Common questions
Electrical Testing in Gillingham FAQs
What is an EICR and do I need one in Gillingham?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a formal inspection of your property's electrical installation carried out by a qualified electrician. It assesses the condition of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, and fixed electrical installations against current safety standards. Landlords in Gillingham are legally required to have one carried out every five years, and homeowners are advised to have one if the property is more than 25 years old or has not been inspected recently.
How long does electrical testing take in a Gillingham property?
The duration depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. A typical two or three bedroom home in Gillingham takes between two and four hours. Larger properties or those with older, more complex wiring can take longer. We will give you an estimate of the time required when we book the appointment.
What happens if my EICR fails in Gillingham?
If the report identifies faults or areas of non-compliance, they are classified as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). C1 and C2 items need to be addressed before the installation can be considered satisfactory. We can carry out any remedial work identified during the inspection, and we will explain the findings clearly so you understand what is needed and why.
Do landlords in Gillingham have to provide tenants with a copy of the EICR?
Yes. Under current regulations, landlords must provide a copy of the EICR to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, to new tenants before they move in, and to the local authority if requested. We can carry out EICR inspections for rental properties across Gillingham and issue the certificate promptly so you can meet these requirements.
Can the same electrician who does the testing also carry out any remedial work?
Yes, and this is often the most convenient approach. Our approved electricians carry out testing and inspection across Gillingham, and where remedial work is required, we can usually complete it in the same visit or at a follow-up appointment booked promptly afterwards. We will always give you a clear quote for any additional work before starting.

Serving the Area
Gillingham is the largest town by population in the Medway area, with densely packed residential streets extending from the town centre through Rainham, Wigmore and Hempstead. The ME7 and ME8 housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war housing, all of which regularly need boiler replacements, rewiring and bathroom upgrades. Gillingham's high proportion of rental properties also generates strong demand for landlord safety certificates and emergency callout services.
