EICR Testing in Bolton

EICR testing in Bolton for homeowners, landlords and buyers. ANR Electrics checks the condition of your wiring, sockets and consumer unit and gives you a clear report on anything that needs doing.

What the Codes on Your Report Mean

Each problem on an EICR gets a code. C1 means danger is present and needs fixing now. C2 means it is potentially dangerous. C3 means an improvement is recommended. FI means something needs further checking. Any C1, C2 or FI gives an unsatisfactory result overall.

EICR Rules for Landlords

Private landlords in England must have the electrics tested at least every five years. You need to give a copy of the report to tenants, and to the council if they ask. If the report finds problems, the law sets a deadline for fixing them, usually within 28 days.

Why Homeowners Get Tested Too

An EICR is useful when you buy a house, before a big renovation, or if your wiring has not been checked in years. The usual advice for owner occupied homes is a test every ten years. It gives you a clear picture of the condition of your electrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does EICR testing take in Bolton?

EICR testing on a typical two or three bedroom house takes around three to four hours. Larger homes or ones with extra circuits take longer. The power has to be switched off for parts of the test, so let us know if anything needs to stay on.

How much is an EICR for a rental property in Bolton?

The price of an EICR depends mainly on the number of circuits and the size of the property. A one bedroom flat is quicker to test than a large house with an outbuilding. Tell us the size and type of property and we will give you a price.

What happens if my Bolton property fails its EICR?

If your EICR comes back unsatisfactory, the report lists what needs fixing. Landlords have a set time to get the work done. Once the repairs are finished, you get written confirmation that the work is complete. We can carry out the repairs for you.
