Hi, I'm Anton Burridge, owner of Burridge Electrical and a NAPIT Registered electrician serving homeowners, buyers, landlords and investors across Kingswood and the surrounding areas.
Unlike larger companies where inspections are often subcontracted, I personally carry out every Home Buyer's EICR. With years of experience inspecting domestic electrical installations, I know exactly what issues to look for when assessing a property's electrical safety and condition.
A Home Buyer's EICR can uncover hidden electrical defects that are not visible during a standard property survey, including outdated wiring, unsafe consumer units, missing earthing, overloaded circuits and potentially dangerous DIY alterations. These findings can often be used during price negotiations before contracts are exchanged.
My aim is simple — provide a thorough, unbiased assessment of the property's electrical installation, explain any defects in plain English and help you make an informed decision before committing to one of the biggest purchases you'll ever make.
Meet Anton →Whether you're a first-time buyer, property investor, or landlord, a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is your most powerful tool. It identifies hidden dangers and costly repairs before the sale completes.
The EICR gives you documented evidence of necessary electrical repairs (Code C1, C2 faults). Use our report to re-negotiate the purchase price or demand the seller fix the issues, potentially saving you thousands.
Electrical fires are often caused by outdated or DIY wiring. Our inspection rigorously checks the fuse board, earthing, bonding, and circuitry to ensure your new home is safe and compliant with BS 7671 standards.
For Buy-to-Let investors, an EICR is a legal requirement in the UK, mandatory every 5 years. Get compliant from day one and ensure your property is insurable and legally ready for tenants.

Had a socket put on the wall for our TV to be hung, Anton even went out of his way to hang the TV for us aswell. Outstanding service, quick, friendly and at a very good price. Even hoovered up after himself and left the area spotless.
Anton was absolutely brilliant, did a fantastic job on installing an EV charger , was kept informed when he was going to attend and he was more than happy to deal with my enquiries.
From the first visit and quote to fit an electric shower, Anton was professional, polite and friendly. The price quoted was fair and the job completed is exceptional. We now have a working shower and Anton showed me the problem with the existing electrical cable.
Many issues identified during a Home Buyer's EICR involve outdated consumer units, older wiring systems, and electrical defects requiring remedial work.
Older homes may require partial or full rewiring to meet modern safety standards and protect your investment.
If faults are identified during our safety testing, we can provide comprehensive fixed-price quotations for all necessary electrical remedial works.
Many home buyers recover the cost of their inspection through price negotiations once electrical defects are identified. A detailed EICR can highlight safety issues, non-compliant installations and potentially expensive remedial works before exchange of contracts.
The Challenge: A property investor acquiring a Victorian rental property in Kingswood required a mandatory Landlord EICR and Condition Report to meet legal tenancy obligations.
The Result: Our report found Code 2 issues (potential danger) with the ancient fuse box. We provided a rectification quote allowing the investor to negotiate £1,800 off the purchase price.

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.
Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.
I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
