Your home’s electrics are easy to take for granted—until something goes wrong. But just like your car needs an MOT, your property’s electrical system also needs regular check-ups to stay safe, efficient, and up to standard. At All Point Electrical, we carry out every electrical safety check in Scarborough with professionalism, care, and clear advice. If you’re not sure when you last had your home electrics looked at, now might be the perfect time to get it sorted.
What Is an Electrical Safety Check?
An electrical safety check—officially known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)—is a full inspection of your home’s wiring, sockets, switches, fuse board, and overall system. We assess whether everything is working correctly, safely, and in line with current UK regulations.
After the inspection, we give you a detailed report outlining any issues we find and what (if anything) needs to be repaired or upgraded.
How Often Should You Book One?
For most homes, we recommend an electrical safety check every 10 years. However, there are times when more frequent checks make sense:
- Every 5 years for rented properties (a legal requirement for landlords)
- Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
- Every 5 years, if your home has a swimming pool or hot tub
- Before buying or selling a property
- After major renovations or extensions
If your home is older or you’re experiencing problems like flickering lights, frequent tripping, or buzzing sockets, it’s worth booking a check sooner.
Why Regular Checks Matter
Safety First
Faulty wiring, outdated fuse boards, and loose connections can cause fires or electric shocks. A regular check helps catch these problems early.
Peace of Mind
Even if everything looks fine, issues can be hidden behind walls or in your consumer unit. An inspection confirms that everything is running safely.
Up-to-Date Compliance
Electrical standards change over time. A safety check ensures your home meets the latest regulations and helps you plan for any required upgrades.
