What to expect from an EICR in Catford
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.
Catford Bridge is the census neighbourhood behind this page. It has 4,198 households, and 63% of its homes are flats. Council tax records show an old stock with a newer layer: 22% of homes date from 2000 or later, a little above London's 18%. Little was built in between, with 6% from 1919 to 1939, 7% from 1945 to 1972 and 10% from 1973 to 1999. An older home has usually been rewired in stages, so the EICR checks where old and new work meet. In a newer flat, the inspection is about condition, later changes and the extent of RCD protection.
Divided houses stand out. Flats in converted houses make up 23% of homes, against 11% across London, and one-bedroom homes 31%, against 21%. In an older conversion, the meters for every flat often sit together in one cupboard, which makes clear labelling important. Each flat's meter, isolator and consumer unit should be easy to match up. The electrician confirms which supply is yours before testing begins, and the report notes it if labels are missing or wrong, so the next person to work on the building isn't left guessing.
Arrangements depend on which kind of flat you have. In a newer building, the managing agent may hold the original installation certificate as well as the key to any meter room. In an older conversion, the street door and the shared meter cupboard are the points to sort out. Communal or district heating serves 7% of homes, against 3% across London, and where it does, the heating plant belongs to the building rather than your flat. There are 2 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Catford, including the Church of St Laurence and Community Centre, grade II.

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 Catford
How much does an EICR cost in Catford?
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.
Will the electrician need to go into the other flats in my Catford conversion?
No. The inspection covers your flat and the place where its supply comes in, which may be a shared meter cupboard. Testing means switching off your flat's supply for part of the visit, but where each flat has its own meter and consumer unit, the other flats usually stay on. If a circuit seems to serve another flat, the report records it rather than following it next door.
How soon can you visit Catford?
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.
