From our initial meeting and throughout his attendance Andy presented an utterly friendly and engaging manner. Equally, his professionalism shone through his steadfast approach to the work in hand concerning the re-wiring of my home. Communication was consistently clear and helpful eg keeping me informed of developments and ongoing progress, very re-assuring indeed.
Special thanks, also, to Steve's earnest contribution: not only for his positive and courteous attitude but also the due diligence and care consistently applied in terms of cleaning up after each stage in the whole process. Much admired and greatly appreciated.
Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience and, as such, would happily recommend TM Hughes and Son to others.

Andy made re wiring our entire home easy and completed it within a quick timeframe. After a free quote, we worked out the plan for the wiring. Where some things were less possible, Andy called me and discussed. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, this is your guy 👌. Cheers again.

The Role of an EICR

Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We undertake Landlord’s Electrical Inspections and issue EICR Certificates in Loughton and the surrounding areas.

An EICR is a report following a professional inspection of your electrical systems. An Electrician looks for potential safety hazards, such as damaged wiring or outdated electrical components.

The report clearly indicates the condition of your electrical system and identifies any necessary repairs or upgrades. Having an EICR ensures the safety of your property and the people in it.

Situations That Require an EICR Inspection

An EICR is essential in specific circumstances. If you’re purchasing a new property, having an inspection will give you peace of mind that the electrical system is in good condition.

Landlords are required to have an EICR carried out every five years to comply with legal requirements.
While not a legal requirement, homeowners are advised to have an EICR test every 10 years.

Understanding EICR Obligations for Landlords

As a landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure the safety of your tenants, which is paramount. The law requires that you provide an up-to-date EICR every five years for your rental properties.

The EICR inspection confirms that your electrical system is safe and that your property is legally lettable. You must complete necessary repairs or upgrades to pass the inspection if any faults are discovered.

An EICR ensures you stay compliant with regulations, reduces the likelihood of an electrical accident and provides peace of mind for you and your tenants.

The Benefits of an EICR for Homeowners

The main benefit of an EICR for homeowners is safety. It will identify potential electrical hazards that could pose a risk to both your home and your family.

Early detection of issues, such as faulty wiring or outdated components, prevents costly repairs and reduces the likelihood of electrical fires or accidents.

An EICR also ensures that your electrical system complies with the latest safety standards, offering peace of mind that everything is in order and your property remains safe and secure.

A Guide to the EICR Inspection Process

An EICR inspection begins with a visual assessment of the property’s electrical system, where the Electrician will check for visible signs of wear, damage or outdated components.

They will inspect everything, from the Consumer Unit to the Sockets, to ensure everything meets current safety standards. Next, the Electrician will test the circuits, checking for electrical faults.

The inspection typically takes 2-4 hours (depending on the property’s size), and once completed, you’ll receive a report detailing any issues found, along with recommendations for necessary repairs.

If repairs are required to pass your property, our Electrician will provide a quote for the work. Following the inspection, a certificate will be issued.
