Hi
I’m looking for a reliable EICR registered electrician in south west London area. Any recommendations?
Many thanks
@Keith get a registered/qualified electrician not a company ‘specializing’ in eicrs.
Good luck
Did you find any? Do you mind me asking if they issued you an EICR valid for next 5 years or just until next tenancy?
Any competent electrician should be able to do you an EICR. Let them know in advance that, as long as everything passes, you need a cert with 5 year validity.

It would be odd to give ‘to the next tenancy’ - how does the electrician guess if t hat is 6 m or 5 years hence?
From elec.training
“Standard recommendations: Rental properties: 5 years (legally required in England, Wales, Scotland). Homeowner properties: 10 years. Commercial premises: 5 years. High-risk premises (swimming pools, construction sites): 1-3 years. HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation): 5 years.
However, the inspector can recommend a shorter interval if they identify concerns. If your property has very old wiring, evidence of DIY electrical work, or operates in a harsh environment (high moisture, vibration, heavy use), they might recommend re-inspection in 1-2 years. “
Best
