Coordinate with the building team in the Square Mile
For a City of London property, including an address around the Barbican or Golden Lane, distinguish a private dwelling from communal or commercial electrical installations. The City of London means the Square Mile local authority area, not every London postcode. Supply the exact unit and building name so the instruction is assigned to the right premises.
If access is controlled by a concierge or managing agent, explain their visitor procedure and any arrangements for electrical rooms. A resident key may not provide access to every relevant cupboard. Share the previous EICR and known alteration records before the visit, and discuss any proposed power interruption with the people responsible for the building and the occupier.
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.
