Electrical systems need to be checked regularly to make sure they remain safe and compliant with UK regulations. At BSJ Electrical, we provide professional electrical testing and inspections, including EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports), for homeowners, landlords and businesses across Chelmsford, Essex, Hertfordshire and London.

​

An EICR is a formal inspection of your electrical installation. It identifies any potential hazards, defects or areas of non-compliance with wiring regulations (BS 7671), giving you peace of mind that your property is safe.

 

 

Who Needs an EICR?

​

• Homeowners – recommended every 10 years, or when buying/selling a property

• Landlords – legally required every 5 years, or at the start of each new tenancy

• Businesses – required at intervals depending on the type of premises, typically every 3–5 years

 

 

What We Check During an Inspection

 

Our qualified electricians carry out thorough testing, including:

​

• Visual inspection of wiring, sockets, switches and fittings

• Testing of circuits for overloading, damage or deterioration

• Checking for proper earthing and bonding

• Verification of safety devices such as RCDs

• Identifying any non-compliance with current wiring regulations

 

Following the inspection, we provide a detailed EICR certificate outlining the condition of your electrical installation, along with recommendations for any necessary remedial work.
