What is an EICR and do I need one?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal document that assesses the safety of electrical installations in a property.

You need an EICR if:

  • You're a landlord (legally required every 5 years)
  • You're selling a property
  • You want to ensure your home's electrical safety

We provide clear reports with any necessary remedial work quoted separately.

How long does an EICR take?

Typically 1-3 hours depending on property size:

  • 1-2 bed flat: 1-2 hours
  • 3-4 bed house: 2-3 hours
  • Commercial premises: quoted based on size

You'll receive the report within 24 hours of inspection.

Do you do PAT testing for businesses?

Yes, we provide PAT testing for offices, retail, HMOs and commercial premises. We offer:

  • Full appliance testing and labelling

  • Complete documentation and certificates
Can you fix electrical faults?

Yes, we diagnose and repair all common electrical issues:

  • Tripping circuits
  • Dead sockets or lights
  • Faulty switches

We provide clear diagnosis before starting any work.

What's included in an end of tenancy clean?

Our end of tenancy cleaning is checklist-led to inventory standard:

Carpet and upholstery cleaning are available as add-ons.

What's your re-clean policy?

We offer a 48-hour re-clean policy. If your landlord or agent identifies any cleaning-related issues within 48 hours of your clean, we'll return to address them at no extra cost. This does not cover new dirt or issues caused after the clean.

Do you clean ovens and carpets?

Do I need to be there during the clean?

No, you don't need to be present. We can arrange key collection, use a key safe, or collect from a local agent. Many tenants have already moved out before the clean. We just need clear access instructions arranged in advance.

How long does a room take to paint?

Typical timings for a standard bedroom/living room:

  • 1 painter: 1-2 days depending on condition and prep needed
