ELECTRICAL INSPECTION

EICR in
Kingston upon Thames.

Plan your electrical inspection in Kingston upon Thames with practical preparation advice, official resources and a clear route to booking.

SurbitonNew MaldenChessingtonTolworthKingston

Prepare records for the whole agreed dwelling

For Surbiton, New Malden, Chessington, Tolworth or Kingston, include any loft room, extension or supplied separate space in your EICR property description. This allows the team to discuss the installation as it exists rather than work from an incomplete room list. If an annexe has separate occupation, say so before booking.

Have the previous report and certificates for later electrical work available, and explain any planned changes that have not yet happened. Arrange access with the occupier and identify equipment or household needs that affect timing around a power interruption. The visit should be planned around the agreed instruction, not treated as a promise that a particular report outcome will be achieved.

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.
