EICR Reports in Yeovil

Yeovil is at the far side of our patch, so we book testing work in rather than promising to be there the same afternoon. What we will always do is tell you honestly when we can get to you. We carry out EICRs for landlords, homeowners and businesses across the town. An EICR is a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property, and it is the report that tells you whether the installation is safe to keep using. We are NAPIT registered with over eighteen years of testing experience.

A Town Built Around Industry

Yeovil grew around manufacturing, and that has shaped its buildings. Alongside the Victorian terraces and the large post-war estates there is a lot of commercial and light industrial property, plus town centre flats and conversions. Industrial and workshop installations wear differently to houses. Vibration, dust and heavy loads all take their toll on connections, and equipment gets added to circuits that were never sized for it. Testing is how that gets caught before it stops production.

EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)

We inspect and test the fixed wiring throughout: consumer unit or distribution board, every circuit, sockets, switches, earthing and bonding. Each circuit is tested, which is what distinguishes a real EICR from a visual check. Everything found is coded. C1 means danger is present and needs immediate attention. C2 means potentially dangerous. C3 is advisory. FI means it needs further investigation. We explain the report rather than just handing it over.

Commercial Fixed Wire Testing

Fixed wire testing is the same inspection applied to business premises, and it is a large part of what we do. Offices, workshops, retail units and industrial premises all need their fixed wiring tested on a schedule, and insurers routinely ask to see a current report. Larger sites can be tested in sections over several visits so nothing has to shut down. We work around your hours wherever it is possible.

Landlord Certificates

Rented property in Yeovil needs an EICR at least every five years and the tenant needs a copy of it. A new tenancy cannot start without one. Any C1 or C2 items must be put right within twenty eight days. We test, report and price any remedial work separately, and you are free to have that work done by whoever you choose.

The Benefits of Regular Electrical Inspections

Avoiding Downtime

For a business, an electrical failure is lost trading time. Scheduled testing finds the weak points before they take a circuit out.

Keeping Insurers Happy

Commercial policies increasingly depend on being able to show the fixed wiring has been tested. A current report keeps that straightforward.

Meeting Legal Duties

Employers and landlords both carry duties around electrical safety. Testing is the practical way of showing they have been met.

Spotting Overloaded Circuits

Equipment gets added over the years without anyone checking the circuit can take it. Testing shows where that has happened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an EICR cost in Yeovil?

Domestic work is priced on the number of circuits, so a flat costs less than a four bedroom house. Commercial premises are priced on the size of the installation and the number of distribution boards. Tell us what the property is and we will give you a figure before we travel.

Can you test our premises out of hours?

Usually yes, and for many businesses that is the sensible way to do it. Larger sites can also be tested in sections across a few visits so no part of the operation stops for long. We agree the plan with you before we start.

How often should commercial premises be tested?

It depends on the type of premises and how hard the installation works, and the report itself will recommend a date for the next inspection. Many commercial installations are tested every five years, with harsher environments checked more often.
