EICR (Fixed Wire Testing)
with Hawkesworth
- Dedicated Account Manager
- Enhanced DBS-checked engineers
- Calibrated equipment on every visit
- Pass / fail clearly labelled
Hawkesworth provides nationwide commercial EICR, also known as fixed wire testing, for commercial, public-sector and multi-site organisations across the UK and Ireland. Every inspection is carried out by 18th Edition and 2391 qualified electricians in accordance with BS 7671, testing the safety and condition of your fixed electrical installation.
Our 18th Edition and 2391 qualified electricians carry out a full inspection and test of your electrical installation in accordance with BS 7671. This includes a full visual inspection, checking continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation and prospective fault current, along with dismantling a sample of accessories to inspect internal wiring and terminations. Any observations are coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, so you know exactly what needs attention and how urgently.
If we find a C1 observation representing immediate danger, we’ll rectify or isolate it before leaving site. Every EICR goes through Quality Supervisor technical review before it’s issued, giving you an extra layer of quality assurance. You’ll receive your NICEIC-format EICR electronically, typically within 10 working days of completion, along with clear coding and recommendations to support your next steps. Whether you manage a single site or a national estate, we’ll work with you to minimise disruption and keep your electrical installation compliant.
