EICR Testing in Shifnal
Your Trusted Experts for EICR Testing in Shifnal
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 Shifnal. At Makse Electrical & Renewables, our NAPIT-approved electricians carry out thorough, professional EICR inspections in Shifnal. We don’t just hand you a report and leave. We explain your results in plain English and guide you through any next steps. Shifnal is a charming market town with a blend of characterful period properties and modern residential developments. Older homes in particular can harbour electrical installations that haven’t been reviewed in decades — and even newer properties aren’t immune to wiring faults or substandard modifications. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the only way to get a certified, independent assessment of your property’s electrical health. Our qualified electricians inspect every accessible part of the installation and produce a clear, coded report that meets current UK safety and legal standards.

How Our EICR Testing Process Works?
At Makse Electrical & Renewables, every EICR in Shifnal follows a clear, structured process — so you always know what’s happening and why.
Initial Consultation
We start with a quick conversation to understand your Shifnal property. We ask about the building type, its age, and any specific electrical concerns you may have. This helps us prepare thoroughly and carry out an inspection that’s tailored to your exact situation.
On-Site Electrical Inspection
Our qualified electrician arrives at your Shifnal property and carries out a comprehensive, systematic inspection. We test all accessible wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, light fittings, RCD devices, and your consumer unit — using professional equipment and working to the current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations throughout.
Coded EICR Report
After completing the inspection, we compile your full Electrical Installation Condition Report. Every observation is assigned a clear risk code — C1 for immediate danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for a recommended improvement, and FI where further investigation is needed. We go through every finding with you in plain language before we leave.
Remedial Work
If any faults or non-compliant elements are identified, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote for the repairs required. Our electricians resolve all issues to the required standard — then retest and issue your satisfactory EICR certificate once everything is confirmed safe and compliant.
Our EICR Testing Services in Shifnal
Domestic EICR Testing in Shifnal
Shifnal’s housing stock includes everything from centuries-old period homes to modern new build estates. Our domestic EICR testing covers the full electrical installation in your home — including wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, and your consumer unit. Older properties may have wiring that is well past its safe working life. We recommend homeowners arrange a periodic electrical inspection every 10 years, or at any change of ownership.
Landlord EICR Testing in Shifnal
Letting a property in Shifnal comes with clear legal obligations under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Landlords must arrange a valid EICR at least every five years and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Failing to comply risks fines of up to £30,000. We work with Shifnal landlords and letting agents to keep compliance simple — with fast turnaround bookings and digital certificates every time.
Commercial EICR Testing in Shifnal
Shifnal businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe electrical installations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Whether you run an office, a retail unit, or a light industrial premises, your electrical systems must be regularly inspected and kept in a safe condition for all who use the building. We carry out commercial EICR testing across Shifnal — typically on a three to five year cycle depending on the nature and intensity of use.
Pre-Purchase EICR in Shifnal
Buying a property in Shifnal? A pre-purchase EICR is an essential step before you exchange. Shifnal has a number of older and period properties where the original wiring may never have been replaced or updated. A pre-purchase EICR reveals what condition the electrical installation is really in — giving you the information you need to negotiate, plan repairs, or walk away if necessary. We provide fast reports so your purchase stays on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a period property in Shifnal need a different type of EICR?
No — the same EICR process applies to all properties regardless of age. However, older and period properties in Shifnal often require more careful assessment because they may contain outdated wiring types such as rubber-insulated cables or aluminium wiring, which carry specific risks. Our electricians are experienced in inspecting all property types and know exactly what to look for in older installations.
Can I use the same EICR for multiple purposes — tenancy compliance, insurance, and sale?
Yes. A valid EICR issued by a qualified electrician satisfies multiple requirements at once. It can be used to demonstrate landlord compliance, meet insurer requirements, and provide assurance to potential buyers — all from a single inspection and certificate. We’ll make sure your report covers everything you need.
What if my property in Shifnal has had DIY electrical work carried out previously?
DIY electrical work is one of the most common causes of EICR non-compliance. If previous work wasn’t done to the required standard or wasn’t signed off correctly, our inspection will identify the issues. We’ll explain what was done incorrectly and provide a clear quote to bring everything up to the required standard safely.
How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing as a result of the EICR?
If your consumer unit is outdated — for example, it still uses rewirable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers — or if it lacks adequate RCD protection, it is likely to be flagged on your EICR. We’ll explain whether a replacement is recommended or required, and can provide a competitive quote for a new consumer unit installation if needed.
