EICR testing in Lawthorn explained
- 01
After an unsatisfactory report
If your last report was unsatisfactory, you don't always need a full new EICR. Once the remedial work is done, it's certified, and that certificate, together with the original report, shows the problems have been put right. A new inspection is only needed when the date is due.

Garages, sheds and outbuildings
Circuits feeding a garage, garden room or shed are part of your installation and should be included in the inspection. Let us know about them when you book, as they need access and extra time, and outdoor cables are often where faults turn up.
- 03
Reading the summary
The front of an EICR gives an overall assessment, satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and a summary of the condition. The detailed pages list each observation and its code. If you only read one part, read the summary and the list of observations, then ask us about anything unclear.

EICR testing in Lawthorn: common questions
How much notice do I need to book EICR testing in Lawthorn?
It depends how busy we are, but it's best to book a few weeks before your report is due, especially for rented homes where tenants need notice. With working hours from 5am to 11pm every day, we can often find an early or evening slot that suits.
Does EICR testing in Lawthorn include my garage?
Yes, if the garage is supplied from your installation. Its circuits, sockets, lighting and any sub-board are inspected and tested along with the house. Detached garages and outbuildings take a little longer, so let us know about them when you book.
Is an old consumer unit an automatic EICR fail in Lawthorn?
No. An older board isn't a fail on age alone. What matters is whether it provides the protection the circuits need, such as RCDs for sockets, and whether it's in good condition. Missing protection or damage would be coded, and we'd explain the options.
How will I receive my EICR for a Lawthorn property?
You'll receive the full written report after the inspection, usually as a digital copy you can save, print or forward to a letting agent or solicitor. We go through the key findings with you on the day, so nothing in the report comes as a surprise.
