What Harvtec covers

Condition reporting that leads to an understandable next step

Scope is agreed around the real property, equipment, access and evidence. The page explains the service without replacing a job-specific assessment.

Homes and home buyers

A condition report can help a homeowner or prospective buyer understand the fixed installation, visible risks and any areas needing further attention.

  • Existing homes and older installations
  • Concerns after damage, alteration or repeated faults
  • Information before planned electrical work

Landlords and agents

Harvtec can coordinate access, inspection, report handover and any separately agreed follow-up work for rented homes across Cornwall.

  • Private rented-sector inspection support
  • Clear report and next-inspection information
  • Further investigation or remedial work where identified

Commercial and operational premises

Testing can be planned around access, shutdowns, working areas and the existing information available for the installation.

  • Scope and limitations agreed before testing
  • Operational constraints considered
  • Findings connected to practical follow-up

Questions

Useful answers before you enquire

Is an EICR the same as a repair quotation?

No. The report records the condition and observations. Any further investigation or remedial work should be scoped separately from those findings.

Will the electricity need to be switched off?

Testing normally requires planned interruption. The practical timing and any sensitive equipment should be discussed before attendance.

How often do rented homes need inspection?

Current GOV.UK guidance for England says covered rented homes must be inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner where the report requires it. Check the official guidance for scope and exceptions.

How much does an EICR in Cornwall cost?

The quotation depends on the property, number of consumer units and circuits, available records, access and any shutdown arrangements. Send the postcode, property use and previous report if available. Harvtec confirms the inspection scope and price before attendance; remedial work is agreed separately.

Does an EICR include PAT testing?

An EICR assesses the fixed electrical installation. PAT testing concerns appliances and equipment. Tell us if you need both so the installation and appliance work can be scoped separately and coordinated around access.

What happens if the EICR is unsatisfactory?

We explain the observations, any urgent concerns and the investigation or remedial work identified in the report. Follow-up is planned from those findings, with the scope and resulting records agreed before further work.

How is Harvtec connected to Safe Wiring Cornwall?

Safe Wiring Cornwall Powered by Harvtec is our dedicated EICR, PAT and electrical-testing compliance brand. Harvtec provides the wider electrical, engineering, workshop, compliance and software services. Both are operated by Philip Harvey trading as Harvtec.

Do you cover Camborne, Redruth, Hayle and Penzance?

Based in Brea, Camborne, we cover Camborne, Redruth, Hayle and Penzance, with wider Cornwall work agreed around the site and scope. We have an established presence in Hayle and an engineer in the Penzance area. Send the postcode and work required so we can confirm scope, access and availability.

Can I request EICR and PAT testing together?

Yes. Choose EICR and PAT testing on the enquiry form. Include the property postcode, property use, approximate installation size and appliance count where known. The fixed installation and appliance work are separate scopes; we confirm whether they can be coordinated in one visit after reviewing access and requirements.

Inspection and testing

Start with the property and the reason for the report.

Send the Cornwall location, property type, occupancy or operating constraints and any previous report so the appropriate scope can be discussed.
