Prepare a clear brief for flats and houses
For a property in Acton, Southall, Hanwell, Greenford or elsewhere in Ealing, start an EICR enquiry with the full dwelling address and how the premises are used. If a house has been divided into flats, explain which unit is being inspected and any known shared electrical arrangements. This is more useful than relying on a street name or the outward appearance of the building.
Find the previous report and certification for any later kitchen, bathroom or consumer-unit work. Coordinate access with tenants or the agent and mention any locked storage areas containing electrical equipment. An inspection does not replace council advice about property licensing or other permissions; keep those questions with the authority responsible for the particular address.
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 Ealing
Does an EICR also assess the gas boiler?
No. Electrical condition reporting and gas safety checks serve different purposes and need the appropriate separate instruction.
Can a street postcode identify the installation scope?
No. Provide the full dwelling details and a description of the electrical arrangements.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
