EICR Testing in Uttoxeter
Your Trusted Experts for EICR Testing in Uttoxeter
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 Uttoxeter. At Makse Electrical & Renewables, our NAPIT-approved electricians carry out thorough, professional EICR inspections in Uttoxeter. We don’t just hand you a report and leave. We explain your results in plain English and guide you through any next steps. Uttoxeter is a well-established Staffordshire market town with a growing population and a varied mix of residential and commercial properties. The town has seen significant development in recent years, but much of its existing housing stock dates back several decades. Older electrical installations can carry hidden risks that only come to light through proper, professional testing. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) gives you a certified, independent view of your property’s electrical health. Our qualified electricians inspect every accessible part of the installation and provide you with a clear, coded report that meets current UK legal and safety standards — giving you the confidence to act on what you find.

How Our EICR Testing Process Works?
We make EICR testing in Uttoxeter as smooth and stress-free as possible. Every step is straightforward and every decision is explained clearly — so you’re never left in the dark.
Initial Consultation
We start by finding out about your Uttoxeter property — its type, age, size, and any existing electrical concerns you may have. This allows us to plan a thorough, focused inspection and ensures we cover everything that’s relevant to your situation.
On-Site Electrical Inspection
Our qualified electrician visits your property and carries out a systematic check of all accessible wiring, 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 compile your full Electrical Installation Condition Report. Every finding is assigned a risk code — C1 for immediate danger, C2 for potential danger, C3 for a recommended improvement, and FI where further investigation is needed. We talk you through every observation before we leave so nothing is left unclear.
Remedial Work
If faults or areas of non-compliance are identified, we provide a no-obligation quote for the necessary repairs. Our electricians resolve all issues to the required standard — then retest and issue your satisfactory EICR certificate once everything is confirmed safe and compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do electrical faults typically develop in Uttoxeter properties over time?
Electrical installations deteriorate gradually through normal use and ageing. Cable insulation can crack or perish, connections can loosen, and circuit breakers can wear out. Damp, rodent damage, and DIY modifications can all accelerate the process. The problem is that many of these faults develop invisibly inside walls and ceiling voids — which is why a professional EICR inspection is the only reliable way to identify them before they become dangerous.
Is there a difference between an EICR and a gas safety certificate?
Yes — they are completely separate checks. A gas safety certificate covers the gas appliances and pipework in a property and is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. An EICR covers the fixed electrical installation and is carried out by a qualified electrician. Both are important, and landlords are legally required to have both in place for rented properties.
Can Makse Electrical carry out the EICR and any necessary remedial work in the same visit?
In some cases, minor remedial work can be completed on the same day as the inspection. For more significant repairs or upgrades, we’ll carry out a separate visit once the quote has been agreed. We always aim to resolve any issues as quickly as possible to minimise any compliance gaps or safety risks.
How do I know if my consumer unit in Uttoxeter needs replacing?
Signs that your consumer unit may need replacing include the use of rewirable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers, no RCD protection, a unit that is visibly old or damaged, or frequent nuisance tripping. If your consumer unit is flagged during the EICR inspection, we’ll explain what the issue is and whether a replacement is required or simply recommended.
