Before booking anything for eicr — electrical safety checks on a victorian terrace, it is worth knowing which findings change the price and which do not. Materials and methods we spec on victorian terrace work: metal-clad 18th Edition CU with RCBO per circuit; SPD as standard for surge-sensitive kit; steel-conduit riser for the front-elevation EV feed. Anything we recommend is tied to a specific finding rather than to a general principle. You will get the plain version, not the technical one, unless you ask.

The order of work matters: isolate, test, explain, then price. Skipping the middle two is how people end up paying twice. Diary planned for the access is the part worth confirming rather than assuming.

Where the property has been altered or extended, certificate at the end, delivered the same evening is the common finding.

Construction & access

Wiring generation & likely findings

We would rather lose a job than sell work the testing does not justify. Photographs of anything hidden are included so you can see what we saw.
