Domestic Electrical Safety Inspections
If you are a homeowner in Fareham, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the most effective way to check that your electrics are safe, compliant and fit for continued use.
At Danco Electrical Contractors, we carry out domestic EICR inspections in Fareham and the surrounding areas, producing clear reports that confirm your home’s electrical safety and provide useful documentation should it be required by insurers or during a property sale.

A domestic EICR is a formal inspection of the fixed electrical installation within your home. This includes the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and lighting circuits.
The inspection is designed to identify potential electrical safety hazards, signs of deterioration or damage, non-compliance with current regulations and any issues that could increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a written report outlining the condition of your electrical installation along with clear guidance on any remedial work that may be required.

Do I Need an EICR for My Home?
You may need a domestic EICR if:
- You are buying or selling a property
- Your home has not been tested in the last 10 years
- You are a landlord and need to meet legal requirements

Understanding Your EICR Inspection
& Report
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) involves a detailed inspection and testing of your home’s fixed electrical installation.
The purpose is to confirm that the system is safe, compliant and suitable for continued use, while identifying any issues that may require attention now or in the future.
During the inspection, key parts of the electrical system are carefully assessed, including the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits and protective devices. This process combines visual checks with electrical testing, along with checks to earthing and bonding, to build a clear picture of the overall condition of the installation.
The inspection is carried out with care and respect for your home. Where there are any limitations to what can be assessed, these are clearly recorded within the report so there is a complete and transparent record of the findings.
Once complete, the EICR uses standard condition codes to explain the results. These range from situations where there is an immediate safety concern that requires urgent action, through to potentially dangerous issues that should be addressed promptly, and recommendations for improvement where the installation does not fully meet current standards.
In some cases, further investigation may be advised where more information is needed before a full assessment can be made.

We will always explain the results in plain English and talk you through what the report means, so you understand any next steps and can make informed decisions with confidence.
