What Our Electrical Testing in Manchester Covers
An EICR combines inspection with relevant electrical tests to assess an existing installation for continued use. Findings are assessed against BS 7671 within the agreed extent and limitations.
Wiring & Accessories
Inspect accessible cables, sockets, switches and connections for damage, deterioration and signs of overheating.
Consumer Units & Distribution Boards
Assess enclosure condition, circuit identification and the suitability of protective devices.
Earthing & Bonding
Examine and test relevant protective arrangements that help reduce electric shock risks during a fault.
Circuit Testing
Complete applicable tests, including continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation.
Access restrictions, agreed sampling and testing limitations are recorded. Concealed wiring is not automatically exposed.
Repairs, portable appliance testing and specialist-system checks are separate unless expressly included in your quotation.
Your Electrical Installation Condition Report
Following the inspection in Manchester, your EICR records:
- Installation details, inspection extent and limitations.
- Inspection schedules, circuit information and test results.
- Observations and their classifications.
- A satisfactory or unsatisfactory overall assessment.
- The recommended interval before the next inspection.
We explain the findings and which actions need priority.
| Code | Meaning | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Danger present | Immediate remedial action |
| C2 | Potentially dangerous | Urgent remedial action |
| FI | Further investigation | Investigation without delay |
| C3 | Improvement recommended | Consider the advised improvement |
C1, C2 or FI observations result in an unsatisfactory assessment. C3 alone does not.
The report records the condition found at inspection. It does not guarantee future safety or confirm that later repairs have been completed.

Before You Book
Electrical safety certificate” commonly refers to an EICR. Our inspection provides an Electrical Installation Condition Report assessing an existing installation. An Electrical Installation Certificate is different: it documents the verification of new installation work or certain alterations.
Duration depends on the installation’s size, circuit count, condition and accessibility. We discuss the expected time when agreeing the work.
Some tests require electrical isolation. Tell us about essential equipment, occupants and operating restrictions before booking so necessary interruptions can be planned.
We explain the observations and their priorities. Immediate dangers require immediate action. Any further investigation or repairs need an agreed scope, followed by appropriate testing and documentation. Repairs do not automatically replace the original report with a new satisfactory EICR.
Arrange access to consumer units, distribution boards and relevant rooms or equipment. Make previous reports available and tell occupants about agreed power interruptions. Do not remove electrical covers yourself.
Our service focuses on electrical installations. When choosing a compliance inspection company in Manchester, check which inspections and documents its quotation covers. Gas safety, EPCs, fire-risk assessments and specialist-system checks are not automatically included in an EICR.
