One price, and everything below is in it.
Not a look around. Each circuit in the property is tested with an instrument and the readings recorded, the same way a rented property or a commercial premises has to be.
You get pictures of what is actually wrong, so you are not taking an electrician's word for it and you can show it to anyone else.
A written list of what needs doing and what each item costs. It is yours. Take it to us, take it to anyone.
Issued on completion by a Safe Electric registered contractor, which is the certification a buyer, a landlord or an insurer will ask for.
This is instrument work on every circuit in the house, not a visual once over. If you have been quoted a cheaper "electrical check", ask which of these it includes.
Pushes a test voltage through each circuit to see whether the insulation around the cable is still doing its job. This is the one that finds cable that has gone brittle with age, perished, or been nicked by a nail years ago.
Measures whether, if a fault happened right now, enough current would flow to trip the protection fast enough. A circuit can look perfect and fail this, and if it fails, the protection you think you have is not really there.
Times how long the RCD takes to cut the power when it detects current leaking to earth. It is the difference between a shock and a fatality, so a slow RCD matters as much as a missing one.
Confirms live and neutral are the right way round everywhere, and that the earth is actually continuous back to the board. Reversed polarity is common in houses where somebody handy has been at the sockets.
Scorching, overheating, loose terminations, undersized cable, missing RCD protection, and the results of any well meant DIY. Plenty of what we find is visible if you know what you are looking at.
People ring asking for one and need another, so it is worth being plain about it.
A certificate is a piece of paper saying an installation passed. It is an outcome, and on its own it tells you nothing about what to do next.
A rewire quote is a price for work. Given without testing, it is a number somebody made up, and it will move once the floors come up.
The survey is the evidence in between: every circuit tested, every fault photographed, and a costed schedule of works that you own and can hand to any electrician you like. It is what a rewire quote should be built on, and it is the document that makes the other two honest.
Tell us the address and a day that suits. €700 fixed, and the call-out costs you nothing.
