Immersion heater timer control installed in Castleford.

With energy costs continuing to rise, leaving an immersion heater running all day can quickly add up.

A timer control helps heat water only when it’s actually needed, reducing wasted energy and helping lower everyday running costs.

Small upgrade. Big difference to the bill.

Media wall lighting completed in Wakefield alongside JW maintenance and handyman services.

For this project, we installed Ansell Pro Mini Prism downlights to create a warm, subtle finish across the shelving and fireplace area. The right lighting makes a huge difference on feature walls like this — adding depth, atmosphere and a clean final look.

A great project to be part of.

Understanding Your EICR Codes

Excellence in Electrical Compliance, Installation & Maintenance

⸻

🔎 What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety and condition of your property’s fixed wiring in line with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.

If you’re a landlord, this is a legal requirement every 5 years.

⸻

🚦 EICR Observation Codes Explained

During the inspection, any issues are graded using the following codes:

⸻

🔴 C1 – Danger Present

Immediate risk of injury.

This means something is unsafe right now.

Examples:
• Exposed live wires
• Broken sockets with live parts accessible
• Severe overheating in consumer unit
• Loose connections causing arcing

⚠️ We will make safe before leaving site.

Result: UNSATISFACTORY

⸻

🟠 C2 – Potentially Dangerous

Urgent remedial action required.

Not immediately life-threatening, but could become dangerous.

Examples:
• No RCD protection where required
• Missing main bonding
• Incorrect breaker size
• Signs of overheating
• Poor terminations

⚠️ Repairs required as soon as possible.

Result: UNSATISFACTORY

⸻

🟡 C3 – Improvement Recommended

Not dangerous. Upgrade advised.

Installation is safe but not to current regulations.

Examples:
• Older plastic consumer unit
• No SPD protection
• Minor labelling issues
• Older wiring colours

✔ No immediate action required.

Result: SATISFACTORY (if only C3 present)

⸻

⚪ FI – Further Investigation

Further testing required to determine safety.

This must be resolved before the report can be confirmed as satisfactory.

Result: UNSATISFACTORY until investigated

⸻

✅ When Is an EICR Satisfactory?

✔ Only C3 observations
❌ No C1
❌ No C2
❌ No FI

⸻

🏠 For Landlords

If your report is unsatisfactory:
• Remedial works must be completed within 28 days
• A new certificate must be issued confirming compliance

We provide full remedial quotations and certification.

🚨 EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL CALLOUT 🚨

We were called out to a very serious fault where the customer reported smoke coming from behind the kitchen units and could hear crackling from within the wall.

On attendance, we found a poorly installed electrical joint hidden in the wall, which was overheating and at serious risk of causing a fire.

⚠️ What we did:
• Carefully exposed the affected cables
• Removed the unsafe joint
• Re-terminated the wiring correctly and safely
• Fully re-tested the circuit before leaving site

This could have ended very differently.

🔍 This is why regular electrical inspections (EICRs) are vital.
Hidden defects like this often show no warning signs until it’s almost too late. An EICR can identify dangerous issues before they become emergencies.

If your property hasn’t been inspected, don’t wait for smoke or sparks.
