EICR inspection in Sanderstead before key decisions
- 01
Before you sell your home
Buyers and their surveyors often ask about the electrics, and an old installation can raise questions late in a sale. Having an EICR done before you list your Sanderstead home lets you fix any issues on your own terms and hand buyers a recent report.

Homes with no previous report
If you can't find any record of an electrical inspection, or the last one was over ten years ago, an EICR is a sensible first step. It shows what condition the wiring is in now and what, if anything, needs attention, so you can plan rather than guess.

Getting your home ready
Clear access to the consumer unit, the meter and as many sockets as you can, including those behind heavy furniture. Let us know about outbuildings, garden power or loft lighting. The more we can reach, the fewer limitations need noting on the report.
Booking an EICR inspection in Sanderstead
We carry out inspections across Sanderstead from our South Croydon base. When you book, we ask about the property's size, age and any outbuildings, so we can allow the right amount of time and give you a free quote.
On the day, we test each circuit in turn, so the power goes off for short spells. Afterwards you receive the written report, and we talk you through the results and any codes. If repairs are needed, we quote for them separately.
To help on the day
- Clear space around the consumer unit
- Move furniture away from key sockets
- Tell us about garden or outbuilding power
- Save work on computers first
- Note any problems you've noticed

EICR inspection in Sanderstead: your questions
Should I get an EICR before selling my house in Sanderstead?
It's not a legal requirement, but it often helps. A recent report answers buyers' questions about the wiring and lets you fix any issues before they come up in a survey. It can make the sale smoother and avoid last-minute renegotiation.
My Sanderstead home has never had an EICR, where do I start?
Book an inspection and tell us what you know about the property, such as roughly when it was last rewired or had a new fuse box. We'll inspect and test the installation and give you a report showing its current condition and any recommended work.
Do I need to be home for an EICR in Sanderstead?
Someone needs to let us in and be around at the start and end, so we can ask questions and explain the results. You don't need to watch the whole inspection. If the property is empty or tenanted, we can arrange access with an agent or key holder.
Will an EICR in Sanderstead damage my walls or decor?
No. The inspection involves opening the consumer unit and removing a sample of socket and switch covers to check the connections behind them. These are refitted afterwards. We don't cut into walls, lift carpets or take up floorboards as part of a standard inspection.
