- C1, C2, C3 and FI observations explained in plain English
- Written remedial quote if the report is unsatisfactory — remedial work priced separately
Residential prices are based on property size and assume one consumer unit, a normal circuit count and reasonable access. Converted properties, HMOs, multiple boards and unusually complex installations are quoted individually.
The price is confirmed before attendance from the property details supplied. If the installation materially differs - additional consumer units, or an undeclared commercial area - we explain and agree any change in scope before testing continues.
Property licensing in Hounslow
- Additional HMO licensingborough-wide — smaller HMOs outside the mandatory scheme — since December 2025, running to December 2030
- Mandatory HMO licensingqualifying larger HMOs — applies nationally, not a local scheme
Licence applications and renewals ask for current electrical safety documentation. Check your property's exact status and any exemptions with the council before applying.
A burning smell from a plug socket isn't something to sleep on - our emergency electrician cover runs 24/7, and we'll isolate the fault before it turns into a fire. EICR come back unsatisfactory with C1, C2 or FI codes on it? Our eicr remedial work puts those faults right and gets the report closed out with the appropriate certification. Letting a house in Hanworth or East Bedfont and the agent's chasing paperwork? An eicr certificate is the standard eicr testing Feltham landlords need before a tenancy starts - and it's the bulk of what we do here. And lights that flicker or blow bulbs every few weeks usually point to tired wiring, which is where rewiring the affected circuits fixes the cause rather than the symptom. Every one of these gets cheaper the earlier it's looked at.
EICR Testing and Electrical Services in Feltham
Straight answer first, because you're comparing options and don't want to be sold at. We inspect and test the installation, you get a written report with the c1 c2 c3 codes explained rather than left as jargon, and any work arising is quoted in writing before it starts - so you decide with the numbers in front of you. That applies to landlords big and small, to the agents letting and managing on their behalf, to housing associations and council teams - and just as much to homeowners, HMO landlords, people buying or selling, and the small businesses around the town centre and Bedfont Lakes.
One maisonette, one shop unit, or two hundred homes off a stock list - same process, same standard of report. Nobody gets the quick version because their job is small.
An electrical installation condition report is a measured assessment of the fixed wiring against BS 7671: continuity, insulation resistance, earthing arrangements, the board and its protective devices. You get a satisfactory certificate if the installation stands up, or a coded schedule if it doesn't - and only C1, C2 and FI observations produce an unsatisfactory result, so a page with a few C3s on it isn't a failure. Feltham's testing demand sits in its rented interwar and postwar semis and the low-rise flats around Hanworth and Lower Feltham, where kitchens have been extended, sockets added and circuits stretched over the years without anyone recording it. Age alone never decides the outcome, mind - condition does, and only testing establishes condition. Book EICR testing when the five-year cycle comes round, before a tenancy, or before a buyer's surveyor asks.
EICR Remedial Works
Got a report back marked unsatisfactory? You need two things: someone to translate it, and a price. We split the C1, C2 and FI items into what must happen now and what can be scheduled, then quote them. Round here it's usually undersized main bonding to gas and water, overloaded circuits from accumulated extension leads, and amateur alterations with unprotected joints above a ceiling. Any eicr electrician Feltham agents put in front of you should work off someone else's report - a good share of ours arrives that way. Our engineers are qualified to the standards the work requires. When it's done you get it confirmed in writing along with the right certificate for the job - an Electrical Installation Certificate, or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate on smaller works - and any re-test priced separately. Remedial work, step by step.
Landlord Electrical Safety Packages
Landlords and letting agents get the compliance set handled together: the EICR, appliance testing and the smoke and CO alarm checks in one appointment, certificated in one go for the tenancy file. It's less access hassle for the tenant and one paperwork bundle for you. And where a satisfactory report is already in force and hasn't reached five years, a new tenancy doesn't automatically need a new test - the existing report goes to the incoming tenant. See what's in the package.
