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.
