Include external circuits in the booking discussion

For a Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling or other Bexley property, describe the home and any supplied garage, shed or outside lighting when requesting an EICR. Do not assume an outbuilding is part of the same installation or that a separate supply is covered. A clear initial brief helps the inspector and client agree the boundaries of the instruction.

Before the appointment, collect the earlier condition report and records for subsequent electrical work. Arrange safe access through occupied rooms and tell the team about gates or buildings controlled by another person. If the property is being handed between tenants, coordinate the actual access date rather than relying only on the proposed tenancy start.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Fixed wiring, not portable appliances.

An EICR records the condition of the fixed electrical installation within the agreed inspection scope. Discuss access, previous reports and any known alterations with the electrician.

The report may identify work or further investigation. Receiving a report does not mean the installation is satisfactory; follow the findings and agree any next steps separately.

A well-prepared visit.

Review the report or record and any action required. Repairs, further investigation and repeat visits must be agreed separately.
