangerous situation and will have been dealt with straight away on site;
- C2 faults mean potential danger with immediate work needed
- C3 faults mean improvement is recommended
- FI means further investigation is needed without delay
We can provide a competitive quote to repair any electrical faults found.
