EICR & Fixed Wire Testing
A full inspection and test of your fixed wiring, coded to BS 7671: the clearest picture you can get of what decades of alterations have left behind.
Much of Hastings has stood on the coast for well over a century, and its wiring often shows it. We inspect, test and certify older installations, then explain the results in plain English.
Talk to a specialistPart P registered, with City & Guilds qualified electricians carrying out every inspection: credentials you can check, not just claim.
Every circuit inspected and coded to the current edition of the wiring regulations, which matters in housing as old as Hastings'.
Full £2m cover on every job, from a single flat's inspection in a converted house to a complete rewire of an ageing terrace.
The phone line is answered around the clock, because questions about an old installation rarely arrive at a convenient hour.
Much of Hastings was built in the Victorian era, and a house of that age has usually been rewired more than once, rarely all at the same time. Behind the walls you often find layers of work from different decades: rubber-insulated cable feeding one circuit, modern PVC on another, and a fuse board that predates both. An EICR is how you find out what is actually there.
The larger houses, in Hastings and adjoining St Leonards alike, bring a further complication: many were converted into flats at some point, and the electrics were divided up with them. That can leave shared circuits, ambiguous supplies and consumer units of very different vintages under one roof. Add the damp, salty air of the coast (hard on ageing accessories and outside fittings) and periodic inspection stops being a formality.
EICR Pro is the electrical safety certificate arm of Power Pros Electricians, working across Sussex. Our electricians are City & Guilds qualified, we are Part P registered, and every inspection is carried out and coded to the current edition of BS 7671. You get an itemised quote before any work, a report explained in plain English, and the certificate included in the price.
We can usually attend within a day, often the same day, and every quote is itemised before any work starts.

Rented homes in England need an EICR at least every five years. With so many Hastings houses split into flats, we keep landlords' certificates in date without drama.
Buying a Victorian house here often means buying its electrical history too. A pre-purchase EICR tells you what you are taking on before you commit.
Older boards with rewirable fuses are common in the town's ageing stock. We replace them with modern consumer units with RCD protection, certified on completion.
If an inspection finds faults, we set out each one in plain English with an itemised quote, so you fix what matters first: nothing padded, nothing vague.
Some installations reach the point where patching stops making sense. When a Hastings property needs a full or partial rewire, we plan it around your household and certify everything.
If your Hastings home or rental is overdue an inspection, or you have never seen a certificate for it, call us. The line is answered 24/7 and quotes are itemised before any work begins.
