Lydd is the largest and oldest settlement on the Marsh, often called the capital of the Marsh, and its housing reflects that long history. Around All Saints Church, known as the Cathedral of the Marsh, there are period cottages, while newer homes sit alongside them and properties stretch out towards Lydd-on-Sea and the road to Dungeness. Older homes often have wiring that has built up over many years, which is exactly what an EICR is designed to assess. It is a full inspection and test of the fixed installation, checking the consumer unit, circuits, sockets and earthing.
We work through the whole installation carefully and report back plainly, grading every finding by how urgent it is so nothing is left unclear. With 37 years of experience and NAPIT registration, we work to the 18th Edition wiring regulations, test and certify the installation and notify any notifiable work to Building Control. You get a free fixed written quote before we start, one price agreed up front, so the EICR cost is fixed and there are no surprises on the final invoice.

Your questions, answered
My Lydd cottage is very old, will it definitely fail an EICR?
Not at all. Plenty of older Marsh cottages pass, and where issues exist the report shows exactly what needs attention. Age alone does not mean an unsatisfactory result, it just means a careful inspection is worthwhile.
Do you test properties out towards Lydd-on-Sea and Dungeness?
Yes, we cover Lydd and the coastal properties beyond it. Coastal homes can suffer more wear on outdoor electrics, so a thorough report is especially useful there. We confirm the area when we quote.
How is the result of an EICR decided?
The installation is classed satisfactory or unsatisfactory based on the observations found and their severity codes. Anything coded as dangerous or potentially dangerous results in an unsatisfactory report, and we explain precisely what is needed to put it right.
