EICR Cardiff (Electrical Safety Certificates)
Thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports for Cardiff landlords, letting agents, homeowners, and prospective property purchasers.
Ensuring Electrical Safety & Legal Compliance in Cardiff
In Wales, landlords are legally required to ensure electrical installations in rental properties are inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a competent person, with a valid EICR provided to tenants.
An EICR (often referred to as an electrical safety certificate) involves an exhaustive physical inspection and instrument testing of the fixed electrical installation — checking for overloaded circuits, lack of earthing, deteriorated insulation, and shock hazards.
DW Electrical Specialists delivers impartial, transparent inspections. We provide a detailed digital report with plain-English summaries of any observations and clear quotes if remedial work is required to achieve a 'Satisfactory' rating.
What an EICR Inspection Involves
Checking sockets, light switches, consumer units, and visible wiring for signs of overheating or physical damage.
Measuring cable resistance, earthing continuity, and insulation resistance to verify fire safety.
Testing residual current devices with precision instruments to ensure they disconnect dangerous currents in milliseconds.
Categorised strictly by BS 7671 standards: C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), and C3 (improvement recommended).
