What to expect from an EICR in Lee
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.
Lee is also the name of the census neighbourhood used here, where 42% of homes are flats, against 54% across London. Council tax records spread the homes across several periods without one taking over: 33% before 1919, 27% between the wars, 18% from 1945 to 1972 and 19% from 1973 to 1999. Only 3% are from 2000 or later, against 18% across London. Few homes here were built when RCD protection was routine, so any RCD protection has most likely come with a later board. The EICR records which circuits are protected and which are not.
Terraced houses make up 33% of homes, against 21% across London, and 25% of homes have four or more bedrooms, against 18%. A house altered over many years can hold several generations of wiring, from an older lighting circuit to a recent kitchen. Lighting circuits in older houses sometimes have no protective earth conductor, which matters once metal light fittings or switches have been added. The report codes that by risk, along with any earthing or bonding that falls short of the current standard.
A few details save time on the day. Say whether the house has been extended or had its loft converted, and whether any outbuilding takes power from the house. In a flat converted from a house, which applies to 12% of homes here, note which meter and board belong to your flat. If the house is empty between lets, leave the power on and the consumer unit clear, so the electrician can test every circuit with the supply connected.

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 Lee
How much does an EICR cost in Lee?
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.
I live in my Lee house rather than letting it. Is an EICR worth having?
There is no legal duty for owner-occupiers, but an EICR is a useful check. It shows the condition of the installation, which circuits lack RCD protection and where earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard. That helps after buying, before a renovation, or before letting the house for the first time, when a report becomes a legal requirement. With 61% of households in Lee owning their home, it is a fair question.
How soon can you visit Lee?
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.
