Request a quote ### Free written estimate within 24 hours. No-obligation, fixed-price quote with the certificate detail included. What happens if you delay ## The cost of putting it off. Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented. - 1 An unsatisfactory EICR makes the property legally unlettable until remedials are completed and re-certified. - 2 Local-authority Selective Licensing officers in Blackpool actively audit EICR records, unsatisfactory or missing reports trigger immediate enforcement. - 3 Insurance claims after an electrical fire are routinely refused when the most recent EICR is unsatisfactory or out of date. - 4 C1 coded defects (immediate danger) require de-energising the circuit on the spot, leaving tenants without power until fixed. - 5 Bundling 'remedials' into the EICR fee from cheap providers can mean paying twice for work that wasn't needed. Our process ## A five-step system, no surprises. 1. Step 1 ### On-site inspection We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call. 2. Step 2 ### Written diagnosis & fixed quote You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises. 3. Step 3 ### Scheduled installation Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board. 4. Step 4 ### Testing & certification Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal. 5. Step 5 ### Aftercare & 12-month guarantee 12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting. Benefits ## What you actually get. ### £99+VAT fixed 1–3 bed properties across the Fylde Coast, fixed, transparent, no hidden extras. ### 48-hour certificate Certificate issued within 48 hours of inspection, uploaded direct to your portal. ### Tenant-friendly slots Evening and Saturday inspection slots to minimise tenant disruption. ### Honest coding C1, C2, C3 coded to NICEIC standard, never inflated to win remedial work. ### Separate remedials quote Any remedials priced in writing so you can shop around, never bundled. ### Portfolio discounts Volume rates for letting agents and landlords with 5+ properties. Specification & method ## How we deliver, in detail. An EICR is carried out per IET Guidance Note 3 and the IET Code of Practice for the In-Service Inspection and Testing, covering dead testing (insulation, continuity, polarity) and live testing (earth fault loop impedance, RCD operating time). ### Materials & equipment - Megger MFT1741+ multi-function testers with Bluetooth result upload - NICEIC-issued EICR forms with full digital schedule of test results and inspections - Photographic evidence of any C1/C2/C3 coded defects, attached to the report ### Method & standards - 100% inspection of accessible accessories on small properties; sampling per GN3 on larger installations - Dead tests carried out with main isolator off; tenants forewarned in writing 7 days prior - Live tests including R1+R2 on every final circuit and RCD trip-time at I∆n and 5×I∆n - Coding strictly to NICEIC convention, C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), FI (further investigation) ### Variations of this service - Domestic EICR, single dwelling, 1–6 bedrooms - HMO EICR, annual requirement, more thorough sampling, fire-alarm interfacing checked - Commercial EICR, typically 3–5 yearly, with three-phase distribution and emergency lighting interface - Periodic Inspection on holiday lets and caravans, annual ### Where it applies on the Fylde Coast - Single lets across Blackpool, Cleveleys and Fleetwood, most common 1–3 bed properties - HMOs in central Blackpool, annual EICR plus fire alarm test certificates - Holiday lets in St Annes and Lytham, annual periodic inspection - Commercial premises on Bond Street, Highfield Road and Bispham, 3–5 yearly cycle ### Residential vs commercial Domestic EICRs cover single-phase ring finals and radial circuits with 30mA RCD protection expected on all socket and lighting circuits. Commercial EICRs add three-phase distribution, sub-main isolators, emergency lighting and BS 5839 fire system interfacing, typically a half-day vs the 2–3 hours for a standard 3-bed. ### Related services - [Consumer Unit Upgrades ](/services/consumer-unit-upgrades) - [Fire Alarm Installation & Maintenance ](/services/fire-alarm-installation-maintenance) - [Domestic Electrical Installation & Testing ](/services/domestic-electrical-installation-testing) #### Useful links - [Northern Tec homepage](/) - [Service areas we cover](/service-areas) - [Verified client reviews](/reviews) - [Request a free estimate](/contact) Our work ## A wider look at recent Northern Tec projects.
