Cannock is largely a commuter town, and its housing splits fairly cleanly. There is a lot of post-war and 1960s-70s stock where the wiring has usually been part-updated at some point — a newer board bolted onto older circuits is one of the most common things we find. Then there are the newer estates that have gone up around the town and out towards the Chase, which normally test well but still need the certificate when a property changes hands or goes onto a rental.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a physical inspection plus a set of measured tests: insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, polarity, continuity and RCD trip times. What comes out is not an opinion. Every observation is coded and the installation gets an overall Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory result, so you know where you stand before a sale, a tenancy or an insurance renewal rather than afterwards.
You deal with Adam start to finish, and the report gets explained rather than just emailed. For the wider service see our EICR page, or everything we cover as an electrician in Cannock. We run the same inspection over the border in the West Midlands — see EICR testing in Walsall. Ready to book? Get a free quote.
Inspection and measured testing on every circuit, written up so the results mean something to you.
The board is opened, the devices identified and the arrangement assessed. Where a modern unit has been fitted onto older circuits — very common around Cannock — we check that what is behind it actually matches what is on the front.
Insulation resistance, continuity, polarity and earth fault loop impedance are measured circuit by circuit. These are numbers, not judgement calls, and they go on the report as recorded.
The earthing arrangement, main earthing conductor and protective bonding to services are traced and verified — the parts of the installation nobody looks at until they matter.
A sample of accessories is opened and checked, including anything feeding a garage, shed, garden office or converted space — the supplies most likely to have been added without certification.
The finished report carries every observation with its code and an overall Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory outcome. We go through it with you, in order of what actually matters, before anyone talks about remedial work.
What to expect from the first message to the certificate arriving.
Send the property age, type and rough size. We quote a fixed figure without needing a visit first.
We need access to the board and to each room. Power comes off in stages, circuit by circuit, not all at once.
Anything significant is explained on the day rather than saved for the paperwork — no surprises later.
The full coded report and certificate follow, ready for a tenant, an agent, a solicitor or an insurer.
Need something other than an inspection in Cannock? The same electrician covers the rest, and the neighbouring towns get the same EICR service.
The questions we get asked most by Cannock homeowners and landlords.
Not the whole time, but we do need access to every room, the consumer unit and any outbuilding supplies. Most people stay for the first half hour and the walk-through at the end. If it is a tenanted property we can work directly with the tenant once you have arranged access.
No. We isolate circuit by circuit rather than pulling the whole installation down for hours. If you work from home, tell us when you book and we will plan the order around your calls.
Yes, if the property is in England and privately rented. The regulations require a valid EICR at least every five years, with a copy given to tenants. Cannock Chase District Council enforces these standards in the same way as any other English authority.
It is one of the more useful things you can spend money on before exchange. A homebuyer's survey will note the electrics superficially at best. An EICR gives you measured results and coded observations, which is a far stronger position to be in if something needs negotiating.

Adam visited our property to carry out the EICR inspection. He was very friendly, professional, and punctual. Overall, it was a very smooth and positive experience. I would definitely recommend Adam to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician.
Adam carried out an EICR on our property and I was really impressed with his service. Communication was excellent from start to finish, he was transparent with pricing, and provided a clear breakdown of any issues.
Adam was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Changed the old fuse box to a brand new one. I would recommend his service to anyone — definitely will be using him again for any future work.
Had a problem on a Sunday morning — by Sunday afternoon it was sorted. Found the problem straight away. Polite and well mannered, would certainly recommend him to anyone.
Last minute call-out. Prompt, courteous and explained what he was doing and why, every step of the way. Now using plug sockets that three other electricians couldn't fix. 10/10.
Came out last minute on a Sunday evening to sort my broken shower out. Polite, great communication and above all professional. 10/10, will be using again!
Adam is a true professional — nothing was too much trouble to make sure my requirements for installing my new fire were met. He installed a connection from a spur and did a top job. 5 star service, would definitely recommend.
ATF Electrics came out to fix our CCTV system that had 2 out of 4 cameras not working. After about 20 minutes he had located the wiring and fixed the issue. Quick job but saved me hundreds. So grateful for the help — will recommend to all my friends and family.
Absolutely fantastic service. Adam was on time, very professional, very knowledgeable and polite. Cannot fault his work and will definitely be using him again for any future work.
Messaged Adam to get new light fixtures installed in my kitchen. He was able to get this sorted for me within 2 days of messaging him. Quick to respond and efficient at getting the job done.
Great service, didn't rip me off. Would definitely recommend.
Couldn't recommend Adam enough — top class service from start to finish, making sure I was aware of what's going on at every stage of the full rewire he completed on my property. Will definitely be using ATF in the future!
