Coordinate the right unit and building permissions
For Peckham, Camberwell, Bermondsey, Dulwich, Walworth or another Southwark address, state whether the request is for a private dwelling, several units or a separately managed common installation. Provide the exact flat or unit details and explain any building visitor procedure. These distinctions help the team agree scope before the appointment.
If electrical cupboards are managed outside the dwelling, arrange authorised access with the landlord or building manager. Supply the earlier report and certificates for later electrical changes, and discuss relevant occupier needs before testing. A report for the home should not be assumed to certify every common system, and a council licensing requirement should be checked through the council for the individual address.
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.
