Wetherby's oldest houses are its best looking and its most interesting to test. The Georgian stone properties around the Market Place, Westgate and North Street have often been wired, rewired and extended several times over and an EICR is how you find out what is actually behind the plaster. Further out, the 1960s and 70s estates off Spofforth Hill and Hallfield Lane tend to have sound wiring and an old board and the new homes at Swinnow Park need their first report in a few years' time.
We carry out EICRs across Wetherby for landlords, for buyers who want to know what they are taking on and for homeowners who have simply never had the electrics checked. The inspection covers the fixed wiring, the board, the sockets and every circuit and every finding is coded by how urgent it is. Across Leeds an EICR is typically £120 to £250 for a house or flat, with large houses above that and you get a fixed price before we start and the report the same day.

Your questions, answered
Do older stone houses need extra care during testing?
They need more time. There are usually more circuits, more junctions and more surprises, so a large Georgian house in Wetherby takes longer than a modern semi and we allow for that in the price.
How long does an EICR take on a large detached house?
Half a day is typical for a large house with outbuildings. A smaller house or flat is two to four hours. We tell you the likely timing when we quote.
What does a C1 or C2 finding mean?
A C1 is a danger present and we make it safe on the spot. A C2 is potentially dangerous and needs fixing soon. A C3 is an improvement worth making. Only C1 and C2 items make a report unsatisfactory.
