Board Changes and EICR Services

Understand the condition of your electrical installation and make informed decisions about any improvements it may need.

Sparkeye provides thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports, consumer unit upgrades and associated remedial work for homeowners, landlords and property professionals across London, Surrey and the South East.

We explain our findings clearly, recommend only the work genuinely required and agree all costs before proceeding.

Book an Electrical check

Clear Findings

We provide a detailed report supported by test results, clearly identifying any defects, risks or recommended improvements. 

Modern Protection

Where an upgrade is appropriate, we design the consumer unit around the property, its existing circuits and its future electrical requirements. 

Honest Advice

An older consumer unit does not automatically need replacing. We assess the installation properly and explain your options before recommending any work. 

TWO SERVICES, ONE CLEAR ROUTE

An EICR and a consumer unit replacement are separate services.

EICR

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) services the inspection and testing of fixed electrical installations to determine their safety for continued use, often highlighting the need for board changes and other electrical inspections.

Upgrade

A consumer unit upgrade involves board changes that replace the equipment responsible for distributing electricity and protecting the property’s circuits, and is often necessary for effective electrical inspections and EICR services.

An EICR services assessment may identify reasons for board changes or why remedial work should be considered, but an older board does not automatically indicate that the entire installation is unsafe or requires rewiring. Sparkeye will explain the findings from their electrical inspections, detailing what is required and what is simply recommended.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONDITION REPORTS

Additional Information

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides a detailed assessment of the fixed electrical installation within a property. Our EICR services include thorough inspection and testing, which may cover: 


- The consumer unit and protective devices 

- Fixed wiring and electrical circuits 

- Earthing and bonding arrangements 

- Socket outlets, switches, and lighting points 

- Permanently connected electrical equipment 

- Signs of damage, overheating, or deterioration 

- Circuit test results 

- Previous alterations or unsuitable electrical work 


What You Will Receive 


After the inspection, you will receive: 


- Your completed Electrical Installation Condition Report 

- Circuit schedules and test results 

- Details of any observations identified 

- A clear explanation of the findings 

- Recommended priorities for any remedial work 

- A separate quotation for remedial work, if requested 


Understanding EICR Codes 


C1 — Danger Present 

Immediate action is required to eliminate the danger. 


C2 — Potentially Dangerous 

Urgent remedial action is needed. 


FI — Further Investigation Required 

Additional investigation is necessary without delay. 


C3 — Improvement Recommended 

An improvement is advised, but this code alone does not render the report unsatisfactory. 


An unsatisfactory report does not automatically imply that the property needs rewiring; the required actions depend on individual observations and the overall condition of the installation. 


EICRs for Landlords 


Landlords in England are typically required to have the electrical inspections in their rented properties checked and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report specifies a shorter interval. 


We specialize in working with landlords, letting agents, and property managers to complete the necessary inspections, explain any findings, and prepare a quotation for any required remedial work, including board changes if needed.

Initial Review

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) services the inspection and testing of fixed electrical installations to determine their safety for continued use, often highlighting the need for board changes and other electrical inspections.

Inspection and Testing

A consumer unit upgrade involves board changes that replace the equipment responsible for distributing electricity and protecting the property’s circuits, and is often necessary for effective electrical inspections and EICR services.

Clear Findings and Quotation

An EICR services assessment may identify reasons for board changes or why remedial work should be considered, but an older board does not automatically indicate that the entire installation is unsafe or requires rewiring. Sparkeye will explain the findings from their electrical inspections, detailing what is required and what is simply recommended.

Completion and Documentation

Approved work, including board changes, is completed carefully and tested, supported by the necessary electrical documentation, which is also crucial for EICR services and electrical inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out if you cannot find an answer to your question.

No. An unsatisfactory result means that one or more observations require remedial work or further investigation. The necessary work depends on the specific defects identified. 


Not necessarily. Age alone does not determine whether an installation is safe. We assess its condition, protection and suitability before recommending an upgrade. 


No. An EICR records the condition of an existing installation. An Electrical Installation Certificate relates to new installation work or certain alterations. 


Yes. Periods of isolation are normally required to inspect, test or replace electrical equipment safely. We will discuss this with you before starting. 


Yes. We can explain the observations and provide a separate quotation for suitable remedial work. Nothing additional will be undertaken without your approval. 


NOT SURE WHAT YOUR PROPERTY NEEDS?

You do not need to decide between an EICR and a consumer unit upgrade before contacting us.

Send Sparkeye a photograph of your existing consumer unit and tell us what you are planning. We will explain the most appropriate next step and help you make an informed decision.
