On this site, this usually means a formal EICR arranged through the correct inspection and reporting
pathway. This guide explains what that formal report covers, what can change the scope, and when a local
fault visit or wider remedial planning may be the better next step.
Best first message: postcode, property type, why the report is needed, any older report or survey
wording, and a consumer-unit photo if you have one. That usually shows whether this is a straightforward
inspection booking or the start of wider remedial planning.
What a formal report usually means
A formal EICR for records, sale or tenancy, remedial planning, or wider electrical decisions.
A proper inspection and written report, not a quick visual opinion.
Clear explanation of the result and the next step if issues are flagged.
What can change the scope
Old reports, survey notes, repeated faults and access issues can change scope and timing.
Sometimes one local problem is better handled by fault finding than a full report.
Send your postcode, property type, the reason for the report, and any old report or consumer-unit
photos. I’ll confirm the likely inspection fit and the clearest next step.
