Why It Matters
A standard viewing will not tell you the full electrical story.
A property can look clean and still hide outdated wiring, poor joints, no RCD protection, tired accessories or a fuse box that needs upgrading. A specialist electrical survey focuses only on the electrical installation, giving you the information a normal viewing will not.
Old fuse boxes
Older fuse boxes may need replacing with a modern RCD or RCBO consumer unit for safer protection.
Hidden electrical faults
Old joints, damaged cabling or poor alterations can be hidden under floors, in lofts or behind accessories.
Negotiation evidence
A written report and repair quote can help you discuss electrical issues with the vendor before completion.
Electrical Survey Reports
What you receive after the survey.
Garforth Electrical Ltd can provide a completed EICR Electrical Installation Condition Report, a photo pack showing the condition of the current electrics, test results, and a rectification quotation where repairs or upgrades are required.
This gives you clear information before buying and can help you understand whether the property is electrically safe, needs smaller remedial work, requires a fuse box upgrade or may need rewiring.

Before You Complete

Full rewires can require electrical work, plastering and redecorating.
Old electrics can affect safety, convenience and future renovation plans.
A proper report can support clearer discussions with the vendor.
Use The Report
