Real EICR projects, from findings to follow-up
See what actual London inspection records show: the findings that needed attention, the outcome recorded at follow-up, and why different installations need separate reports. These examples come from work arranged through London EICR Certificates and completed by the electrical contractor.
A closer look at the records
A report is more useful when you can see the finding, the next step and the paperwork that follows. These examples draw on a recent review of genuine inspection records. Customer identities and signed originals remain private.

A reviewed sample of inspection records dated 21 September to 15 October 2026. It is a selected document sample, not our total workload or a London-wide survey.
From an unsatisfactory report to a satisfactory follow-up
An older installation needed attention to socket protection, bathroom electrics and a loose socket. The original report and later paperwork let us follow the outcome beyond the first inspection.
West London · inspection and remedial follow-up
What the inspection recorded
The original EICR was unsatisfactory, with ten observations: six C2 items, two FI items and two C3 recommendations. The findings included socket and bathroom protection, bathroom equipment suitability, and securing a socket and its cables.
What happened next
The office correspondence confirms that the agreed remedial work was completed. A later EICR for the same installation records a satisfactory assessment. Both reports are retained with the job correspondence.
Original EICR, later satisfactory EICR and completion correspondence reviewed.

The first assessment identified specific socket-outlet issues. The evidence records the original findings and a later satisfactory assessment, without treating a photograph as a diagnosis.
South London · socket findings and follow-up
What the inspection recorded
Two C2 observations described missing earth connections at bedroom socket outlets. Two separate C3 observations were also listed. The overall assessment was unsatisfactory.
What the later record shows
A later EICR for the same installation records a satisfactory assessment. The reports establish that change in recorded outcome; they do not provide a step-by-step account of the repair method.
Original and follow-up EICRs reviewed; photograph comes from the original inspection record.
See how to read an EICRSeparate reports for a flat and the communal installation
A flat's inspection and a communal-area inspection were documented separately. This makes the installation covered by each assessment clear to the person managing the building.
North London · flat and communal-area records
Two defined scopes
The reviewed records contain one EICR for the flat and another for the communal-area installation at the same building. They are separate installations in the sample, rather than a duplicate report.
What the reports recorded
Both EICRs recorded satisfactory assessments, with no numbered observations in their observation tables. Each assessment remains subject to the extent and limitations recorded in its own report.
Two separate EICRs reviewed; photograph comes from the communal-area inspection record.

These additional photographs were supplied by our team and reviewed for visible personal and property identifiers. They show equipment and access conditions; they are not matched to the three report cases above and do not establish an inspection result.
What the reviewed sample shows
The figures below describe this document review. An installation with a follow-up report is counted once in the assessment table, so the later record does not inflate the property count.
| Recorded assessment | Installations |
|---|---|
| Satisfactory | 11 |
| Unsatisfactory | 7 |
| Total | 18 |
Two of the unsatisfactory installations also have later satisfactory EICRs in the reviewed set. Those follow-ups are retained as outcome evidence and are not counted as two extra properties.
How this sample was checked
Reviewed 18 October 2026. The 20 most recently received EICRs found in the connected supplier correspondence at review time. One separate PAT certificate was excluded. Original inspection dates differ from receipt dates.
20 EICR documents covering 18 installations. Two documents are follow-up reports for installations already included. The earliest report in this reviewed set is counted once per installation.
A small, selected supplier-correspondence sample, not the complete business record, a random survey or an estimate of London failure rates. It does not measure customer delivery time, response time or future safety.
Figures describe the assessments written on the reports. The inspectors' individual coding is not a universal rule for every installation. Reports were completed and signed by the electrical contractor for work arranged through London EICR Certificates. Customer details and original signed documents remain private.
