02 — How it works
From booking to report
01
Book your test
Tell us the make, model and year of your vehicle and where it is kept.
02
We come to you
Our mobile workshop comes to your home or storage site.
03
Inspect and test
A visual inspection first, then instrument tests on every circuit. The power is off for parts of the test.
04
Your report
You get a written report with the results and anything we recommend, explained in plain English.
03 — Who needs one
When an EICR is worth having
1
Buying or selling
Proof of the condition of the electrics for a sale, or peace of mind before you buy.
2
Hiring it out
Hire and insurance companies often ask to see a current report.
3
Older vehicles
Wiring, breakers and connections wear with age. A test shows what needs attention.
4
After a fault or damp
Power that keeps tripping, water getting in or DIY wiring are all good reasons to test.

07 — Questions
Questions owners ask
An Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a full inspection and test of the mains electrical system in your vehicle, with the results written up in a report.
Yes. We test the mains electrics in all three, at your home or storage site.
The wiring regulations recommend an inspection and test at least every three years, and every year for a vehicle that is used a lot.
No. An EICR is not part of a standard habitation check. A habitation check includes basic electrical safety checks only. An EICR goes further, with instrument tests on every circuit and a full schedule of results.
C1 means danger is present and needs action straight away. C2 means potentially dangerous. C3 is an improvement we recommend. FI means further investigation is needed.
All makes of motorhomes, campervans and caravans, including Auto-Trail, Swift, Bailey, Elddis, Bürstner, Hymer, Adria, Coachman, Lunar, Benimar, Auto-Sleeper and Volkswagen California. If yours is not listed, just ask.
We explain what was found and give you a price to put it right. Nothing is repaired without your go-ahead.
