Inspection and Testing
Wantage - Periodic Domestic Electrical Testing
According to the Electrical Safety-First organisation (the recognised technical authority on electrical safety), Electrical faults are responsible for around half of all house fires in the UK. The best way to ensure your home doesn’t become a statistic in Wantage and the local areas of East Challow, Uffington and Grove is to ensure your property has an up to date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) from a trusted local electrical firm like Prestige Heating and Electrical Services.
An EICR is issued to Wantage homeowners and landlords once a comprehensive inspection and test of the electrical systems and installation of a residence is carried out. Prestige has a team of competent, certified and qualified electrical testers serving the OX12 postcode area who carry out EICR inspections and testing in households in and around Wantage and the local villages.
Landlords in Wantage are now legally required to arrange for an EICR every five years – or when there is a change of tenancy in their rental property. There is no law compelling homeowners to have an EICR in Wantage, but for safety’s sake it is recommended that it is done at least once every 10 years. It’s also becoming common practice now to have an EICR performed in Wantage when a property when it is being sold.

EICR Codes for Remedial Electrical Work in Wantage
Each property in Wantage 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 Wantage 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 Wantage 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.
We do electrical testing in the Wantage postcode areas, including OX12 as well as the outlying areas.
