EICR in Kelvedon
Need an EICR for a house, rental or outbuilding in Kelvedon? Lighting Electrical tests the main installation and any separate supplies, then records the condition of every circuit clearly. Valandi checks garden buildings and annexes as part of the property, including their cable protection, earthing and local distribution boards.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

How much does an EICR cost in Kelvedon?
An EICR in Kelvedon starts from £150, and that starting price buys the electrical safety report on the installation at your address.
- From £150 is a starting price, not a fixed figure, and a larger house, a workshop submain or a family annexe can take the visit past that starting point.
- Bronze and Silver maintenance plans include a free safety certificate once a year, and Gold includes free safety certificates three times a year, in place of a standalone EICR from £150.
EICR in Kelvedon
- An EICR in Kelvedon is an Electrical Installation Condition Report, the written safety check of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets and circuits at your address, from £150.
- A let house or flat needs a current EICR so tenants have a written electrical safety report on that Kelvedon installation.
- A buyer who wants the electrics in writing gets an EICR on that Kelvedon house, from £150.
- A Kelvedon house whose wiring has not been inspected for years is an EICR visit, not a repair call.
EICR testing on Kelvedon houses
- An EICR on a Kelvedon house follows the installation that is there, from Swan Street cottages to long plots off Inworth Road.
- Cottages along Swan Street often have no cavity and low ceilings, so EICR testing follows the cables in the existing voids.
- Plots off Inworth Road run back a long way, so the EICR includes the buried submain to a workshop and the circuits there.
- Barn conversions usually have a submain already, and the EICR checks whether it still suits what now gets plugged in.
What happens on the day

Testing the circuits
Each circuit is tested from the fuse board out to sockets, lights and any workshop or annexe, and residual current devices are included.

EICR questions in Kelvedon
Kelvedon customers ask these EICR questions, and the answers use the starting price of £150 and the property types in the village.
How much does an EICR cost in Kelvedon?+
An EICR in Kelvedon starts from £150. That starting price buys the electrical safety report on the installation at your address. A long plot with a workshop or a lived in annexe can take the visit past £150.
— Valandi Kotorri
Do you carry out EICR testing in Kelvedon?+
Yes, Lighting Electrical carries out EICR testing in Kelvedon for homeowners, landlords and businesses, from £150. The booking line answers calls any time. After the booking, the installation is tested at your address and you receive the written report.
— Valandi Kotorri
Does an EICR include a workshop at the back of an Inworth Road plot?+
Yes, the EICR should include the buried submain and the workshop circuits when they belong to the same installation. Plots off Inworth Road run back a long way, so the far end is part of the report. Fault finding from £75/hr can follow if that submain fails the tests.
How do you test a cottage on Swan Street?+
Testing follows the cables already in the voids, because cottages along Swan Street often have no cavity and low ceilings. The fuse board, sockets and lights are still tested. Opening solid walls for new cable runs is not part of the EICR itself.
Should a family annexe be on the EICR?+
Yes, if family live in the annexe it belongs on the EICR because lighting, sockets and heating share one supply. The inspection is sized for a whole building rather than a summer house. The starting price remains from £150, and a second building on the same supply is one reason a visit can rise above that figure.
How is an EICR done on a barn conversion in Kelvedon?+
The EICR on a barn conversion still starts from £150, and the extra question is whether the submain already there suits what now gets plugged in. Barn conversions usually have a submain already. Work to change that submain is a separate quote if the report says it is not suitable.
What happens if the EICR finds faults?+
An unsatisfactory EICR means work is still needed before the installation can be recorded as satisfactory. The codes on the report point to fault finding from £75/hr, a consumer unit from £450, or house rewiring from £2,400 when that is what the findings call for. Lighting Electrical quotes that next job from the report on your Kelvedon property.
Is an EICR the same as PAT testing?+
No. An EICR from £150 is the report on the fixed wiring, fuse board and circuits, while PAT testing from £95 checks plug in appliances. A Kelvedon landlord can need both, as two different documents. The EICR visit does not test kettles, lamps or other portable equipment.
