Looking for Building control Electrical Safety inspection (EICR) electrician?

1) Building Control Electrical Safety Inspection (EICR)⚡️

If you’re stuck trying to get your new extension or recent building work signed off by the council and the original electrician has vanished, you’re not alone. It’s more common than you’d think. I regularly get calls from homeowners who’ve had work done by builders or electricians who never issued the correct paperwork — and now building control won’t sign off the job. That’s where a Building Control Electrical Safety Inspection (also known as an EICR) comes in. As an NICEIC Approved Contractor, I can carry out a professional inspection and help get your project moving again.

2) Why You Might Need an EICR for Building Control

This service is for customers who:

• Have had electrical work completed but not signed off properly.
• Have builders or electricians who have gone bust, disappeared, or simply refuse to answer the phone.
• Are now stuck with local building control requiring evidence that the electrical work is safe.

In many cases, your local council will accept a full EICR carried out by a qualified and approved electrician — but it’s best to check with them first. Some councils may have specific requirements or preferences.

3) What to Expect From the Safety Inspection💡

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a full safety check of the electrical work carried out. I’ll test the circuits involved and assess whether the work has been installed to the correct standards. If everything checks out and the installation is safe, the report may be acceptable to the council as evidence of compliance. However, bear in mind that:

• If faults are found, further remedial work may be required before it can be passed.
• The EICR will only cover what is inspected, so any additional issues with unrelated electrics in the property will be noted if they affect the overall safety.

If the original work hasn’t been tested before, or worse, was completed poorly, then there may be faults or issues that need correcting. The EICR is the starting point to understand the condition of the installation — but getting things up to standard might require extra work. This isn’t just about ticking a box for the council — it’s about making sure your home is safe.
