How we work

Understanding your needs

We’ll assess your specific requirements and give you a detailed and comprehensive quotation, with no obligation.

Conducting the test

We’ll carry out a meticulous on-site inspection of your system and employ rigorous testing to assess its safety and performance.

Reports and recommendations

We’ll provide a detailed report that highlights any defects, risks, or non-compliance. And we’ll recommend all the necessary repairs or improvements.

Installation Certificate

Commercial Certificates

Our experienced electricians can issue electrical installation certificates for your business. These certificates confirm the safety and compliance of electrical systems in commercial spaces. They prove that the electrical installations meet all the necessary safety standards and have been thoroughly inspected and tested. They provide peace of mind to business owners, employees, and customers. And with these certificates, commercial space owners can be confident that they are fully compliant and have taken all the necessary steps to reduce the risk of electrical accidents.

Residential Certificates

Our team of qualified electricians specialises in providing comprehensive EIC services. The certificate proves that the electrical installation in your residential property meets the necessary safety standards and is a legal requirement for rented-out properties. From new electrical installations to significant alterations or additions and the certificate itself, we can handle it all. With our expertise and attention to detail, you can rest assured that your property’s electrical systems are safe for your tenants, reliable, and fully compliant with building regulations.

Electrical inspection condition reports

Commercial reports

All commercial properties need an EICR by a qualified electrician, such as Hopkins Electrical, to ensure their electrical installations are safe. It’s not a direct legal obligation, but an up-to-date EICR shows you are complying with the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and Electricity and Work Regulations (1989). In addition, if you don’t have an EICR and fail to make any suggested repairs, you could be held liable for any damage caused by your premises’ faulty electrical installations. .

Residential reports

For privately rented residential properties, it is a legal requirement to have an EICR for their property every five years or when there is a change of occupancy – whichever comes first. Landlords must ensure that they comply with this legal obligation to guarantee the safety of their tenants. What’s more, if you don’t have an EICR for a property you rent out, there can be legal penalties – and you’ll find it difficult to get the appropriate insurance cover.

Our Projects

What our customers think

Placed an emergency call out with Hopkins Electrical as I had lost all power to my house. Chris turned up within 60 minutes of me placing the call and found that a rat had bitten through one of the cables. He made a temporary repair and then came back a couple of days later and replaced the fuse board and the cabling. Neat job, very professional and very reasonably priced.

Michael Underwood

Chris and his team talked us through the whole re wiring process and made sure we had enough sockets and switches in the right places before we started any work. They turned up on time and were very professional in their approach to out very large project. They were always easy to get hold of and would always offer good solutions to any problems we had with our build.

If like me the thought of having to find an electrician brings you out in a cold sweat then chill and call Hopkins Electrical. From start to finish they were professional and friendly. When they came and undertook the work I was so impressed with the transparency and integrity of their employee who talked me though everything. The work was done to a high standard and I have no problem giving them 5 stars. Great company, great service.
