Fixed Wire Testing
Northern Ireland.
Secure your building infrastructure. We provide comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) across Northern Ireland to ensure your property is safe, fully compliant and meets strict BS7671 standards.
BS7671 Compliance
& Building Safety.
Formally known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), this vital process involves the rigorous dead and live testing and inspection of the fixed electrical circuits and distribution boards that route electricity securely around your building.
Unlike PAT testing which focuses on plugged-in appliances, an EICR scrutinises the core infrastructure of your property. Our dedicated engineers actively uncover potential fire hazards, shock risks and defective work before they cause critical system failure.
City & Guilds 2391 Qualified
Our inspection engineers hold specialized 2391 qualifications required for rigorous fixed wire assessment.
Fully Vetted Engineers
Every engineer is Access NI cleared, ensuring total security for schools and sensitive environments.
NICEIC Approved Contractor
We issue legally robust BS7671 EICR certificates that satisfy Local Authorities and insurance providers.
How We Ensure Compliance
A highly technical, strategic testing framework designed to accurately assess the condition of your electrical installations with minimal disruption.
1. Visual Inspection
Before isolating power, we inspect distribution boards, switchgear and wiring for obvious signs of overheating, wear or damage.
2. Dead Testing
With the circuits isolated, we perform vital continuity, insulation resistance and polarity tests to ensure wires are intact and safe.
3. Live Testing
We carefully re-energise the system to test Earth Fault Loop Impedance and verify that RCDs trip correctly in an emergency.
4. Defect Coding
Any faults found are accurately classified using BS7671 codes (C1, C2, C3 or FI) to highlight the severity of the legal risk.
5. Certification
We generate your comprehensive EICR document via our digital portal, giving you an immediate, legally binding report.
6. Remedial Action
If your installation receives an "Unsatisfactory" grade, we provide a rapid, competitive quote to resolve the C1/C2 defects.
Why Fixed Wire Testing
is Essential.
Electrical installations inevitably deteriorate over time due to load, wear and age. A regular EICR is the only robust way to prove you have maintained your building's safety in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Order.
Private Landlords: Under recent NI legislation, you are legally mandated to hold a valid EICR every 5 years for private tenancies.
Commercial Businesses: Required to validate property insurance and prevent devastating workplace fire hazards.
Public Sector & Schools: Due to heavy footfall, public buildings require rigorous and frequent fixed wire assessments.
EICR FAQs
- C1 (Danger Present): Immediate risk of injury. Requires urgent action.
- C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Urgent remedial action required to prevent a future hazard.
- C3 (Improvement Recommended): Does not meet current BS7671 standards, but is not deemed dangerous.
- FI (Further Investigation): An anomaly requires deeper inspection.
A single C1, C2, or FI code results in an "Unsatisfactory" report.
