Keep property alterations and access records together

For Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Barnes or Ham, include the current layout and any supplied separate spaces in an EICR enquiry. If the address includes more than one dwelling, give the individual unit identifier. A history of extensions or conversion can be useful context, but it does not establish electrical condition or the required findings.

Gather the prior inspection report and available certification for work completed since it was issued. Explain access restrictions early, particularly where an occupier or managing agent controls a relevant cupboard. If other refurbishment is planned, distinguish it clearly from completed electrical work so the inspector has an accurate account of the installation present at the visit.

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 Richmond upon Thames

Will an extension certificate replace the whole property EICR?

Do not assume so. The documents cover their stated work or inspection scope; provide both for review.

Can I include proposed refurbishment in the enquiry?

Yes. Make clear what is proposed and what has already been completed.

Is this a council-run service?

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