Wired and Wonderful carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords and property buyers across Wimbledon and the surrounding areas of SW London. An EICR is a thorough, methodical inspection of your entire electrical installation, covering wiring, consumer units, earthing, bonding and every fixed fitting. The result is either a satisfactory certificate, valid for up to five years depending on the age and condition of the installation, or a detailed written report setting out exactly what remedial work is needed and why.
As an NICEIC approved contractor, all of our inspection and certification work meets the requirements of BS 7671 and is automatically notified to Building Control under Part P of the Building Regulations. You receive a properly issued certificate that your insurer, managing agent or solicitor will accept without question.
Wimbledon has a wide mix of property types, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces with original fabric still intact through to substantial detached houses and purpose-built flats. Older wiring systems, partial rewires carried out at different points in a property’s history, and installations that have never been formally inspected are all common findings in this part of London.
An EICR identifies deterioration, overloading, damage and anything that does not meet current safety standards. For landlords, a valid EICR is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. For homeowners selling or buying, it provides an objective record of the installation’s condition that solicitors and lenders increasingly ask to see.
We understand that homes in Wimbledon are often occupied by families with busy schedules and that discretion matters. We work around your arrangements, liaise directly with agents or tenants to arrange access, and can collect keys where that is more convenient.
We begin with a full visual and tested inspection of your installation. Every circuit is examined, readings are taken and recorded, and the condition of the consumer unit, earthing arrangement and fixed wiring is assessed against current standards.
If the installation passes, we issue a satisfactory EICR certificate. If faults or observations are recorded, you receive a clear written report summarising the condition of the installation, the classification of each issue and a no-obligation quotation for any remedial work that is needed. Once the remedial work has been completed, we return to carry out the final checks and issue a new satisfactory certificate.
Throughout the process we keep disruption to a minimum. Where access to multiple rooms is needed we plan the visit to cause as little inconvenience as possible, and we leave the property exactly as we found it.

The time required depends on the size and complexity of the property. A typical two or three bedroom house usually takes between three and four hours. Larger properties or installations with more circuits will take longer. We will give you a realistic time estimate when you make your enquiry.
A satisfactory EICR certificate is valid for up to five years, depending on the age and condition of the installation at the time of inspection. For rental properties, the legal maximum interval between inspections is five years or at the start of each new tenancy, whichever comes first.
If the inspection identifies faults or observations that prevent a satisfactory outcome, we issue a report clearly setting out the findings and their classification. We also provide a quotation for the remedial works required. Once those works are complete, we return to carry out a final inspection and issue a new satisfactory certificate.
