New Romney is our home town, so we know its housing well. From the period cottages and townhouses near St Nicholas Church and the High Street to the post-war family homes and the seaside properties out towards Littlestone and Greatstone, every type carries its own wiring history. An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a thorough inspection and test of the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets and circuits in a property. It tells you in plain terms whether the installation is safe to keep using or whether anything needs attention.
With 37 years behind us we work methodically through the whole installation, then set out our findings clearly with each issue coded by how urgent it is. As a NAPIT registered firm working to the 18th Edition wiring regulations, we test and certify properly and notify any notifiable work to Building Control. Before we lift a single faceplate you get a free fixed written quote, one price agreed up front, so the EICR cost is settled with no surprises landing on the invoice later.

Your questions, answered
How long does an EICR take in a New Romney home?
Most domestic EICRs take a few hours depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. A two-bed cottage near the High Street is quicker than a larger seaside house out towards Littlestone. We always confirm the likely timing when we quote.
Do I need an EICR if I am selling my house?
It is not always a legal requirement for a sale, but a recent EICR reassures buyers and their solicitors that the wiring is safe. Many people in New Romney book one before going to market to avoid last-minute questions.
What happens if my report comes back unsatisfactory?
We explain exactly which items caused that result and what is needed to put them right. You then get a free fixed written quote for any remedial work, and there is never any pressure to go ahead on the spot.
