Frequently asked questions

What is an EICR, and is it a legal requirement in Coventry?

Yes. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal safety check designed to assess the safety and compliance of a property’s fixed wiring. UK law mandates that commercial premises and private rental properties must have regular, certified electrical safety checks.

How often does a property require electrical safety testing?

Most commercial buildings, including offices, shops, and warehouses, require an EICR at least once every five years (or on change of occupancy). Private domestic rental properties must also be tested at least every five years to remain compliant with UK landlord regulations.

Are your electrical inspectors fully accredited?

Yes. Newton Electrical and Mechanical is a fully certified NICEIC Approved Contractor. All of our safety testing is carried out by qualified, registered engineers working strictly to BS7671 wiring standards.

What happens if my Coventry property fails its EICR safety check?

If we find dangerous faults (classified as Code 1 or Code 2), we will detail them clearly in your report. We then provide a transparent, fixed-price quotation for the required remedial works, which we can carry out quickly to bring your property back to a fully compliant, safe standard.

Can you handle testing across large landlord portfolios?

Yes. We work closely with letting agents, property management companies, and commercial landlords across Coventry and the East Midlands, organising structured safety testing programs to keep multi-property portfolios completely compliant.

How do you minimise business disruption during an EICR inspection?

We understand that shutting down circuits can impact business productivity. Our engineers coordinate closely with your facilities manager, scheduling testing in phases, using advanced bypass methods, or working during quieter hours to ensure minimal operational disruption.

Sam responded promptly to my air con enquiry and even visited me at short notice to firm up the scope. We were fitted in quickly, and Dave managed the job well, with the team carrying out a nice tidy install. Would definitely use again in the future and I will certainly recommend to others.

After struggling with underfloor heating that had been left in a broken state by a previous company, my dad endured almost no heating throughout the winter. It was a frustrating and uncomfortable situation until Sam from Newton Electrical and Mechanical came to the rescue. Sam was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the issues, including faulty wiring and broken pumps, and thoroughly cleaned the entire system. Within just two weeks, the system was completely fixed and working perfectly. The level of care, expertise, and efficiency from Newton Electrical and Mechanical was outstanding. I can’t thank them enough for the difference they made. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled professionals for their heating or electrical needs.

We used Newton Electrical and Mechanical for all of our electrical and plumbing work in a large home renovation project and I would thoroughly recommend them. Sam Dave and colleagues have all been knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and communicative and take pride in completing work to a high standard, a pleasure to work with. As with any large project dealing with multiple trades, some things didn’t quite go to plan, but I found that any issues that Newton Electrical could help with were resolved quickly and without fuss. It’s very hard to find tradespeople you can trust, but if you’re reading this, congrats- you’ve just found some.
