Keep separate units distinct in your enquiry

For an EICR in Purley, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Coulsdon or another Croydon neighbourhood, list the exact premises being instructed. If one owner has several units in a building, send the unit identifiers and available electrical records for each. Do not assume that one installation report describes every dwelling merely because the same landlord owns them.

Explain any planned refurbishment or tenancy handover and distinguish completed electrical work from work still proposed. An inspector assesses the installation present at the visit. If follow-up work is needed, keep its certification with the report so there is an understandable record of what has changed. Use the council for current property licensing information rather than treating the inspection booking as a licensing application.

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.

01 / SCOPE

Describe the property

Identify the exact dwelling or premises, its full postcode and any shared systems. Commercial and complex properties may need a tailored quote.

02 / ACCESS

Agree the visit

Arrange a keyholder and tell occupiers what to expect. Share previous records and known access restrictions before the appointment.

03 / FOLLOW-UP

Read the findings

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

EICR questions in Croydon

Can my portfolio enquiry include several Croydon addresses?

Yes. Provide the number of properties and broad scope first; the team can agree individual instructions and access.

Will planned improvements change the report result now?

The inspection concerns the installation present at the visit. Tell the inspector about proposed work, but do not treat it as already completed.

Is this a council-run service?

No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
