What we check on a property in Bishopsgate Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Bishopsgate Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Cable type and age
We look at the cable at the board and at accessible points. Rubber, lead or fabric sheathing changes the recommendation entirely, because that cable cannot safely be disturbed or extended.
Existing certification
We ask what paperwork exists for previous work. Its presence or absence tells us how much of the installation has been tested before and what a new report needs to cover.
Earthing and bonding
We check the main earthing conductor, the earthing arrangement at the supply, and main bonding to gas and water. Missing or undersized bonding is common in older property and is a genuine safety matter.
The consumer unit and what protects what
We record the board type, the protective devices and which circuits they cover. Whether there is RCD protection, and on what, is the single biggest factor in how safe an older installation is.
What is urgent versus what is dated
Part of any inspection is separating the two. An installation can be old-fashioned without being dangerous, and we would rather say so than imply that everything of a certain age must be replaced.
Loft and underfloor cabling
We check for cable buried under insulation, which derates it, and for cables resting on ceiling joists where they can be stood on. Both are common and both are straightforward to put right.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Bishopsgate Green do you cover?
All of it — the streets around John Gulson Primary School included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Are you actually local to Bishopsgate Green?
Yes. Bishopsgate Green is around 0.7 miles north of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
What about EV charger installation?
An EV charger is a dedicated circuit with specific earthing and protection requirements, and the supply capacity has to be assessed before anything is specified — an older property with a small main fuse may need the supply upgrading first. It is notifiable work. The assessment of the existing supply is the part that most often changes the answer, so it comes first.
Can you work on commercial premises and rental property?
Yes. We carry out EICRs and remedial work for landlords and letting agents, and inspection, testing and maintenance for commercial premises, working around trading hours where we need to. For portfolios we can schedule inspections so they do not all fall due in the same month.
What do the C1, C2 and C3 codes on an EICR mean?
C1 is danger present — a risk of injury now, which needs making safe immediately. C2 is potentially dangerous, meaning it could become a risk and must be put right. C3 is improvement recommended: it is not dangerous and does not fail the report. An EICR is unsatisfactory if it carries any C1 or C2, or an FI meaning further investigation is required. A report that is entirely C3s is a pass.
I am a landlord with an unsatisfactory EICR. How long do I have?
Twenty-eight days from the report, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period, and you have to give written confirmation of the remedial work to the tenants and to the local authority if they ask for it. C1 items should be made safe on the day they are found rather than held over. Keep the report and the completion evidence together; both are asked for.
