Fakenham has an unusual mix for a town its size. Georgian buildings around the Market Place, Victorian and inter-war housing running out from the centre, newer estates on the edges and a wide ring of farm cottages and barn conversions beyond that. Each one carries a different wiring history, and the rural ones often have supplies that have been extended over the years to reach outbuildings.
An EICR checks the whole fixed installation: fuse box, circuits, sockets, earthing and bonding. We test methodically and write up every finding with a clear urgency code, so you get a proper picture rather than a list you cannot interpret. Free fixed price before we start.
Rural supplies understood
Long runs out to stables, workshops and barns are common round Fakenham. We check earthing and protection on those properly, not just the house.
Older town stock
Market Place and the streets behind it hold a lot of altered wiring. We know the usual weak points and where to look first.
Written up plainly
Findings coded by urgency and explained in normal English, so the report is actually useful to you.
Your questions, answered
How much does an EICR cost in Fakenham?
Most homes come in between £150 and £300. A barn conversion or a house with outbuildings on the same supply has more circuits, so it sits higher. You get a fixed quote before you book.
Do you test outbuildings and stables?
Yes, and we would recommend it. Supplies run out to workshops and stables are where we find the most problems on rural properties round here.
My house is a new build, is a test worth it?
Often yes, especially if a previous owner added anything. A newer home usually passes easily, and the report picks up any alterations that were never done properly.
What does an unsatisfactory result mean?
It means at least one item was serious enough to need attention. We explain each one, quote to fix it and retest afterwards. It does not mean the whole house needs rewiring.
Ready for electrics done properly?
