What to expect from an EICR in East Dulwich
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.
In Dulwich Hill, the census neighbourhood behind this page, 64% of homes are flats, against 54% across London. Council tax records show only 7% of homes were built since 2000, against 18% across London. With so little recent building, RCD protection here has usually arrived with a replacement consumer unit rather than with the original wiring. Older wiring has often been renewed in parts, so the electrician tests each circuit rather than assuming one age for the whole home. Where earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard, the report records it and codes it by risk.
Conversions are what set the neighbourhood apart. Here, 27% of homes are flats in converted houses, over double the London share of 11%. A conversion usually gives each flat its own meter and consumer unit, while a landlord supply serves the hall lights, door entry and any fire alarm. Flats in the same house were often converted or refitted at different times. So one flat can have a recent consumer unit with wide RCD protection, and the flat below an older board with rewireable fuses. Two reports from the same building can read very differently for that reason.
The visit involves switching circuits off in turn, so the power will be off for spells while each one is tested. Anyone working from home, or relying on a freezer or medical equipment, should know in advance. In a house, mention any loft conversion, rear extension or garden room with power, since each adds circuits to the inspection. If the flat has had a replacement consumer unit, leave out the certificate issued at the time for the electrician to see.

Licensing and landlord rules in Southwark
From Southwark Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Southwark licenses shared homes across the borough until 1 March 2027, and single-household lets in 19 wards, from Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks to Peckham, Camberwell and Dulwich.
Around East Dulwich, most addresses are in Dulwich Hill and Goose Green wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Southwark asks for an electrical safety certificate with 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 East Dulwich
How much does an EICR cost in East Dulwich?
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 Southwark?
In most of Southwark, yes. Selective licensing covers 19 wards and smaller shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough (that scheme runs to 1 March 2027).
My East Dulwich flat's consumer unit is in the shared hallway. Is that a problem?
Not in itself. Many converted houses keep each flat's meter and consumer unit in the hallway or under the stairs, and the EICR inspects and tests it wherever it is. The electrician does need to reach it, because circuits are isolated there for testing. If it sits in a locked cupboard, arrange a key with the freeholder or managing agent before the visit, and tell us which board belongs to your flat.
How soon can you visit East Dulwich?
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.
