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.

EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Google Isabel De La PazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy with the cove lighting job that Rob and Liam recently completed for us. Their through-project communication was great, with Rob taking the time to answer any questions we had via phone and email. The team were onsite and ready to go exactly when they said they would be both days and talked us through next steps / took our requests on board. The finished product looks great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.Posted on Google Lizzy HalseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just completed a rewire with Rob and his team and have nothing but praise for them & their work. They are responsive, give great guidance while also working within your budget - and deliver high quality work on time. Highly recommend working with them!Posted on Google James PearsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak more highly of the service given by Rob. After local recommendations we used Wired and Wonderful to install an EV charger. They were friendly and efficient and carried out an excellent job. The installation was carried out by Liam who was skilled, courteous and helpful. I would not hesitate to use Rob's company again or to recommend them to others.Posted on Google Frank EllisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would highly recommend Wired and Wonderful. In our first interaction they gave us an expedited quote on Sunday. In our most recent interaction they judiciously attended to the snag list. Throughout we have had an excellent experience. Rob, Jamie, Adam and the team have been extremely accommodating, friendly, polite, professional and hardworking. My only hesitation in leaving this review is they might get too busy for when we want their services again in future!Posted on Google William MarksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob and the team did a full rewire of our house during an extensive renovation and they were fantastic. Everything was done to a very high quality and they were always great on advising on things where we needed their expertise. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google Raj PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently had a 10 panel, 10KW battery PV system installed by Wired and Wonderful (UK) Limited - a company very ably led by Robert Mackinlay. Although I had done a fair amount of research on the subject, I found that there were many gaps in my knowledge. Robert was so patient in explaining various options and didn’t hesitate to steer me away from making wrong decisions about system choices. From then on to the stage of supplying drawings for planning permission, clear quotes and later on an offer of precise timetable for installation was very professionally managed by Robert. Before the day of installation, a team of very polite scaffolders arrived and installed the necessary scaffolding in a matter of hours. They were very helpful and indeed acceded to requests for gutter cleaning etc. I can see that Robert has taken care to select his sub-contractors who are not only professionally competent but also polite and helpful. On the day of installation Robert and his team arrived at 07:30 and got straight to work. Two days later I had a fully functioning system. Not only that but within a few hours all of the regulatory paper work was cleared and I was able to register with the energy supplier to come off their standard variable tariff to that suitable for Solar Panels. I did not realise how much regulatory stuff that Robert has to deal with and the many agencies involved in the process. All that was done with no failures and with the requisite precision. I had expected weeks for the installation and days for follow up processes with energy supplier. From the point Robert’s van pulled up my drive to me being on the correct solar panel tariff with my energy supplier the total time taken was just under three days. That is indeed notable. All work was done to ahigh standard and no mess left behind. Robert did not shy away from wielding the broom himself. Throughout this period Robert explained each stage and constantly reassured me that all was going well. His work finished by his sending me a video of my roof panels so that I can see from the comfort of my arm chair all that has been done. This was followed by a pdf of the regulatory paper work all of which was also sent by mail. Robert left me with a feeling of high confidence that I was dealing with a professionally competent person who will not let me down. All in all, I do not hesitate at all in recommending Robert and his Wired and Wonderful team for Solar Panel installation work.Posted on Google Emma ClaytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful team at wired and wonderful. Communication great. Fitted a home charge point for my electric van. Thanks so much. Emma and Debbie.Posted on Google Sian BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys created my garden lighting and gave me great advice on what would work best to achieve the look I wanted. They were responsive, well-organised and timely. The other thing that struck me was the neat and tidy nature of their work leaving an overall high quality impression. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Angela BothaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Good solid work ethic and can do attitude. They totally came up with a plan when they ran into a problem while redoing my electrics for my studio. 5 stars. I wanted to add an update to this review. A month on, I had an issue with some of the lighting in my studio and emailed Rob. Within a week, a plan was made and the lighting was sorted, no charge. This is service, if you're still on the fence wondering if you should hire Rob and his team. Just go ahead and call them. You will not be sorry.Posted on Google Lisa SertinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service provided by the team was competitive in pricing, professional, courteous and worth all five stars I have given them!

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.
Yes. If the inspection identifies deficiencies, we can advise on the appropriate repairs and, in most cases, carry them out ourselves. Any additional work would be quoted separately before it goes ahead.
