At KG Electrical Contractors, we provide EICR certificates and fixed wire testing across St Albans and Hertfordshire. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out thorough electrical inspections to help keep properties safe, compliant and up to current wiring regulations.
If your home’s electrics have not been tested recently, or you’re preparing for a property sale, rental or insurance inspection, KG Electrical Contractors are here to help. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out professional EICR inspections across St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire.
Also known as a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, Fixed Wire Test, Periodic Inspection Report (PIR), EICR Certificate or Electrical Report, an EICR can identify hidden faults, ageing wiring, inadequate earthing and bonding, and installations that no longer meet current wiring regulations.
We provide clear reports, practical advice and remedial works where required, helping keep your property safe and compliant.
Our certified electricians deliver full electrical inspections and condition reports tailored for residential properties in St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire.
We carry out full electrical installation condition reports, check every fixed electrical component, wiring, consumer unit, sockets, lighting, bonding, and issue a formal certificate detailing the installation’s condition and any recommendations.
Beyond the visual inspection, we carry out live and dead testing of circuits and protective devices to locate hidden faults, verify circuit integrity and ensure your system meets current standards.
If faults or unsafe conditions are found, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for remedial work, such as wiring upgrades, consumer unit replacement or improved earthing, to bring your installation up to standard and ensure you can obtain a satisfactory certificate.
