Professional EICR Report Delivery
A comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is generated, detailing findings, observed deficiencies (C1, C2, C3, FI), and specific recommendations for any required remedial actions to ensure compliance.
Clear Remedial Advice
We provide clear, actionable advice on any identified issues, explaining the implications and recommending the most effective solutions to bring your electrical installation up to current safety standards.
Compliance with UK Regulations
Ensuring your electrical systems comply with the latest UK standards, particularly BS 7671 (the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations), is non-negotiable for safety and legality.

Commercial properties also need regular checks, typically every 5 years. The Electrical Folks ensures your property meets these stringent requirements, providing certified documentation for complete compliance in the Birmingham area.
