EICR Testing in Newport
Your Trusted Experts for EICR Testing in Newport
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 Newport. At Makse Electrical & Renewables, our NAPIT-approved electricians carry out thorough, professional EICR inspections in Newport. We don’t just hand you a report and leave. We explain your results in plain English and guide you through any next steps. Newport is a busy market town with a growing mix of residential and commercial properties. Whether you own a family home, manage a rental portfolio, or run a local business, keeping on top of your electrical safety is essential. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) gives you a complete, certified picture of your property’s electrical health. It identifies what’s safe, what needs attention, and what must be fixed urgently — all clearly explained in a formal report that meets current UK legal requirements.

How Our EICR Testing Process Works?
At Makse Electrical & Renewables, we keep every step clear, straightforward, and stress-free from the moment you get in touch to the moment you receive your certificate.
Initial Consultation
We kick things off with a quick chat about your property. We find out whether it’s residential or commercial, how old the building is, and whether you have any existing electrical concerns. This helps us carry out a focused, thorough inspection that addresses your specific situation.
On-Site Electrical Inspection
Our qualified electrician arrives at your Newport property and works through a comprehensive inspection of all accessible electrical circuits, sockets, switches, light fittings, RCD protection devices, and your consumer unit. Every element is tested using professional equipment and assessed against current UK wiring standards.
Coded EICR Report
Once the inspection is complete, we put together your full Electrical Installation Condition Report. Every finding is given a code — C1 for immediate danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for recommended improvement, and FI for further investigation. We take you through the report clearly so nothing is left unclear.
Remedial Work
If any faults or non-compliant elements are identified, we provide a no-obligation quote for any necessary repairs or upgrades. Our electricians carry out remedial work to the required standard — then retest and issue your satisfactory EICR certificate once everything is resolved.
Our EICR Testing Services in Newport
Domestic EICR Testing in Newport
Your home’s wiring deserves regular attention. Our domestic EICR testing checks every accessible circuit, socket, switch, and consumer unit in your Newport property. Electrical installations deteriorate over time — and problems can build up silently without any obvious warning signs. We recommend homeowners book a periodic electrical inspection every 10 years, or at the point of buying or selling a property.
Landlord EICR Testing in Newport
Renting out a property in Newport means you’re legally responsible for its electrical safety. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to carry out an EICR at least every five years and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000. We make the process easy for Newport landlords — with prompt bookings, minimal disruption, and digital certificates issued after every inspection.
Commercial EICR Testing in Newport
Newport businesses have a legal duty to keep their electrical installations safe under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. We carry out commercial EICR testing for offices, retail units, hospitality venues, warehouses, and public buildings. Most commercial properties require inspection every three to five years. We help Newport businesses stay compliant and avoid unnecessary downtime caused by electrical faults.
Pre-Purchase EICR in Newport
Buying a property in Newport? Make sure you know the full condition of the electrical installation before you commit. A pre-purchase EICR can uncover faults that a standard survey would miss — potentially saving you from significant repair costs after completion. Many mortgage lenders and insurers also request a valid EICR before proceeding. We deliver fast, reliable reports so your purchase stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a satisfactory and unsatisfactory EICR?
A satisfactory EICR means no C1 or C2 faults were found during the inspection. The installation is considered safe and compliant. An unsatisfactory EICR means one or more serious faults were identified. This doesn’t mean your property is immediately dangerous in every case, but it does mean remedial work is required before a satisfactory certificate can be issued.
As a Newport landlord, what happens if I don't provide the EICR to my tenant on time?
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, you must provide a copy of the EICR to your tenant within 28 days of the inspection. Failing to do so can result in a fine of up to £30,000 issued by your local authority. We issue digital certificates promptly after every inspection to make compliance straightforward.
Do you test appliances as part of the EICR inspection?
No — an EICR covers the fixed electrical installation only. This includes wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, consumer units, and light fittings. Portable appliance testing (PAT testing) is a separate service that covers individual electrical appliances and equipment.
Can I request an EICR for just part of my property?
An EICR is designed to cover the full electrical installation of a property. Partial inspections are not recommended as they cannot give you a complete picture of electrical safety. For an accurate and legally valid report, the entire accessible installation needs to be assessed.
How do I prepare my Newport property for an EICR inspection?
Make sure our electrician can access all rooms, the consumer unit, and any outbuildings with electrical installations. Clear any obstructions around your fuse board. Let your tenants know in advance if the property is occupied. That’s all you need to do — we handle everything else.
