EICR Electrical Safety Certificates in Winchester — From £200

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of the fixed electrical installation in a property. Orsidaen Electrical Services provides professional EICR testing across Winchester and Hampshire from £200, carried out by NICEIC approved electricians.

What Is an EICR?

An EICR checks the condition of your property's fixed electrical installation — including wiring, sockets, switches, consumer units, earthing, and bonding. The inspection identifies any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671). Each issue is graded by severity: C1 (danger present — immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous — urgent remedial action), C3 (improvement recommended), and FI (further investigation needed).
