Costessey splits between Old Costessey down by the River Tud and the larger New Costessey nearer the Longwater junction, and its housing runs from period cottages to post-war homes and the steady run of new builds around Queens Hills. An EICR is a full health check of a property's fixed wiring, consumer unit, circuits and sockets, and whatever the age of your Costessey home, it tells you clearly whether the installation is safe to keep using.
I work methodically through the whole installation and code every finding by how urgent it is, then explain it plainly. I am NAPIT registered and DBS checked, I work to BS7671 and I certify the report properly. Where something needs putting right I give a clear fixed price and certify the remedial work myself, so it is all handled by one electrician.
Cottages to new-builds
From the period homes of Old Costessey to the newer Queens Hills estate, I test the full range of Costessey properties.
Plain-English findings
The formal BS7671 report plus a simple summary of what matters, what it costs and what can safely wait.
Certified remedials
If something needs attention I give an honest fixed price and certify the work once it is done.
Your questions, answered
Do I need an EICR when buying a Costessey home?
It is not always required, but a recent EICR reassures you and your solicitor that the wiring is safe. Plenty of buyers book one before committing to avoid expensive surprises later.
Do new-build homes need an EICR?
Newer Costessey homes are usually in good shape, but a report is still worthwhile if you are buying, letting it out or want reassurance. It also picks up any uncertified alterations a previous owner made.
How long does an EICR take?
Two to four hours for most Costessey homes, depending on size and the number of circuits. I work cleanly and put everything back exactly as I found it.
