Keep flat identifiers and installation records clear

For Angel, Highbury, Archway, Canonbury or elsewhere in Islington, provide the precise flat identifier and entrance details for an EICR enquiry. If the building has several homes, explain whether the electrical cupboard belongs to the dwelling or is managed centrally. A report should be read against the installation it describes, not merely a familiar building name.

Bring the earlier condition report and certificates for electrical work completed since then. If the instruction is part of a property handover, confirm who currently has authority to provide access and who will receive the report. Ask the council directly about current licensing requirements; electrical inspection and property licensing are related records but different processes.

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 Islington

Can I rely on a report carrying only the building address?

Check the document’s installation description with the issuer. Do not assume it covers your specific flat.

Who should supply the earlier report?

Ask the landlord, agent or previous issuer for the complete document where available.

Is this a council-run service?

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