TES Compliance carries out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, property managers and businesses in Basingstoke and the surrounding area. Our NICEIC-approved engineers inspect fixed wiring installations and produce certified reports that satisfy landlord licensing, insurance and regulatory requirements.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection of the fixed wiring within a building. It covers the consumer unit, distribution boards, wiring circuits, earthing and bonding arrangements, sockets, switches and lighting circuits. It does not cover portable appliances; that is addressed separately through electrical equipment testing. The purpose of the EICR is to assess whether the fixed installation is safe, identify any deterioration or non-compliance with current standards, and produce a certified report with any defects classified according to the code system set out in the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). A qualified TES Compliance engineer carries out a visual inspection of all accessible parts of the installation, followed by dead testing of circuits where the supply can be safely isolated and live testing where it cannot. Every observation is coded: C1 represents an immediate danger, C2 is potentially dangerous and requires remedial action, C3 is a recommendation. The completed report states whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use and lists all observations clearly for your records. Basingstoke is one of Hampshire’s largest commercial centres, with a significant concentration of office buildings, business parks and residential lettings across the town. The Viables Industrial Estate, Basing View business park and the surrounding residential areas all include properties that require periodic EICR inspections. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders are legally responsible for maintaining electrical systems in a safe condition. For residential landlords in Basingstoke, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require a valid EICR before any new tenancy begins and at least every five years thereafter. For commercial properties the maximum recommended interval is also five years, though insurers and lease agreements often stipulate more frequent testing.
TES Compliance covers Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire area, scheduling inspections efficiently and meeting certificate deadlines that matter to landlords and property managers across the town and surrounding villages.
Every EICR is completed to BS 7671 standards by a NICEIC-approved engineer and issued digitally. Your certificate is accepted by letting agents, local authority licensing schemes, insurers and solicitors across Basingstoke and Hampshire.
If the inspection identifies C1 or C2 coded defects, our engineers can carry out remedial work directly. You do not need to source a separate contractor before the installation can be re-certified, keeping the process straightforward and on schedule.
Basingstoke has grown significantly as a commercial and residential centre over the past three decades, with a mix of modern office developments at Basing View, established industrial estates and a substantial private rental market across the town. Landlords in Basingstoke are legally required to hold a valid EICR before any new tenancy begins and to renew it at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Where the inspection identifies C1 or C2 defects, remedial work must be completed within 28 days. TES Compliance provides EICR certificates that meet these requirements and can carry out any necessary remedial work in-house to avoid delays.
For commercial property managers in Basingstoke, the requirement applies equally to office buildings, retail premises and industrial units. Many businesses operating from Basing View and the surrounding business parks have long-established installations that benefit from periodic inspection to identify deterioration before it becomes a safety risk or an insurance liability. TES Compliance has experience of working in occupied commercial buildings, planning circuit isolation around business hours and producing reports that give facilities managers the documentation they need for their compliance records.
Many Basingstoke clients also combine their EICR with electrical equipment testing to address both the fixed installation and portable appliances in a single compliance programme. For clients with properties that extend across the region, we carry out EICR in London, EICR in Southampton and EICR in Guildford for those with wider portfolios.

They carried out a massive testing job for us on a very active, complex building. It’s hard to find people who are willing to tackle the big technical stuff but still happy to help out with the smaller bits too. The engineers are great and continue to support us with our compliance and installations. 10/10.
The team at TES were great in arranging, managing and performing PAT and EICR reports that was urgently required. I would highly recommend them for their prompt and efficient service
The requirement for a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report applies across the full range of residential and commercial property in Basingstoke. TES Compliance carries out EICR inspections for private landlords with residential lets across the town, HMOs subject to mandatory or additional licensing, commercial office buildings and business parks at Basing View and across Basingstoke, retail and leisure premises in Festival Place and the town centre, industrial and warehouse units across the Viables and Houndmills estates, care homes and healthcare facilities in the area, and schools and educational buildings across Hampshire. Whether you manage a single property or a portfolio spread across Basingstoke and the surrounding villages, TES Compliance will schedule inspections to minimise disruption and produce clear, certified documentation. You can see examples of the kind of work we carry out on our projects page, including compliance programmes for Shortstay UK and Canon Medical.

TES Compliance charges from £7 per circuit for EICR inspections in Basingstoke. The total depends on the number of circuits in your property, the age and condition of the installation, and the type of building. We provide free quotes based on your specific address and property type before any work is booked. Get in touch and we will come back to you with a clear price.
For residential lettings, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require a valid EICR at least every five years or at the start of each new tenancy. For commercial properties the maximum recommended interval is five years, though many insurers and lease agreements require more frequent inspections depending on the nature of the occupancy. TES Compliance will advise on an appropriate schedule based on the condition of your installation and how it is used.
Any defects found are coded in the report. A C1 observation means there is an immediate danger that must be addressed before the installation can be used safely. A C2 observation is potentially dangerous and requires remedial work, within 28 days for residential properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. A C3 observation is a recommendation rather than a requirement. TES Compliance can carry out all remedial electrical work in-house, which means you do not need to find a separate contractor before the installation can be re-tested and a satisfactory certificate issued.
Yes. Most EICR inspections are carried out in occupied premises. Dead testing requires circuits to be isolated for a period, which we schedule in advance with you and your tenants to minimise disruption. For commercial premises across Basingstoke we are experienced at planning inspections around business hours. For residential properties we arrange access directly with tenants and keep any periods without power as brief as possible. Contact us via our book a visit page to arrange a suitable time.
