This service in Harbledown
EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) from £120: a fixed-price inspection and testing of your property’s wiring, circuits, earthing, bonding, consumer unit and accessories. Work is certified to BS 7671 and NICEIC/EDC standards, with a written report, coded observations, and a satisfaction guarantee; written fixed-price quotations supplied before any remedial work.
Why Harbledown homes and landlords ask for it
We will record observations about those features clearly, identify any safety concerns using the applicable codes, and explain the next steps for that specific Harbledown property without overstating risks or recommending unnecessary work.
Around Canterbury the housing we see most is Georgian brick houses near the cathedral precincts, Victorian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan's, large student rental stock, new estates at the edges. That shapes the work we are called to: student and rental HMO compliance, listed and period property in the precincts, commercial work for the city centre. 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.

How quickly we can book you in
We can usually book an EICR for your Harbledown property within 3–5 working days. We’ll arrange the earliest suitable appointment during our Monday–Saturday, 7am–6pm working hours once you accept the fixed price, and we’ll confirm the date, arrival window and access requirements in writing so you know exactly what to expect before our electrician attends.
Same‑day availability may be possible where our diary and the inspection scope allow. We also offer Saturday slots for landlords, homeowners and managing agents who need greater flexibility. For short‑notice appointments, call us with your preferred timeframe and property details and we’ll check availability promptly. Scheduled reminders can be arranged ahead of your next inspection due date to help you maintain a clear electrical safety record and avoid a lapse in certification. We’ll keep communication clear if access, occupant arrangements or remedial work affects timings.
Streets and property types we know in Harbledown
For riverside properties beside the River Len that runs through parts of Harbledown, we pay particular attention to signs of damp, corrosion and equipment positioned in basements or on lower ground that could be affected by moisture. Whatever your Harbledown property’s age or layout, we’ll approach its electrical installation methodically and record observations clearly.
The full service, step by step
An EICR in Harbledown starts with a booked appointment at a convenient time, followed by a methodical inspection of the accessible installation. Before attending, we provide a pre inspection checklist so you can clear access to the consumer unit, sockets, switches and fixed equipment.
We then isolate circuits where necessary, carry out visual checks and complete dead and live testing. We assess earthing, bonding, protective devices, circuit condition and signs of overheating, damage or unsuitable alterations. We record observations accurately and explain any limitations, such as concealed wiring or inaccessible areas.
After testing, we issue the EICR with the appropriate outcome and coded observations. If faults need attention, we can provide a fixed written quote for follow up repairs. Once remedial work is complete, we test the affected circuits and supply relevant certification.