Related electrical work in Feltham
- Consumer unit and fuse box upgrades - for boards no longer capable of protecting circuits the way current standards expect.
- Rewiring and part rewires - full or partial, for installations where cable condition rules out patching individual circuits.
- 24/7 emergency electricians - call-outs for tenants, owners and businesses hit by a live fault or lost power.
- PAT testing - appliance testing for furnished lets, HMOs, offices and workshops, scheduled around your access arrangements.
Book it while it's still a planned appointment - not after a tenant rings you about a burning smell.
Electrical Problems We Fix in Feltham
Burning Smells and Scorched Sockets
"Burning smell from plug socket" - or that odd fishy smell near the fuse box. It's often a loose termination arcing under load, or an overloaded adaptor or extension lead cooking itself. Treat it as a live fire risk: isolate the circuit now, 999 if anything's actually smoking, then get the scorching investigated properly the same day.
Shocks or Tingles from Taps and Appliances
A shock from the tap, a tingle off the washing machine - that means protection has failed somewhere. Usually it's missing or inadequate earthing and bonding, a faulty appliance leaking to its casing, or occasionally a network fault on the supply neutral. Never a wait-and-see symptom. Switch off, keep clear, and have the shock traced before anyone touches that metalwork again.
Landlord EICRs for Tenancies and Licences
"Need an electrical certificate for a new tenant" - the classic Feltham rental job. Usually the 5-year cycle under the 2020 Regulations has come round, a licence application needs a current satisfactory report, or the council's asked and you've got 7 days to produce it. Date-bound rather than urgent - but work back from the tenancy start and leave room for the 28-day remedial window. Sorting the tenancy report early keeps every deadline comfortable.
Trip Switches That Won't Stay On
An RCD that keeps tripping means a live fault somewhere - often a failing appliance leaking to earth, moisture in an outdoor circuit or fitting, or cumulative leakage across circuits sharing one RCD. Same-day job; an emergency if it won't reset at all or something smells warm. Resetting it over and over just re-tests the fault. Getting the tripping diagnosed now is far cheaper than the damage a fault does while it waits.
Every electrical installation condition report Feltham landlords and homeowners ask us for starts with problems exactly like these - and none of them shrink by being ignored.
Comparing Electricians for an EICR?
Sensible - this is a job worth pricing properly. If you've already got an unsatisfactory eicr sitting in your inbox, send it over and we'll quote the remedial work line by line, in writing, with nothing padded. Still at the fault stage? Book an electrician before a small problem grows into a rewire. Either way, you'll have a clear figure to compare against anyone else's.
Electrical Safety Across Feltham's Housing Stock
Feltham's an unusual patch - the domestic side is steady landlord work, but the commercial demand here is heavier than almost anywhere else this far west. Bedfont Lakes business park in TW14, whose three-building campus is leased long-term to Cisco Systems as its UK headquarters, anchors a corporate fixed-wire testing market that runs on Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 duties, not tenancy deadlines. And the North Feltham Trading Estate - one of SEGRO's largest and most established estates, three miles from Heathrow Cargo Terminal - is full of multi-occupier warehouse and industrial units where three-phase supplies, roller shutters and workshop equipment all sit on periodic testing cycles that insurers expect to see evidenced.
The institutional side is just as real. HMP/YOI Feltham on Bedfont Road is one of the borough's biggest premises - a large secure residential campus with extensive fixed installations under EAWR 1989 testing regimes. Derwent Lodge, a purpose-built 62-room Bondcare home, sits in the higher-risk category where fixed-wire testing typically runs on shorter cycles and CQC evidence expectations do the pushing. Duty holders in premises like these don't get to treat testing as optional - the paperwork trail is the defence.
