Documented EICR case · South London

Socket-earthing findings in a South London EICR

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.

Original assessment: Unsatisfactory
Original observations: 2 C2 · 2 C3
Later assessment: Satisfactory

The consumer unit in the original inspection record. The socket findings are recorded in the EICR, rather than diagnosed from this photograph.

What can the two reports establish about the socket findings?

Two C2 observations in the original report described missing earth connections at bedroom socket outlets. Two separate C3 recommendations were also recorded. The overall assessment was unsatisfactory.

The documented next step

The later EICR identifies the same installation and records a satisfactory assessment. The paired records support that change in recorded outcome. They do not provide a step-by-step repair account, so this case does not claim a particular repair technique.

What to take into your own property decision

A finding is specific

The observations concerned named socket-outlet issues. An unsatisfactory assessment does not, on its own, specify a full rewire.

A photograph has limits

The consumer-unit photograph provides equipment context. The socket-earthing findings are established by the report, rather than diagnosed from the board photograph.

Follow-up papers matter

A later assessment should be read with its own extent and limitations, alongside the earlier findings and any completion paperwork.

Evidence and scope

The original and later EICRs were reviewed together. A precise repair method, duration and customer price are not established by these records and are not stated here.

Original and follow-up EICRs reviewed; photograph comes from the original inspection record. Reviewed and published 18 October 2026. Customer identities and original signed reports remain private.

This example is part of a selected review of 20 reports across 18 installations. The sample describes those records, rather than our total workload or a London-wide failure rate.
