EICR in Chislehurst: the questions people ask first
Bromley Electrical Services covers Chislehurst and the surrounding area, and the answers below should help you decide what to ask for.
How much does an electrical safety inspection cost?
There is no single UK price. The cost depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits and consumer units, and how easy everything is to reach. A small flat and a large detached house will not cost the same.
Be wary of a flat price given without any questions about the property. Ask whether a quote is free, and ask for it in writing. A free quote is only useful if it says what is covered, including what happens if the inspection finds faults.
Who can do an EICR, and is there a list of qualified electricians?
Anyone can call themselves an electrician, so it pays to check. AM2 is a practical assessment that many electricians take as part of their training, but it is not the only thing to look at. Ask for proof of qualifications and whether the person is registered with a competent person scheme.
There is no single national list, but the schemes publish online registers you can search. A trusted local electrician should be happy to show ID and confirm they are qualified and insured. That is a sensible question for any electrical inspections you book.
How do I check a property has an EICR?
Ask the landlord, seller or managing agent for a copy. A proper report names the inspector, gives the address, shows the inspection date and states whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
People often search for condition reports EICR when they only need to confirm one exists. Check that the date is recent and that any faults listed were put right. If you are unsure, the firm named on the report can usually confirm it. Landlord rules and recommended intervals can change, so check GOV.UK for the current position.
Which service do you need?
A landlord, a buyer, a seller and a shop owner each need something slightly different. Bromley Electrical Services covers domestic and commercial EICR work, including Landlord EICR, EICR for Buying or Selling and Commercial EICR.
If a report points to older equipment, Consumer Unit Upgrades and general electrician work are also available. Together these services offer wide range cover, from inspection to installation and upgrades. Whether a website mentions Kent, Bromley or Greater London, check that the electrician covers your postcode, then send your details through the form today.
