EICR Electrical Safety Reports in Billingham
Billingham grew as a new town for the ICI works, so a big share of its housing went up in the same post-war stretch. That shows in the electrics. Around Low Grange, Cowpen Lane and the streets off Wolviston Road we still find original boards and wiring that has simply never been looked at. An EICR is a full inspection and test of the fixed wiring, and on a house of that age it is the only way to know whether it is safe or living on borrowed time.
We test every circuit, then code each finding by how urgent it is so you know what needs doing now and what can wait. The report comes the same day with a plain explanation of what it means. As a NAPIT approved electrician we certify to the current wiring regulations, and if anything needs putting right we can do it and certify that too. Most EICRs around Billingham land between £150 and £300 for a typical home, fixed before we book you in.
Post-war housing
The town went up in one push, so we see the same era of board and cable again and again and know exactly what to look for.
One trade, start to finish
If the report turns up remedial work we can carry it out and certify it, so you are not lining up a second electrician.
Same-day report
You get the paperwork on the day, coded and explained, with the price fixed before we started.
Your questions, answered
My Billingham house still has its original fuse box. Will it fail?
An old board on its own is usually recorded as something that should be improved rather than an immediate danger, unless there is a genuine safety problem with it. The report says which, and we will tell you honestly whether replacing it is worth doing yet.
How much disruption is there?
We turn circuits off one at a time while we test them, so the power is only off in parts and only briefly. Most Billingham homes are done in an afternoon.
Do you test bungalows and older persons' housing?
Yes, and we take particular care with them. We work tidily, keep the power off for as short a time as possible and explain everything as we go.
