EICR & Fixed Wire Testing
A full periodic inspection of the fixed wiring, coded to the current BS 7671 and reported in plain English, written for buildings that have been altered more than once.
Dense period stock, conversions, student lets and HMOs. Brighton & Hove asks more of an electrical inspection than most places, and more of the paperwork afterwards. We test, code and certify to the current edition of BS 7671.
Talk to a specialistPart P registered, so the certificates behind an HMO or letting file come from an assessed, accountable contractor.
Every observation is coded to the current edition of the wiring regulations, whether the circuit dates from last year or last century.
Full cover for working in occupied flats and shared houses, where an inspection means moving through other people's homes.
Tenancy changeovers and renewal deadlines rarely land in office hours; the phone is answered around the clock, every day.
Brighton & Hove is the city along the coast to our west, and it holds the densest housing stock we inspect anywhere. Tall period buildings divided into flats, student lets that turn over every summer, HMOs where one fuse board can serve several tenancies at once. Wiring in stock like this has usually been altered many times by many hands, and the paperwork has to keep pace.
The rules are strictest exactly where the stock is most complicated. Any rented home in England needs an EICR at least every five years under the 2020 regulations, and an HMO or student let is no exception; if anything, its certificate tends to be asked for more often and by more people. For anyone who owns and occupies, including buyers of converted flats, every ten years is the usual recommendation.

Rented homes need an EICR at least every five years. For HMOs and student lets we schedule around tenants and keep the paperwork ready for whoever asks.
Buying a converted flat means buying its wiring history. A pre-purchase EICR sets out the installation's true condition before you commit, in plain English rather than codes alone.
Older boards in subdivided buildings often predate modern protection. We upgrade to current standards, with the quote itemised first and certification included in the price.
When a report lists C1 or C2 observations, we price each fix as a separate itemised line, so you see exactly what the certificate is waiting on.
Some conversions have simply run out of safe alterations. Where rewiring is the honest answer, we say so, plan around tenancies and certify the finished installation.
If you manage an HMO, let to students or own a converted flat in Brighton & Hove, call us. The line is answered 24/7 and every quote is itemised before work begins.
