An EICR visit goes faster when the inspector can reach everything they need to test. These are the jobs that make the biggest difference.
- Clear access to the consumer unit.
- Find the meter cupboard key, common in flats and Central MK apartment blocks.
- Tell tenants the power will go off in stages during the visit.
- Flag medical equipment or home-working so testing can be planned around it.
- Open up lofts, garages and outbuildings that have a supply from the house.
- Have the last EICR or EIC to hand so readings can be compared.
- Locate any second board or off-peak meter.
- Make most sockets reachable.
- Keep pets secure, as doors will be opening and closing.
- Share parking details: permit, parking court or visitor bay.
Why it matters
Anything the inspector cannot reach is recorded as a limitation. Fewer limitations mean a clearer report and less chance of a return visit.
