What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?

Accepted Answer

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed. As a landlord you must get those fixed within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, then get written confirmation and send it to your tenant and to East Devon District Council within 28 days if they ask.

Question 7

How do I check an electrician is properly registered?

Accepted Answer

Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.

Question 8

Can I add to the wiring in a new build in Cranbrook?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's often easy because there's space in the board. Check first that it won't affect your warranty, and use a registered electrician so the work is certified. Extra sockets, outside power and EV chargers are the most common add-ons we see in Cranbrook.

Question 9

Do I need a full rewire in Cranbrook, or just a new fuse box?

Accepted Answer

Get an EICR first, around £190. It tests the cables themselves, so you'll know whether the old wiring is sound enough for a new board (about £580) or whether a rewire (about £5,200) is really needed. Plenty of Cranbrook homes only need the board.

Question 10

Do you cover the villages round Cranbrook, like Broadclyst and Whimple?

Accepted Answer

We do. The an EICR prices on this page already include jobs in Broadclyst, Whimple, Rockbeare, Clyst Honiton. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Cranbrook work, so the next slot (in 6 days) normally applies to you too.

Question 11

Do holiday lets in Cranbrook need an EICR?

Accepted Answer

The five-year legal rule covers tenancies, not holiday lets. Most insurers and booking platforms still expect one, though, and it's the easiest way to prove the place is safe if anything goes wrong. Plenty of Cranbrook owners book it between seasons alongside a PAT test.

Question 12

How do Cranbrook prices for an EICR compare with Topsham?

Accepted Answer

Cranbrook typically comes in at £185 and Topsham at £190, with Devon as a whole around £190. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.

Accepted Answer
