Yes. Many landlords prefer a combined visit for EICR and PAT testing to cover both fixed electrics and portable appliances, especially for furnished rentals and serviced accommodation.

Yes. We can inspect landlord supplies and communal circuits such as hallway lighting, stairwell sockets, plant room supplies, and other shared services. If you have access arrangements through a managing agent or concierge, we can work around them.

Yes. EICRs are commonly completed in lived-in homes and tenanted flats. We just need safe access to the consumer unit and key areas, and we will work carefully around furniture and belongings.

Yes. Clearing access to the consumer unit, meter cupboard, and a reasonable selection of sockets and fixed points helps the inspection run smoothly and avoids delays.

Yes. Many Kensington properties have older wiring routes, upgraded consumer units, and mixed eras of electrical work. We test the installation as it is today and report against BS 7671, with clear notes where older systems need improvement.

Yes. We carry out EICR testing for HMOs and shared houses, including checks on relevant circuits and safety devices. If the property has multiple consumer units or sub-boards, we will advise the best approach and any additions required.

Often, yes. Availability depends on the diary and the type of inspection required, but we regularly offer same-day or next-day bookings in W8 and surrounding postcodes.

Where these are part of the fixed installation, yes. If there are external isolators, outbuildings, or terrace heaters/lighting, we can include them as long as access is available.

Most flat inspections take around 1–2 hours, depending on the circuit count, access to the consumer unit, and whether there are outbuildings, roof terrace supplies, or additional boards.

In many cases we can provide a remedial quote shortly after the inspection and book repairs promptly. Once the required work is completed, we can issue updated certification confirming compliance.

Typical issues include missing or inadequate bonding, aged consumer units without modern protection, overloaded circuits, signs of overheating at accessories, and wiring alterations carried out without correct testing or certification. Your report will explain exactly what applies to your property.

You will receive a digital EICR PDF within 24 hours. It includes observations, classification codes (C1, C2, C3, FI), and clear recommended actions. Where useful, we also include supporting photos.

Some tests require brief isolation of circuits. We plan the testing to minimise disruption and can avoid switching off critical circuits where possible, depending on the setup and access.
