A rural market town in mid-Essex, with a range of village properties, detached homes and surrounding agricultural and commercial premises.
EICR Pro Essex provides fixed-price EICR inspections for landlords, letting agents, businesses and homeowners in Ongar and the surrounding area. Our reports are produced by experienced qualified inspectors using the current edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) as the benchmark for assessment.
Properties in Ongar cover a range of detached country houses, village properties, rural cottages and smaller residential dwellings. Ongar's rental market includes rural properties and some residential lets in the town itself. Older country properties may have complex electrical arrangements including outbuildings and agricultural supplies.
Whether you require a landlord EICR for a residential property, a commercial EICR for business premises, or specialist HMO electrical testing, EICR Pro Essex can assist.
Since June 2020, landlords letting residential properties in England — including Ongar — are legally required to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report. The report must be produced at intervals of no more than five years, or at each change of tenancy where the existing report has expired.
Ongar's rental market includes rural properties and some residential lets in the town itself. Older country properties may have complex electrical arrangements including outbuildings and agricultural supplies.
A landlord EICR assesses the fixed electrical installation within the property. Where issues are found, they are coded C1 (danger present — immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous — urgent remedial action required), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation required). C1 and C2 codes result in an unsatisfactory report, and landlords must arrange remedial works within 28 days.
EICR Pro Essex provides fixed-price landlord EICRs in Ongar at £129.99 + VAT for standard domestic properties up to 4 bedrooms with 1 consumer unit. There are no parking charges, no extra circuit charges and no hidden fees for standard 1-board domestic EICRs. We can typically accommodate inspections at relatively short notice, subject to availability.
Commercial premises in Ongar and the surrounding area include small business units, agricultural premises and rural offices. Electrical installations in rural commercial properties can vary considerably.
Commercial EICRs are required for insurance purposes, property transactions, lease renewals and general compliance. The frequency of inspection depends on the type of premises and the nature of the electrical installation, though a five-year cycle is commonly adopted as a practical standard.
EICR Pro Essex can carry out commercial EICR inspections in Ongar across a range of premises types including offices, retail units, workshops, light industrial premises and other commercial occupancies. Commercial EICR pricing is provided by confirmed quote based on the size and complexity of the installation.
HMO activity is limited in Ongar given the predominantly rural and residential character of the area.
While every electrical inspection is specific to the individual installation, EICR inspectors working in Ongar commonly encounter issues including older wiring in country properties, outbuilding supply issues, agricultural electrical installations, lack of RCD protection and insulation resistance faults in rural properties with extensive external wiring..
The presence of any of these issues does not automatically mean an installation will receive an unsatisfactory report. The inspection outcome depends on the specific findings and the relevant requirements of BS 7671 as applied to the installation type and age.
Many older properties in Ongar may not have RCD protection on all circuits. This is commonly noted as a C3 (improvement recommended) in older installations that were compliant at the time of installation, though the specific coding depends on inspection findings.
Older split-load boards and rewireable fuse boards remain in some Ongar properties. The presence of these does not automatically result in a failure, but may contribute to other observations during inspection.
Supplementary bonding and main protective conductors are assessed as part of every EICR. Older properties may have incomplete or incorrectly sized bonding arrangements that require attention.
Insulation resistance testing identifies deterioration in older wiring. Properties in Ongar with wiring from the 1960s–1980s may show reduced insulation resistance values that require further investigation or remedial work.
If your EICR in Ongar results in an unsatisfactory outcome due to C1 or C2 codes, EICR Pro Essex can provide a separate quotation for any required remedial electrical works. Landlords are required to arrange remedial works within 28 days of receiving an unsatisfactory report, or immediately where C1 (danger present) codes are identified.
Remedial works are priced separately from the EICR inspection and quoted based on the specific findings in the inspection report. Common remedial works following a Ongar EICR include consumer unit replacement, installation of RCD protection, circuit repairs, bonding and earthing corrections, and socket or accessory replacement.
We aim to provide clear, straightforward quotations based on the inspection report findings. Where works are accepted, we can arrange completion as quickly as possible, subject to availability and parts lead times.
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent protection (RCBOs) provide an important layer of protection in electrical installations. An EICR assesses whether appropriate RCD protection is in place for the installation type and age, and whether any installed RCDs are operating correctly within the required trip times.
Consumer units in Ongar properties vary considerably. Older split-load boards, rewireable fuse boards and single-board consumer units remain in older properties. Where an inspector identifies issues with a consumer unit as part of an EICR, these are coded according to the specific findings rather than on the type of board in isolation.
Where a consumer unit replacement is required as a remedial work following an unsatisfactory EICR, we can provide a separate quotation for the work, including replacement with a modern consumer unit meeting the requirements of current regulations, where appropriate.
