Account for more than the main living rooms
In Enfield Town, Edmonton, Palmers Green, Southgate or elsewhere in Enfield, tell the team about all areas that may form part of the electrical instruction. A utility area, loft room or supplied outside store can be missed in a brief that describes only bedrooms. The inspector needs an accurate property description and agreed access, not an assumption based on the number of rooms alone.
If the household works from home or has equipment that must remain powered, explain this before a visit is arranged. Inspection and testing can involve interruption to the electrical supply, so discuss timing and any relevant needs with the team. Keep the previous EICR and records of electrical changes together for the qualified person to review.
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.
