Bring electrical alterations into the brief
An EICR enquiry for Beckenham, Orpington, Chislehurst or elsewhere in Bromley should include known changes to the installation. Mention an extension, new shower, replacement consumer unit or supplied garden room, and provide the available certificates. The aim is to give the inspector a useful history rather than infer the installation condition from the property age.
Confirm which rooms and separate spaces can be accessed on the day. If an agent holds the keys, check that they cover any relevant side gate or outbuilding as well as the front door. Tell the booking team if residents need advance planning around an interruption to the supply so the visit can be discussed appropriately.
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.

EICR questions in Bromley
Do I need to remove a consumer unit cover before the visit?
No. Leave inspection and any access to electrical equipment to the qualified person.
Does the age of the house decide the EICR result?
No. The inspector assesses the installation and test findings; age alone does not determine the outcome.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
