What to expect from an EICR in Mottingham
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.
Mottingham is also the census neighbourhood used here, and only 25% of its homes are flats, against 54% across London. Three-bedroom homes make up 43%, against 30%. Council tax records show just 2% of homes built since 2000, against 18% across London. Houses from between the wars were built with modest installations, a few lighting and power circuits, and may have been rewired since. The question for an EICR is how well. It checks whether later circuits for kitchens, showers and lofts were connected properly, and records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard.
Houses from between the wars are what set Mottingham apart, and their wiring can carry traces of that age. Where a lighting circuit is old enough to lack an earth, metal fittings added later can become a hazard, and the report codes this by risk. Rubber-insulated cable, if any survives, is coded too, because its insulation breaks down with age. Social renting is above average, at 33% against 23% across London. If you let a former council house, the EICR duty sits with you, not the council.
Practical preparation is simple. The consumer unit in a terraced house is often under the stairs or by the front door, so clear the space around it. Mention any loft conversion, rear extension or second consumer unit at booking, as each adds testing time. If the house has a garden, check whether any outdoor sockets or lights run from the house. They are inspected with the rest, and outdoor sockets need RCD protection under the current standard.
Booking a visit in Mottingham
Getting in
Someone needs to let the electrician in. We need every room, the consumer unit and any loft, garage or outbuilding that has power.
Tenants
If the home is let, give us your tenant's name and number when you book and we'll agree the time with them directly.
Parking
If parking is restricted near the property, tell us when you book and whether a visitor permit is available.
Licensing and landlord rules in Bromley
From Bromley Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Bromley runs only mandatory HMO licensing for larger shared homes (5 or more people from 2 or more households). There is no additional or selective licensing in the borough.
On the Bromley side of Mottingham, addresses are mostly in Mottingham ward. Bromley Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Part of the area is in Greenwich: for Mottingham, Coldharbour & New Eltham ward, Greenwich's scheme is drawn street by street or on old ward lines, so check the address with the council. Part of the area is in Lewisham: for Grove Park ward, Lewisham's scheme is drawn street by street or on old ward lines, so check the address with the council. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
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 Mottingham
How much does an EICR cost in Mottingham?
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 Bromley?
Only if it's a larger HMO (5 or more people from 2 or more households). Bromley has no selective or additional licensing, but every rented home still needs a valid EICR.
My Mottingham house was built between the wars. What will the EICR look at?
The whole fixed installation, with particular attention to what has changed since it was built. The electrician checks the consumer unit and whether circuits have RCD protection where the current standard expects it, tests each circuit, and looks at the earthing and main bonding to gas and water pipes. Circuits added for a kitchen, shower or loft conversion are checked for safe connection. Each finding is coded C1, C2 or C3, or FI where more investigation is needed.
How soon can you visit Mottingham?
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.
