What we inspect

What an EICR Milton Keynes inspection covers

An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of your property's fixed electrical installation. It finds damaged, deteriorated or non-compliant parts that could present a risk of electric shock or fire. Our qualified inspectors check:

  • Consumer unit (fuse board) and main switchgear
  • Distribution boards
  • Earthing and protective bonding
  • Circuit protective devices (MCBs, RCBOs and RCDs)
  • Socket outlets and switches
  • Lighting circuits and accessories
  • Emergency lighting circuits where applicable
  • Cables where accessible
  • Electrical accessories and fixed equipment
  • Polarity, insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance
  • Verification of safety devices and disconnection times
Your report

Understanding your EICR

Every observation is classified using the nationally recognised coding system:

  • C1

    Danger present

    Immediate risk requiring urgent action.

  • C2

    Potentially dangerous

    Urgent remedial work required.

  • C3

    Improvement recommended

    Does not affect overall safety, but upgrading is advised.

  • FI

    Further investigation

    More investigation is needed before the installation can be fully assessed.

An installation only receives a Satisfactory outcome if no C1, C2 or FI observations are found.

Very responsive and a quick solution. Would definitely recommend

I use Haitham and his company for all electrical work, both in my home and for my carpentry business, from lighting in media units to full rewires, whatever is required. Great communication, clear pricing and high standard finish. Highly recommend their services.

I contacted Dream Home Electrical after trying and failing to fix a constant noise in my extractor fan. Haitham responded quickly with a clear, reasonably priced proposal for a replacement. The installation went smoothly, and it was clear Haitham is highly knowledgeable; he even took the time to explain the common issues with my old unit. He was also incredibly patient and kind when an unexpected meeting delayed our final walkthrough and payment. The new fan has worked perfectly since it was installed in April. I highly recommend Haitham and his team!

Had a sudden power loss with circuit breaker popping, contacted Haitham he gave me a specific time when he could come, explained costs upfront. He arrived at the promised time, investigated and solved the problem and also explained the fault clearly. Good service, made promise and kept promise and charged a reasonable rate, highly recommend him .

We needed an electrician to replace some out of date ceiling lights in the shower room. Thankfully we found Haitham Al-Ali at dheltd. Although it was quite a small job, we spent some time discussing it, both what type of lights we wanted as well as how and when the job would be done. He kindly sourced the lights and after confirmation from us bought them. There was some adjustment need to the fuse box, which he explained. The lights are just what we wanted and look great. He was very professional, thorough, very tidy and cleaned up at the end of the work. We would definitely recommend him. Wendy & Brian

We were having our kitchen re fitted to an integrated one with little knowledge about how the electrics should change. Haitham came out to price the job on the same day and carried out the job the day after. We were very pleased with his quality of work and knowledge about fitted kitchen electrics as he guided us on how they should be installed. I cannot recommend them enough for your kitchen electrics.

Haitham replaced a bathroom extractor fan for us and investigated and fixed some lighting issues. He arrived on time, was courteous and work was carried out to a very good quality. Happy to recommend.

Haitham was a pleasure to deal with. Great communication and arrived each time as planned. No job too big or too small and he is very skilled and efficient. I would highly recommend his electrical services.

Prompt and excellent service. Good communication before, during and after the visit. Haitham arrived on time and conducted a thorough inspection. He kept me informed of his progress throughout and pointed out any items that needed possible rectification. He was very courteous and showed respect for the property. He even did some small repairs that saved us the added expense of getting another contractor in, I would highly recommend him and his company.

Haitham is the best electrician we ever had, he’s professional, friendly and super tidy! He laid dust sheet down and cleared up nicely after the job. Would definitely recommend.

All my experiences with Dream Home Electrical have been extremely positive. The first time was an emergency call out when the lights went out in my house, Haitham was over within a couple hours, found the fault and repaired it there and then, whilst also noticing other problems I didnt realise were there. The second time was a bigger job, replacing the old fuse box with a new one. The work was efficient and tidy. This is a very professional company and Haitham really knows his stuff, friendly and fairly priced for great work. Even the little things like always wearing shoe covers when in the house are always a welcome little extra bit of care. I have already recommended them to other people.

Very impressed with the customer service and the advice given. Very efficient, polite and friendly. Also impressed at how quickly they were able to come out and fix the problem (same day). Would definitely use this service again and will be recommending to friends and family.

Mr H was prompt, professional and very experienced. His work was amazing and I will call him again.

I have used Haitham for reasonably substantial upgrades to my last two houses. I make a point of contacting him first and would rather wait for him to be available than go somewhere else just because they might be able to fit me in more quickly. Always know the work will be spot on and I am getting a quality job at a fair and reasonable price.

Morris Parker

H Macdonald

Haitham responded quickly to time-limited request for Electrical Installation Condition Report. He provided useful information up front and a competitive price, as well as offering to prioritise the report. True to his word, the report was available the very next working day. He was polite and professional, and explained what was happening at every stage of the process. Very pleased with the service.

Questions

EICR and electrical testing FAQs

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a detailed inspection and test of a property's fixed electrical installation. It identifies damaged, deteriorated or non-compliant electrical components that could present a risk of electric shock or fire, and confirms whether the installation complies with the latest edition of BS 7671. Our EICR Milton Keynes inspections cover homes, rental properties and commercial premises.

How often do I need an EICR?

An EICR is recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes, and every 5 years or at every change of tenancy for rented properties. It is also recommended before you buy a property, after major alterations or extensions, and where an installation is old or has never been inspected. For businesses, the interval depends on the type of premises and how the installation is used, and we can advise on the right interval for you.

Is PAT testing a legal requirement?

In the working environment, Health and Safety legislation requires electrical testing on portable appliances to be carried out on a regular basis. Landlords should also have the electrical appliances they provide tested annually to keep tenants safe. We can PAT test all your equipment as part of your EICR Milton Keynes booking or on its own.

What does emergency lighting testing involve?

BS 5266 sets out a monthly function check and a more thorough annual test, and both must be completed and recorded. A proper test covers the full system across every floor, not a single fitting checked in isolation. We schedule tests around normal operating hours wherever possible.

Will I get a certificate after new electrical work?

Yes. New circuits, rewires and consumer unit changes receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, and smaller alterations or additions to an existing circuit receive a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. Both confirm the work has been tested to BS 7671.

What happens if faults are found?

Observations are coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, and an installation only receives a Satisfactory outcome if there are no C1, C2 or FI items. Where remedial work is required, we give you a clear quotation with a straightforward explanation. We never recommend unnecessary work, so you can trust your EICR Milton Keynes report.
