This service in Seasalter
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) from £120 provide a clear assessment of domestic and commercial wiring, circuits and fixed equipment with coded observations and recommended remedial action. Serving Seasalter, nearby Whitstable and surrounding Kent villages. Work guaranteed to professional standards; NICEIC-approved and Part P registered, with a completed report supplied after inspection.
Why Seasalter homes and landlords ask for it
Around Whitstable the housing we see most is white weatherboarded fishermen's cottages in the old town, Victorian and Edwardian stock in Tankerton, newer housing at Swalecliffe, many holiday lets. That shapes the work we are called to: salt-air corrosion on exterior and beach-hut electrics, coastal flood-risk electrics, holiday-let safety certificates. Every job is priced in writing before we start, and the same NICEIC standards apply whether the property is a period terrace or a new-build flat.
What it costs in Seasalter
For a typical Seasalter home we provide a fixed written price before work starts so the final bill will not exceed the quote. EICR prices below include inspection, testing, certification, labour, parts and VAT where applicable.

| EICR, four to five bedrooms | £250–£350 | Testing and certificate |
| Commercial EICR | £30–£50 per circuit | Testing and certification |
| Fault finding | £80 per hour | Investigation; most faults take 1–2 hours |
Prices do not include plaster or decoration, asbestos removal, DNO supply-upgrade charges, or scaffold/access equipment.
How quickly we can book you in
We can usually book you within 48 hours of accepting the fixed written price.
We’ll then arrange the earliest suitable appointment during our Monday–Saturday, 7am–6pm working hours. Booking speed depends on existing commitments, access requirements and the size of your installation, but we’ll give you clear options rather than promise a date we can’t meet.
Where our diary permits, we may offer same‑day availability for an EICR, particularly where access is straightforward. We also provide Saturday and other weekend appointments within our normal working hours, subject to availability. Please tell us if you are working to a tenancy deadline, renewal date or remedial‑work timescale, so we can prioritise practical scheduling. Before attending, we’ll confirm the appointment, scope and any access arrangements. If testing identifies observations requiring attention, we’ll explain the next steps and provide a written quotation before any remedial work begins.

The full service, step by step
We begin every Seasalter EICR by confirming the property details, the reason for the inspection and the extent of the installation to be assessed. We complete a pre inspection checklist, identify safe access requirements and agree any necessary shutdowns with you or your tenant.
Our electrician then visually examines the consumer unit, protective devices, earthing, bonding, wiring accessories and accessible cables. We test circuits using calibrated equipment, checking continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation where fitted. We record observations against BS 7671 and classify defects appropriately.
After testing, we issue the EICR with circuit schedules, results and clear recommendations. If remedial work is needed, we provide a fixed written quote before starting. Once repairs are complete, we can test affected circuits and arrange follow up maintenance where appropriate.
