What electricians can help with

FAQs

What types of electrical repairs are common when comparing options?

Is a safety check the same as an EICR?
An EICR is a formal safety inspection of fixed wiring and circuits. It checks for defects and compliance issues. A general safety check may be less detailed, so ask which report you will receive. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Will the work be disruptive when comparing options?

Do you need to see the property before quoting?
