Looking for an Electrician in Grassmoor?

1) Local electrician in Grassmoor

Grassmoor village is in Derbyshire very close to Chesterfield. Records from the 16th century suggest that the area was actually known as Gresmore but through the years, the village name got lost in translation.

Grassmoor is home to Barnes Park which is the location of the annual summer fete as well as home to numerous cricket matches.

From Grassmoor Country Park to Tibshelf Ponds is the famous Five Pits Trail which interlinks 5 local coal mines. The trail is an off road route which runs for 5.5 miles from start to finish.
Local residents are particularly keen to mention Paul Burrell, a notable person who was born in Grassmoor and eventually became Butler to Diana, Princess of Wales.

2) EICR inspection in Grassmoor

Let's start by explaining what an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report is. An EICR is also referred to as a landlord’s electrical safety certificate or fixed wire testing. Definitive Electrical Solutions use everyday concepts to help our customers understand some of the services we deliver, so the same goes for an EICR. We often compare an EICR to an MOT for your car. An EICR is an inspection of the fixed electrical installations at your property in Grassmoor to make sure there are no hazardous faults and to identify remedial work should you need.

During an inspection, we conduct visual checks and electrical testing on the lighting, sockets, outlets, wiring and consumer unit. Any faults identified are recorded and assigned a code. C1 codes identify a very dangerous hazard, C2 suggest a potential danger requiring urgent remedial work. A non dangerous fault which could do with upgrading signifies a C3 code. FI or Further Investigation is often recorded if the team identifies a fault but requires further inspection to identify whether a true risk is present.

Definitive Electrical Solutions are NICEIC approved electricians, so we actually use NICEIC approved software to record faults during an EICR and to also generate the final report. Customers can be certain that strict guidelines are followed during the inspection as electrical safety forms the basis of our work.

If you have a rental property in Grassmoor, you might know that an EICR is compulsory every 5 years and must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Copies of the report must be made available to existing and new tenants as well as a copy sent to the local authority if a request has been made.

It’s quite the responsibility as failure to carry out regular EICRs, as well as remedial work, could lead to fines of up to £30,000 or legal action. 

Another reason many of our clients in Grassmoor enjoy working with us is because of our combined experience of 25 years in the industry. Even if the outcome of an EICR states an “unsatisfactory” result, we have the skills and expertise to carry out remedial work and advise you on improvements.

Homeowners are recommended an EICR at their homes in Grassmoor every 10 years to keep an eye on the electrical installation. In the past, an EICR has often flagged deteriorated wiring or lighting fixtures which have decomposed over the years. By identifying these faults at the earliest opportunity, we have helped homeowners reduce the risk of injury from electrocution or electrical fires caused by overheating.
