EICR Electrical Safety Testing in Gateshead
Gateshead has a real mix of property types and each brings its own quirks when it comes to electrical safety. The 1930s semis around Low Fell and Saltwell often have older fuse boards and circuits that have been added to over the decades, while the terraces in Felling and Dunston can hide some interesting wiring once you lift the covers. An EICR gives you a clear picture of the condition of your installation, and our team carries one out methodically so you know precisely where you stand.
Based just up the road in Rowlands Gill, we cover NE8 to NE11 and the surrounding area regularly. We test every circuit, record our findings against current standards and hand you a report written in plain language. If anything needs putting right we quote one fixed price for your exact job, confirmed before any work starts, so there are no surprises. NAPIT registered and with 26 years of experience, we treat your home with care and give you honest advice rather than a list of work you do not need.

Your questions, answered
How often should I have an EICR done?
For an owner occupied home every ten years is the usual guidance, or sooner if you are buying, selling or have noticed problems. Rented homes need one at least every five years. We can advise based on your situation.
Do you cover the older semis around Low Fell?
Yes, we inspect a lot of the interwar housing across Gateshead. Older boards and circuits are very much our day to day work and we know what tends to need attention in these homes.
Is the inspection disruptive?
It is fairly low impact. We do need to switch circuits off for short periods to test them, but we plan around you and tidy up properly before we leave.
