# EICR in Dedham

> EICR testing in Dedham by Lighting Electrical, covering High Street and Southfields. NAPIT registered with a signed certificate. · 4.7 Star from 61 reviews

Lighting Electrical carries out EICR testing in Dedham for landlords, buyers and businesses, leaving every property a signed report that classifies each circuit.


## What changes the cost of an EICR

The price covers the visit, every test on the circuits and the written report signed on site. What moves it is the number of circuits to test and how long the property takes.
- EICR: from £150
- A flat with a handful of circuits costs less than a house or premises wired with many.
- Remedial work is never part of the inspection fee; repairs are quoted separately in writing once the findings are known.
- The likely time on site is confirmed when the visit is quoted, so there are no surprises on the day.

## What happens on the day

An EICR visit tests the fixed wiring, and parts of that testing run with the supply switched off, so expect the lights and sockets to go out.

### Arrival and walk round

The visit starts at the consumer unit, with a look at how the home or workplace is laid out. You can point out sockets, lighting points or breakers that have been troubling you.

### Isolation and circuit testing

The supply is isolated, then circuits are tested one by one. Sockets and lighting lose power while their circuit is tested, and each supply is restored once its tests finish.

### Report and certificate

The EICR is completed on site, anything marked C1 or C2 is explained, and the certificate is left with you. Danger found during testing is made safe before we go.

## EICR questions answered


### How much does an EICR cost in Dedham?

The figure depends on how many circuits the property has and how long testing takes. The price covers the visit, all circuit testing and the written report, and it is confirmed before booking.

### How long does an EICR take?

A small property fits inside a morning, while larger homes and commercial premises can run to a full day, with the expected duration given when the visit is quoted.

### Do I have to be in during the test?

A person with keys must open the door and stay while parts of the testing run with the power cut. Where a landlord books, the tenant can be that person.

### What do C1, C2, C3 and FI mean?

A C1 code means danger present, so that item gets made safe before we go. C2 means potentially dangerous and fails the result. C3 is a suggested improvement and FI calls for further investigation.

### How many years does an EICR last?

For rented homes the report needs renewing each five years, or sooner where a tenancy changes and the existing one has run out. Owner occupied homes have no set cycle, but a new report is asked for at sale or remortgage.