Council and ALMO Housing
The Lower Feltham estate is council flatted stock managed directly by the borough, and it now sits under the live social-sector electrical safety duty - five-yearly EICRs reaching and reach earlier social tenancies from 1 May 2026, with transitional provisions allowing the first inspection before 1 November 2026. For anyone responsible for stock like this, that means first-cycle inspections, remedial schedules and, on older blocks, board replacement pressure arriving on a fixed timetable. Private landlords nearby face the same shape of duty: a landlord eicr Feltham agents can file against a tenancy or licence, renewed on the five-year clock.
Whether your responsibility is a warehouse unit, a care home floor or a single rented flat, the common thread is the same - installations age quietly, and the report is what proves you checked. The duty holders who book on their own schedule always pay less than the ones who wait for a deadline or a defect to choose it for them.
Electrical Safety Services Across Feltham and Nearby Areas
Wherever you are in TW13 or TW14, an eicr Feltham booking covers you - and we work the neighbouring patches too, from Brentford up to Chiswick, as part of our wider West London coverage.
Bedfont Lakes
The office campuses around the lakes in TW14 generate a different kind of work - fixed-wire testing on commercial floors, distribution boards serving open-plan space, and landlord's-area installations in managed buildings. If you hold a repairing lease here, the test records are usually your obligation, and lease renewals have a habit of asking for them.
East Bedfont (TW14)
Mostly post-war semis and terraces, a good share of them rented to families working the Heathrow shift pattern. That makes the electrical installation condition report the routine document here - five-yearly for tenancies, and a sensible pre-purchase check for buyers taking on a house that's had decades of gradual DIY.
Hanworth (TW13)
Hanworth's mix of interwar houses and ex-local-authority stock tends to throw up older boards without RCD protection - the classic C2 observation. Landlords and owners here often find a fuse box upgrade is the difference between a satisfactory report and a remedial schedule. Worth checking before the next inspection is due, not during it.
Lower Feltham
Older cottages and 1930s housing towards the Sunbury boundary, where original circuits have often been extended again and again. Wiring of that age is exactly what a 5 year electrical check exists to catch - insulation breaking down quietly behind walls doesn't announce itself until testing finds it.
Hanworth Park
The streets around the park carry a broad spread of family homes and rented houses. For landlords, that means routine certificates on the tenancy cycle; for owners, it's peace of mind that added sockets, loft conversions and garden supplies were done properly. Either way, an inspection dated this year beats an assumption dated ten years ago.
Questions About EICRs and Electrical Work in Feltham
What does an EICR cost?
It depends on the size of the installation - number of circuits and bedrooms, mainly - and how accessible the board is. What we won't do is quote blind and pad it for surprises. You get a written price for the inspection up front, and if the report finds faults, a separate itemised quote for the remedial work. No pressure to use us for both; the report is yours either way. Getting the figure in writing now costs nothing but a phone call's worth of time.
How long does the inspection take?
A typical two or three-bed house is usually two to four hours; a small flat less, a large or older property more. Power goes off circuit by circuit while we test, so tenants or staff should expect short interruptions. Booking a time that suits the household is easier than squeezing it in the week a deadline lands.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes - genuinely. One flat above a shop, a single retail unit, a homeowner who just wants the wiring checked: all fine. A one-off inspection is handled with exactly the care a 200-home programme gets, same engineer standard, same paperwork. Small jobs booked early stay small; ignored ones have a habit of growing.
What paperwork do I actually get?
The full electrical installation condition report - not a one-line pass or fail. Every observation is coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, and we go through what each one means for your property before we leave. Landlords get the document they need for tenants, agents and the council; if it's unsatisfactory, the remedial quote arrives with it so the 28-day clock never catches you flat-footed.
I'm a landlord - is this legally my job or my agent's?
The legal duty under the 2020 Regulations sits with the landlord, even when an agent manages the property day to day. Plenty of agents arrange eicr testing in Feltham on their landlords' behalf - we work with both - but the penalty for a missing report lands on the owner. If you can't lay hands on a current satisfactory report today, that's the sign it's time to sort one.
