Hythe is where the Marsh meets the hills, and its housing is just as varied. The Victorian and Edwardian homes climbing the hillside above the Royal Military Canal often have wiring that has been added to over many decades, while the seafront properties and the newer developments around the edges each bring their own quirks. An EICR is a full inspection and test of a property's fixed electrical installation, the consumer unit, the circuits, the sockets and the protective devices. It gives you a clear, honest picture of whether everything is safe and sound.
Larger older homes here often hide a mix of old and new wiring, which is exactly why a proper report matters. We work through the whole system carefully, with 37 years of experience to draw on, and grade each finding by urgency so nothing is left vague. As a NAPIT registered and City and Guilds qualified firm working to the 18th Edition, we test, certify and notify notifiable work to Building Control. You get a free fixed written quote first, so the price is agreed before any work begins and stays that way.

Your questions, answered
My Hythe house is large and old, 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 free fixed written quote, so you always know the cost before we begin.
Are landlords in Hythe required to have an EICR?
Yes, privately rented homes need an EICR at least every five years and on change of tenancy. We test and certify rented properties across Hythe and supply the report you need to stay compliant.
Will testing disrupt my home?
We need to turn the power off to individual circuits while we test them, so there is some brief disruption. We plan the work around you and keep any loss of power as short and predictable as possible.
