An EICR is a full inspection and test of a property's wiring, and in Worthing it is usually one of three people asking for it: a landlord meeting the five-yearly duty, a buyer who wants to know what they are taking on, or an owner of an older house who has started to see signs of trouble.
Worthing's housing makes the report matter more than average. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the seafront, Tarring and Broadwater often still carry rubber or fabric-sheathed cable, borrowed neutrals and lighting circuits with no earth at the switch. The 1930s semis toward Goring and the post-war estates at Durrington tend to be sounder but frequently have a fuse box that predates safety switches entirely.
You get the formal report and a plain-English summary of what actually matters: what is dangerous, what should be put right, and what can safely wait. Anything that needs attention comes back as a clear fixed price, and the remedial work is tested and certified when it is done.

Your questions, answered
How much does an EICR cost in Worthing?
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits, so we price each one after a quick chat about the property. Landlords with more than one property get an agreed rate. You always get the price before we book you in.
How often does a rented property in Worthing need an EICR?
At least every five years, and at a change of tenancy if the report is older. The duty applies to all private rented homes in England, and you must give the tenant a copy within 28 days.
What happens if my Worthing property fails the EICR?
An unsatisfactory result just means one or more items need attention. We explain exactly what they are, quote a fixed price to put them right, and reissue the report once the work is certified.
How long does an EICR take?
Two to four hours for most Worthing homes, depending on size and the number of circuits. Larger or older properties with more circuits take longer, and we will tell you before we start.
