EICR testing for Longsight properties
- 01
Before you sell your home
Buyers' solicitors and surveyors increasingly ask about the electrics. Having an EICR done before you list your Longsight home means you know about any problems early, can fix them on your own terms and have the report ready when questions come up.
- 02
Testing with tenants at home
Landlords need to give tenants notice before an EICR. The power goes off in short bursts during testing, so it's best to warn tenants about computers and freezers. We work room by room and keep disruption to a minimum for the people living there.

What we often find
Common findings in older homes include missing RCD protection, damaged sockets, poor earthing or bonding to gas and water pipes, and circuits that have been added to without being updated. We explain each one and what it would take to fix.

EICR testing in Longsight: your questions
Can you carry out an EICR in Longsight while tenants are living there?
Yes. We arrange a time with the landlord and tenants, then test room by room so the power is only off in short bursts. Tenants should save their work on computers and keep fridge and freezer doors closed. We leave the property as we found it.
Should I get an EICR before selling my Longsight house?
It's a good idea, especially if the wiring is old or you've had work done without certificates. A report gives buyers confidence and lets you fix any issues before they're raised by a surveyor. It can also help avoid delays later in the sale.
What are the most common EICR problems in Longsight homes?
In older houses, we often see missing RCD protection, worn sockets and switches, poor main bonding and DIY additions without certificates. Most are straightforward to fix. The report codes each one, so you can see what's urgent and what's a recommendation.
How soon will I get my EICR report for a Longsight property?
We aim to send the report promptly after testing, so you have it for your records, your tenants or your sale. If there are urgent C1 dangers, we tell you on the day and make them safe before we leave, rather than waiting for the report.
