Mickleover is a popular suburb on the western side of Derby, a mix of period village properties around the old centre off Uttoxeter Road, large between-the-wars and post-war homes, and newer developments spreading out towards the country park. Bigger and older homes like these often carry decades of added wiring, which is exactly why a proper report matters. An EICR is a thorough inspection and test of the fixed installation, the consumer unit, the circuits, the sockets and the earthing, and it tells you clearly whether everything is safe.
We work through the whole installation carefully and grade each finding by urgency, so you can see immediately what's unsafe, what should be improved and what's simply worth noting. We're NAPIT registered and City & Guilds qualified, we work to the 18th Edition, and anything notifiable we certify and notify to Building Control. You get one fixed written price before we start, so the EICR cost is settled up front and never creeps up.

Your questions, answered
My Mickleover house is large, will the EICR cost more?
Larger homes with more circuits take longer to test, so the price reflects the size of the installation. We look at the property first and give you a fixed written quote, so you always know the cost before we begin.
How often should I have an EICR?
For an owner-occupied home the usual guidance is around every ten years, or sooner if you notice problems or are buying or selling. Rented homes need one at least every five years.
Do you cover the newer estates towards the country park?
Yes, we test homes right across Mickleover, from the older village around Uttoxeter Road to the newer developments. We confirm the area and quote before booking.
