Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or business owner, regular EICR testing in Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell helps ensure your electrical system remains safe, compliant with current regulations and free from potential hazards.
During an EICR, we thoroughly inspect your property’s fixed electrical installations, including wiring, consumer units, sockets, lighting circuits and earthing arrangements. The inspection identifies any defects, deterioration or non-compliant installations that could present a safety risk, such as overloaded circuits, damaged wiring, inadequate earthing or poor electrical workmanship.
Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the condition of your electrical installation, along with any recommendations for remedial work if required. EICRs are generally recommended every 10 years for homeowners, every 5 years for landlords (a legal requirement for rental properties) and every 5 years for most commercial premises, although some environments may require more frequent inspections.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive inspection of your property’s fixed electrical installation to ensure it remains safe and suitable for continued use. During the inspection, we assess wiring, consumer units, sockets, lighting circuits, earthing and bonding, identifying any damage, deterioration or installations that do not meet current electrical regulations. The report highlights any defects that could increase the risk of electric shock, fire or electrical failure, helping you keep your property safe and compliant.
The recommended inspection frequency depends on the type of property. Homeowners should have an EICR every 10 years or when purchasing a property. Landlords are legally required to obtain a new EICR every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy where applicable, while most commercial properties should also be inspected every 5 years, although some environments may require more frequent testing. We can advise on the appropriate inspection interval for your property.
For landlords, an EICR is a legal requirement under current UK electrical safety legislation. Regular inspections help demonstrate compliance, ensure electrical installations are properly maintained and provide reassurance that your property remains safe for tenants, employees or occupants.

I had an issue with one of my electrical circuits that kept tripping, so I called out Ashley from Chilvers Electrical.

We’d just moved house and Ashley removed a washing machine for us which had been hard wired in by the previous owners and installed a single socket ready for our new one, which he even helped my husband carry in and install. Thank you very much indeed.Posted on Google Adrian YardleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I needed a video doorbell installing, which proved surprisingly difficult connecting it to my wifi. Ashley was helpful, patient, and successful, and a nice guy as well. Reasonable prices too. Definitely recommended.Posted on Google M AliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an EICR carried out along with some other electrical work, and I was extremely impressed with Ashley's knowledge and professionalism. He explained everything clearly, upgraded my fuse board, and also installed an EV charger for me. Another electrician had previously told me that an EV charger couldn't be installed in my preferred location, but Ashley found a solution and completed the installation to a very high standard. The work was neat, tidy, and carried out efficiently. I would highly recommend Chilvers Electrical and will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs in Milton Keynes.
