EICR Inspection

“I'm based in Colchester and have been trying to find a good electrician that I can trust to complete an EICR on my property, following a bad experience with another company. After initially speaking with Elise for a quote, I felt at ease and the service provided was excellent. Highly professional and trustworthy.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about earthing and bonding services in Essex

Earthing provides a safe path for fault current to flow to earth in the event of an electrical fault, causing the protective device (MCB or RCD) to trip and disconnect the supply before anyone can be harmed. Without proper earthing, a fault could make metal parts of appliances or pipework live — creating a serious electric shock risk. Earthing is a fundamental safety requirement of BS 7671 wiring regulations and is essential for the safe operation of your electrical installation.
Bonding connects metallic parts of your property (gas pipes, water pipes, structural steelwork) together and to the earth terminal, preventing dangerous potential differences between them. If two metal parts are at different voltages, touching both simultaneously could cause a fatal electric shock. Main protective bonding connects incoming services (gas, water) to the main earth terminal. Supplementary bonding provides additional protection in high-risk areas like bathrooms. Both earthing and bonding work together to protect you.
Older properties may have inadequate, deteriorated, or missing earthing and bonding that doesn't meet current BS 7671 safety standards. Common issues include: undersized earth conductors, missing main bonding to gas or water services, absent supplementary bonding in bathrooms, corroded earth connections, or a TT system without adequate earth electrode resistance. Upgrades are essential to protect against electric shock, ensure insurance compliance, satisfy EICR requirements, and meet legal obligations for electrical safety.
Supplementary bonding is additional protective bonding required in locations with increased risk of electric shock — primarily bathrooms. It connects all exposed metallic parts (pipes, taps, radiators, towel rails, shower trays) together to prevent dangerous potential differences. Under BS 7671, supplementary bonding in bathrooms can be omitted if all circuits serving the bathroom are protected by RCDs with a tripping current of 30mA or less. We'll assess your bathroom circuits and advise whether supplementary bonding is required.
A TT system is used when the property doesn't have a reliable earth provided by the electricity distributor (DNO). Instead, the property's earth is provided by earth electrodes (earth rods) driven into the ground at the property. TT systems are common in rural Essex properties and older properties. They require additional RCD protection for safety and regular testing of the earth electrode resistance. We can assess your earthing system type and carry out any necessary upgrades.
Common earthing and bonding codes on an EICR include: C1 (Danger present) for missing or completely inadequate earthing; C2 (Potentially dangerous) for undersized earth conductors, missing main bonding, or inadequate supplementary bonding; and C3 (Improvement recommended) for minor deficiencies. C1 codes require immediate action; C2 codes require remedial work within 28 days for rental properties. We carry out all remedial earthing and bonding work to clear EICR codes across Essex.
Most earthing and bonding upgrades can be completed in 1–2 days depending on the size of the property and extent of work required. Main bonding to gas and water services typically takes 2–4 hours. Supplementary bonding in a bathroom takes 2–3 hours. A full TT system installation with earth rods takes 1–2 days. We'll provide a detailed timeline and fixed-price quote during the initial assessment.
Yes, all earthing and bonding work is fully certified to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 standards. You'll receive complete test certificates including earth loop impedance test results, earth electrode resistance measurements (for TT systems), and continuity test results for all bonding conductors. Full installation documentation is provided for insurance, compliance, and future reference. This is essential for landlord compliance and property sales.
Yes — main protective bonding to gas and water services is a mandatory requirement of BS 7671 wiring regulations. The bonding conductor must be of adequate size (typically 10mm² for most domestic properties) and connected as close as practicable to the point of entry of the service. Missing or inadequate main bonding is one of the most common C2 codes found on EICRs. We carry out main bonding upgrades across Essex as part of our earthing and bonding service.
Yes — poor or inadequate earthing can cause a range of problems including: RCDs that won't trip in a fault condition (creating a shock risk), nuisance tripping of RCDs due to high earth leakage, electrical noise affecting sensitive equipment, appliances that give mild electric shocks, and in severe cases, fire risk from sustained fault currents. If you're experiencing any of these issues, an earthing assessment is strongly recommended.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property and extent of work required. Main bonding to gas and water services typically costs £150–£300. Supplementary bonding in a bathroom costs £200–£400. A full TT system installation with earth rods costs £400–£800. We offer free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing after a thorough assessment.
