Electrical Inspections (EICR) in Cardiff
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords, and buyers.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) tells you whether your wiring is safe. It's a legal requirement for landlords and strongly recommended for homeowners, especially before buying or selling. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out thorough inspections and provide clear, honest reports.

Why VoltDemo
We explain findings in plain English, not just codes on a form. If something needs attention, we'll quote for the fix at the same time - no second call-out needed.
Common Questions
How often do I need an EICR?
For landlords, every 5 years or at change of tenancy (it's a legal requirement). For homeowners, every 10 years is recommended, or when buying/selling a property.
What happens if something fails?
We'll explain exactly what needs fixing and provide a quote. For landlords, certain codes require remedial work within 28 days. We can usually schedule the repair quickly.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical 3-bed house takes 2 to 3 hours. Larger properties or those with many circuits take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
