What to expect from an EICR in Brockley
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
Brockley West is the census neighbourhood used for this page, with 3,303 households, and 65% of its homes are flats. Council tax records date 22% of homes to 1919 to 1939, level with London, and 17% to 1973 to 1999, a little above London's 13%. Alongside them sits a large stock from before 1919. Homes from both of the older groups have usually been rewired, often in parts rather than all at once. The inspection looks at the consumer unit and its protection, whether any older cable survives, and the earthing and bonding to gas and water pipes.
Flats in converted houses and terraced houses each make up 24% of homes, against 11% and 21% across London. In a conversion, the flats often share one incoming supply and its earthing, with each flat's meter and consumer unit taken from it. The EICR confirms that your flat's earthing conductor is present and adequate, and that main bonding reaches the gas and water pipes where they enter your flat. Those connections can be disturbed when a house is divided or a kitchen moved, so they get close attention.
At 38% of households, social renting is well above London's 23%. If your flat is leasehold in a block run by a council or housing association, the freeholder may hold the keys to the meter cupboards, so ask early. In a converted house, the street door and any shared meter cupboard are the usual points to arrange. If you own the freehold too, the landlord supply can be inspected on the same visit. No buildings within 300 m of Brockley station are listed.

Licensing and landlord rules in Lewisham
From Lewisham Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Lewisham licenses shared homes across the borough until 4 April 2027, and single-household lets almost everywhere since 1 July 2024. The selective scheme covers every area except Telegraph Hill and a small part of Blackheath, so check the exact address with the council.
Lewisham asks for an EICR with selective licence applications.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in Brockley
How much does an EICR cost in Brockley?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Lewisham?
Almost certainly. Selective licensing covers all of Lewisham except Telegraph Hill and a small part of Blackheath until 1 July 2029, and smaller shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough.
My Brockley flat has had the same tenant for years. When is the next EICR due?
By the date on the current report, and never more than 5 years after the last inspection. The electrician may set a shorter interval if the installation needs it. A long tenancy doesn't change the cycle. When the new report is done, your existing tenant needs a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and any remedial work it requires must be finished within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
How soon can you visit Brockley?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
