ICR Inspection for Large Holiday Let in Ringwood, Hampshire
Case Study: Full Electrical Installation Condition Report
Arnold Electrical Contractors were instructed to carry out a full Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for a large domestic holiday let in Ringwood.
The property operates year round as guest accommodation, making electrical safety, compliance, and reliability a priority for the owner. A thorough EICR inspection was required to ensure the installation met current regulations and was safe for continued use by guests.
Project Overview
This EICR inspection covered a large and complex electrical installation across multiple consumer units and circuits.
Location: Ringwood, Hampshire
Property Type: Large domestic holiday let
Scope of Work: Full EICR inspection, minor remedial works, additional lighting installation
Duration: 3 days
Team: 2 qualified electricians
Electrical System: Approximately 80 circuits across 6 consumer units, including three phase distribution
EICR Challenges in a Live Holiday Let
As the property remained occupied during the inspection, testing had to be carefully planned around guest arrival and departure times. This required flexibility, clear communication, and efficient working to minimise disruption while still completing a full and compliant EICR.
Despite the challenges of a live environment, our electricians completed a detailed inspection of the entire fixed electrical installation.
EICR Findings and Remedial Works
During the EICR inspection, several electrical faults were identified that could have posed a risk to guests if left unresolved. These issues were clearly documented within the EICR report and categorised in line with current electrical safety standards.
All necessary remedial works were completed promptly while on site, allowing the installation to be brought up to a satisfactory standard without delay.
Additional Electrical Works Completed
Alongside the EICR inspection, we also carried out a number of improvements to enhance safety and usability:
• Installation of new internal and external lighting
• Minor electrical repairs and improvements
• Tidying and labelling of distribution boards to support future maintenance
Outcome
The holiday let now holds a fully up to date EICR certificate, confirming the electrical installation is safe and compliant for continued use. Electrical safety has been improved, risks to guests reduced, and future maintenance made easier through clearer labelling and documentation.
As a returning client, the property owner was pleased with the thoroughness of the EICR inspection and the flexibility shown while working around guests.
