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.

Ensuring Electrical Safety In Your Rented Property

TM Hughes & Son undertake Landlord’s Electrical Inspections and issue EICR Certificates in Wickford and the surrounding areas.

Electrical inspections are a legal necessity for safeguarding tenants from potential electrical accidents such as shocks or fires.

As a landlord, you must have the electrical installations in your properties inspected and tested by a qualified professional every five years or at the start of each new tenancy.

This process ensures that all electrical components meet safety standards, allowing an electrician to issue an EICR.

The Electrical Inspection: What to Expect

Our NICEIC-registered Electricians at TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd conduct meticulous electrical inspections, guaranteeing the safety of your property’s electrical installations and subsequently allowing us to issue an EICR.

Here’s a brief overview of what to expect during an inspection:

Visual Inspection: Our Electricians start with a thorough visual inspection, looking for any visible signs of electrical damage, wear and tear, damaged sockets or switches, signs of burning or overheating, and loose or exposed wires.
Testing Electrical Installations: The fixed electrical systems in your property, including wiring, switches, sockets, light fixtures, and consumer unit, are then tested.
Checking Safety Devices: The safety devices, like residual-current devices (RCDs) and circuit breakers, are inspected and tested. These devices are crucial in protecting against electric shock and electrical fires.
Verifying Earthing and Bonding: The inspection process includes the verification that the property has adequate earthing and bonding.
Identifying Overloaded Circuits: The electricians will check for any overloaded circuits or appliances. Overloaded circuits can cause overheating, a common cause of electrical fires.
Highlighting Electric Shock Risks and Fire Hazards: The Electrician will look for any electrical hazards that could cause an electric shock or fire.
Assessing Identifications and Notices: Necessary markings or signs, such as labels on fuse boxes, are checked.
Checking for Defective Electrical Work: The Electrician will inspect any electrical work that has been carried out incorrectly or does not meet safety standards.

At the end of the inspection, our Electrician will write and issue a detailed EICR.

Understanding the EICR

An EICR is a document outlining the condition of a property’s electrical system. It details any damages, deterioration, defects, or non-compliance with safety standards.

Potential dangers are highlighted, along with necessary remedial actions.

The report also includes information about the inspection, such as the date, the person who conducted the inspection, and the next scheduled inspection date.

This document serves as proof that the property’s electrical system is safe.

If any faults or risks are identified during the inspection, our Electrician will recommend action to remedy them and provide a quote for the work involved.
