Define the areas to be checked
Start with the fixed installation that belongs to the property. Private dwelling circuits, an outbuilding and a communal landlord supply should not be assumed to fall within the same inspection.
Prepare the information
Supply the board and circuit counts if known, and make the previous electrical report available. The electrician will need suitable access and some testing can involve interruption of the supply.
Review the findings and scope
Read the observations as well as the overall result. Any defects, further investigation or limitations need to be understood before deciding how to address the findings.
Keep the right records
Keep the EICR together with separate confirmation of remedial work where relevant. The inspection fee does not automatically cover repairs, and a completed inspection cannot promise a satisfactory outcome.
