What to expect from an EICR in Eltham
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.
Eltham South, the census neighbourhood used here, is split almost evenly: 51% of homes are flats, close to London's 54%. Council tax records place 28% of homes between the wars and 40% from 1945 to 1972, with only 8% built since 2000. Installations from those decades were designed for far fewer appliances than a household runs today, and many have been extended since. Kitchens and bathrooms refitted at different times can leave several generations of wiring in one home. The report pays attention to older consumer units, circuits without RCD protection, and earthing or bonding that falls short of the current standard.
Semi-detached houses are the most common type of house here, at 26% against 19% across London, and 10% of homes are detached, against 6%. Houses like these often gain a side or rear extension, a loft room or a garden office over the years. Each one adds circuits back to the consumer unit. Owner-occupation is high too, at 62% against 45%. A house let for the first time after years of family use can reveal older alterations at its first EICR. Examples include sockets added on spurs, or a kitchen refitted without any change to the consumer unit.
For a house, the useful details at booking are the bedroom count and any extension or loft room. Mention a second consumer unit too, for example in a garage. For a flat in one of the blocks from 1945 to 1972, say where the meter is and whether its cupboard is kept locked. Flats in converted houses make up 5% of homes here. Each usually has its own meter and consumer unit, and a landlord supply runs the shared hall lighting.

Licensing and landlord rules in Greenwich
From Royal Borough of Greenwich's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Greenwich licenses shared homes across the borough (1 January 2024 to 31 December 2028) and single-household lets in parts of Plumstead, Shooters Hill and Woolwich until 1 October 2027. A consultation on extending selective licensing to 18 wards closed on 12 October 2026, with a council decision expected around the end of 2026.
Greenwich asks for an EICR with HMO and 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 Eltham
How much does an EICR cost in Eltham?
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 Greenwich?
Shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in Greenwich. Single-household lets need a selective licence only in parts of Plumstead, Shooters Hill and Woolwich for now, though the council is considering extending that to 18 wards.
Does a listed building in Eltham need a different EICR?
No. The inspection and the report are the same as for any other home, and because an EICR is non-invasive it needs no listed building consent. The difference comes afterwards. If the report leads to remedial work that alters historic fabric, such as new cable routes chased into old walls, that work can need consent. Cliefden House, grade II*, and Eltham Library, grade II, are among the 7 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Eltham.
How soon can you visit Eltham?
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.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
