Urban Volt electrical are very, very good
If I'm honest, I hadn't actually checked their reviews before instructing them on some Emergency work they did for us in our moment of need. They came to one of our properties within 48 hours of our initial inquiry, completed the work and provided a report within a very short period.
Very professional
Thank you!

Jay provided a great service today. Identified the fault with a main light not working in double quick time. Tested and checked everything was good and proper and was tidy, polite and good humoured throughout. Couldn't ask for a better service. Thanks Jay!

Would definitely recommend!

Service
An EICR (electrical installation condition report) is a full check of your electrics. It tells you what's safe, what isn't, and what needs doing.
We test the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and light fittings, and look for damage, wear and anything that doesn't meet current regulations.
Landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years. Tenants must get a copy within 28 days, and the council can ask for one within 7 days.
We recommend a check every 10 years in a home you own, and an EICR is worth having when you buy or sell a property.
C1 means danger present and is made safe straight away. C2 is potentially dangerous and needs fixing. C3 is an improvement we recommend. The report is marked satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
If the report finds worn wiring, we can follow it with a rewire or fuse board replacement, and we also carry out commercial EICRs.

Straight answers to the questions landlords and homeowners ask us most about EICRs and certificates
Landlords need one at least every five years, and a valid report must be in place before a new tenancy starts. For a home you own, we recommend one every 10 years, or when you buy or sell.
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must give tenants a copy within 28 days, give new tenants a copy before they move in, and send one to the council within 7 days if asked. Any remedial work must be done within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
We check the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings and fixed electrical equipment. We test circuits and identify any damage, wear or defects that could cause danger.
Most flats and houses take a few hours. Larger properties, or those with more than one consumer unit, take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
Any C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation needed) means the report is unsatisfactory and the work needs doing. C3 items are recommendations and don't fail the report.
We explain every finding in plain English and quote for any remedial work separately. Once it's done, you get written confirmation for your records, which landlords need to keep too.
