Inspection and Testing
Electrical Testing in Fairford Homes
The Which? Consumer group says on average four people a day are injured or killed fires related to electrical faults. They recommend every home should have a regular electrical safety test to ensure that the occupants and property are not casualties of an electrical fire. We are experienced Fairford electricians who regularly see the potential risks of dangerous wiring and we fully support this recommendation.
The leading technical authority on electrical safety in the UK is the organisation Electrical Safety First and also advise that like elsewhere in the country private homeowners in Fairford should get an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) from a qualified, reputable Fairford electrical firm at least every 10 years. This is vital for your own safety and to protect your home. Some household insurance companies may refuse to pay out on an insurance claim if they feel any the damage occurred was the result of neglected electrical faults. You should also arrange an EICR in Fairford if you are buying a property, whatever its age or condition to make sure the electrics are safe and the working.
Landlords in Fairford have a legal responsibility to keep their tenants safe, and an EICR electrical test is required every five years, or when there is a change of tenancy.

EICR Codes for Remedial Electrical Work in Fairford
Each property in Fairford is different, so the amount of time an electrical test takes varies. During the course of the electrical testing your power will be turned off.
Our electrical testing experts in Fairford 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. During the test our Fairford electrician will fill in a detailed multi-paged report, and once it has been produced and signed off you’ll be sent a copy by email or post.
On the report any faults found are categorised. C1 faults indicate an immediately dangerous situation and would have been dealt with straight away on site; any C2 faults found mean potential danger with immediate work needed; any C3 faults found mean improvement is recommended; and an FI means further investigation is needed without delay.
