ELECTRICAL INSPECTION

EICR in
Westminster.

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

Prepare a precise instruction for a managed address

For Marylebone, Paddington, Pimlico, Soho, Maida Vale or another Westminster address, identify the dwelling separately from any commercial unit or communal area in the building. Include the full unit name or number and describe relevant access procedures. A mixed-use address should be discussed before a domestic inspection is assumed to cover the entire premises.

Have the complete earlier EICR and later electrical work certificates ready. If a porter, concierge or managing agent controls access to equipment, arrange the appropriate permission and attendance in advance. Tell the team about occupancy and equipment needs that may affect timing around a supply interruption. Council licensing and other permissions remain separate from LPC’s inspection service.

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 Westminster

Will a domestic EICR include a ground-floor business?

Not automatically. Describe each use and installation so the appropriate service and instruction can be agreed.

Can a building name replace the flat number?

Provide both where relevant. The exact unit helps match the instruction and report to the correct dwelling.

Is this a council-run service?

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