Start with the property
The electrician inspects and tests the agreed fixed installation. Portable appliance checks are a separate service.
Gather the right information
Tell the team how many consumer units or boards there are and the estimated circuit count. Mention extensions, outbuildings and shared supplies.
Ask the useful questions
The report records observations and the outcome. If defects or further investigation are identified, discuss the next steps and a separate quotation for remedial work.
Agree the next step
An inspection does not guarantee a satisfactory result. Keep the report with any subsequent repair and testing records.
Put the information to use
Access to consumer units and relevant rooms; occupiers informed about possible supply interruptions.
