EICR certificates and electrical testing
DWC Electrical Solutions Ltd carries out EICR certificates and electrical inspection reports for landlords, homeowners and commercial premises across Southend-on-Sea and Essex.
What an EICR checks
An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the fixed wiring, consumer unit, earthing, bonding, sockets, lighting circuits and visible parts of the installation. The report records observations using standard EICR codes, so a landlord or property owner can see what is satisfactory, what needs improvement and what must be repaired before the installation is considered safe for continued use.
Most EICR customers need a plain answer on cost, timing and what happens if the report is unsatisfactory. DWC keeps the process practical, explains the findings clearly and can quote for remedial work where the inspection identifies a safety issue.
Landlord electrical safety
For private rented homes in England, current government guidance says electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. DWC can inspect the installation, explain any C1, C2, C3 or FI observations, and quote for remedial work if needed.

Frequently asked questions
What is an EICR certificate?
An EICR certificate is the report produced after an electrician inspects and tests the fixed electrical installation. It records the condition of the wiring, circuits and consumer unit, then states whether remedial work is needed.
How often do landlords need an EICR?
For private rented homes in England, electrical installations must usually be inspected and tested at least every five years. The report can require an earlier reinspection if the condition of the installation calls for it.
Can DWC fix EICR remedial work?
Yes. If an EICR identifies faults or improvement work, DWC can explain the observations and quote for the repairs needed to make the installation safer and compliant.
