EICR Testing in Eccleshall
Your Trusted Experts for EICR Testing in Eccleshall
Electrical safety isn’t something you can leave to chance. That’s why EICR testing is one of the most important checks you can have done on your property in Eccleshall. At Makse Electrical & Renewables, our NAPIT-approved electricians carry out thorough, professional EICR inspections in Eccleshall. We don’t just hand you a report and leave. We explain your results in plain English and guide you through any next steps. Eccleshall is a historic market town surrounded by rural Staffordshire countryside. The area has a mix of characterful older homes, converted farm buildings, and more recent residential developments. Rural and semi-rural properties often have unique electrical challenges — from long cable runs and outbuilding connections to installations that haven’t been touched since the property was first built. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) gives you a complete, certified picture of your property’s electrical condition. It highlights what is safe, what requires improvement, and what poses an immediate risk — all clearly set out in a report that satisfies UK legal and insurance requirements.

How Our EICR Testing Process Works?
We keep the EICR process in Eccleshall simple, clear, and hassle-free from start to finish. Here’s what to expect when you book with Makse Electrical & Renewables.
Initial Consultation
We start with a brief conversation about your Eccleshall property — its type, age, size, and any specific electrical concerns you have. This allows us to plan a thorough inspection that is tailored to your property and covers everything it needs to.
On-Site Electrical Inspection
Our qualified electrician arrives at your property and carries out a full, systematic check of all accessible wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, light fittings, RCD protection, and your consumer unit. We use professional testing equipment and work to the current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations throughout.
Coded EICR Report
Once the inspection is complete, we compile your full Electrical Installation Condition Report. Each finding is clearly coded by risk level — C1 for immediate danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for a recommended improvement, and FI where further investigation is required. We walk you through every point before we leave so you fully understand your report.
Remedial Work
If any faults or areas of non-compliance are found, we provide a straightforward, no-obligation quote for the necessary remedial work. Our electricians carry out all repairs to the required standard — then retest and issue your satisfactory EICR certificate once everything is confirmed safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do rural and farm properties in Eccleshall need a separate EICR for outbuildings?
If an outbuilding, barn, or farm structure has its own electrical installation or is supplied from the main property’s consumer unit, it should be included as part of the EICR. Outbuilding wiring is often older and more exposed to damp and physical damage than indoor installations — making it even more important to have it properly assessed. Let us know in advance about any outbuildings so we can factor them into the inspection and quote.
We've recently converted a barn or outbuilding — does it need an EICR?
Yes. Any habitable space with an electrical installation should have a valid EICR. If the conversion involved new electrical work, there should already be an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for that work. However, as the installation ages, periodic EICR testing will still be required to confirm it remains in a safe condition.
How does an EICR help with home insurance in Eccleshall?
Many home insurers — particularly for older and rural properties — require a valid EICR as a condition of cover. Without one, you risk having a claim related to an electrical fault rejected. An up-to-date EICR demonstrates to your insurer that the electrical installation has been professionally assessed and is in a safe, compliant condition.
Can you inspect a property that has no current electrical certification at all?
Absolutely. We regularly inspect properties that have never had a formal electrical assessment. Our EICR gives you a complete starting point — identifying the current condition of the installation and any work needed to bring it up to the required standard.
