Coordinate occupied homes and separate areas
For Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Feltham or another Hounslow property, describe how the premises are divided and occupied when requesting an EICR. If a flat has a separate entrance or a cupboard reached through a shared area, explain this early. The booking team can then discuss an instruction that matches the dwelling and the available access.
Keep the previous electrical report and certificates for later additions ready. Where several people share the home, nominate a contact who can coordinate access and notify those affected by any supply interruption. Any inaccessible areas should be discussed with the inspector so limitations are understood; a locked room should not simply be assumed to be outside the installation.
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.
