We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Greenwich, Blackheath, Woolwich, Charlton, Kidbrooke and the surrounding SE postcodes. Reports issued the same day. Landlords, homebuyers and homeowners all catered for.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal assessment of the electrical installation in a property. A qualified electrician tests all circuits, checks the consumer unit, inspects wiring, sockets, switches and earthing, and produces a written report with any issues classified by severity.
The result is either Satisfactory (the installation is in good condition) or Unsatisfactory (there are faults that need to be addressed). Any faults are coded C1 (danger present — immediate action required), C2 (potentially dangerous) or C3 (improvement recommended). Landlords are legally required to act on C1 and C2 findings within 28 days.
Landlords: Since July 2020, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require all private landlords to have a valid EICR every 5 years, supply copies to tenants and carry out any remedial work within 28 days of the inspection.
Homebuyers: Your mortgage valuation won't include a proper electrical assessment. Before exchanging on any property in Greenwich — particularly the Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war housing common across SE10 and SE7 — an EICR will reveal whether the electrics need attention before you commit.
Homeowners: If your property has never been inspected, or not for more than ten years, an EICR gives you a clear picture of the condition of your installation and whether any updating is needed.
We confirm the fixed price before we attend — no surprises on the day. The certificate is delivered within 48 hours of the inspection.
Most standard 3–4 bedroom properties take between 2.5 and 4 hours. We can usually schedule a start time that allows you to have power for most of the day.
Yes, circuits are isolated one at a time for testing. We try to work through the property efficiently so the disruption is as brief as possible.
We'll explain exactly what needs to be done and quote a fixed price for the remedial works. Landlords have 28 days to carry out the work. We can often return within a few days to complete it.
