Why a clear EICR is more useful
Codes explained plainly
We make the observation codes easier to understand and act on in practice.
Testing backs the report
The report is supported by inspection and electrical testing, not surface impressions.
Helps plan remedials
You get a clearer view of what needs doing now and what can be scheduled.
A comprehensive understanding of your electrical work
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is there to assess the safety and condition of fixed electrical wiring and related equipment, not simply to tick a box. We inspect the installation visually and carry out the electrical tests needed to look at circuits, protective measures, earthing, bonding and distribution equipment. With Martin and Son Electrical Ltd, you get an EICR backed by practical testing capability, so the report reflects what the installation is actually doing, not just how it looks from the outside.
Codes, access and next steps made easier to follow
Part of the value of an EICR is understanding what the observations mean. We explain the practical difference between immediate danger, potential danger, improvement recommended and further investigation, so you are not left decoding letters and numbers alone. Testing may mean temporary interruption of circuits and access across the property, which is discussed in advance.
Frequently asked questions
What do the EICR observation codes mean?
The codes show how serious an observation is. Some indicate immediate or potential danger, others recommend improvement or further investigation. We explain the practical meaning of the codes so you can see what needs urgent action and what belongs in planned remedial work.
Will the power need to be interrupted during an EICR?
It can be, because some tests need circuits to be isolated so they can be checked properly. We discuss access and likely interruption beforehand, which is especially useful in occupied homes, rented property or workplaces where timing has to be handled sensibly.
What happens after an unsatisfactory report?
An unsatisfactory result means the report has identified issues that need attention. We explain the findings clearly and can discuss the remedial work or further investigation required, so you are not left with a coded report and no practical route forward.
