Wired and Wonderful is a family run electrical company based in SW London. We have been carrying out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners and landlords across Putney and the surrounding areas for over a decade, and our work is backed by more than 70 verified reviews on Trusted Traders.
An EICR gives you a clear, documented picture of the condition of every electrical installation in your property. Our NICEIC approved electricians carry out each inspection methodically and without unnecessary disruption to your home, producing a report that meets current wiring regulations and is accepted by insurers, letting agents and local authority licensing teams.
If you are a homeowner wanting reassurance, a landlord meeting your legal obligations, or a buyer commissioning a pre-purchase check, we approach every inspection with the same level of care.
Putney has a wide mix of housing stock, from Victorian terraces and period conversions to newer riverside apartments. Older properties in particular can carry wiring that was installed to standards no longer considered safe, and faults in those systems are not always visible without a formal inspection.
Safety. A thorough inspection identifies deteriorated insulation, overloaded circuits, inadequate earthing and other conditions that can cause fires or electric shock. Catching these early means repairs are straightforward rather than urgent.
Compliance. Private landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR for each tenancy and to provide a copy to tenants and the local authority on request. Many buildings insurers also require a current certificate as a condition of cover.
Peace of mind. Knowing your electrical installation has been assessed by a qualified, independent electrician removes uncertainty, particularly if you have recently purchased a property or taken on a rental that has changed hands.
We’ve helped with a number of amazing projects. Check them out below.
We follow a consistent, five-stage process for every EICR we carry out in Putney.
Initial assessment. Before work begins, one of our electricians reviews the property layout and the age of the installation to understand the scope of the inspection and agree a convenient time with you.
Visual inspection. We examine your consumer unit, wiring routes, sockets, switches, light fittings and any fixed electrical equipment for signs of damage, deterioration or non-compliant installation.
Testing. Using calibrated test instruments, we carry out the full schedule of tests required under BS 7671, including insulation resistance, earth continuity and RCD operation checks.
Report. We produce a clear written EICR that records every circuit tested, any observations or code-rated deficiencies, and our recommended remedial actions. We talk you through the findings before we leave.
Certificate. Where the installation meets the required standard, we issue your EICR certificate. If remedial work is needed, we can advise on next steps and, where appropriate, carry out the repairs ourselves.
We know that having electricians working through your home is not something most people look forward to. Our team works quietly and tidily, protecting floors and surfaces and keeping disturbance to a minimum.
For a typical three or four bedroom house in Putney, an EICR inspection takes between three and four hours, though this depends on the age and complexity of the installation. We will give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
If the inspection reveals faults that need attention, we will explain what each one means in plain terms, the level of risk it represents and the options available to you before any additional work is agreed.

For most three or four bedroom houses, allow between three and four hours. The exact time depends on the age of the wiring, the number of circuits and the condition of the installation. We will give you a realistic estimate when you book.
For owner-occupied homes, every ten years is the general recommendation, or when you sell or significantly extend the property. For rental properties in England, the legal maximum interval is five years, or at each new tenancy if that falls sooner.
C1 means a danger is present and requires immediate action. C2 means there is a potential danger that should be addressed as soon as possible. C3 means an improvement is recommended but the installation can still be used safely. Our electricians will explain any codes found during your inspection and what remedial work, if any, is required.
