What to expect from an EICR in Penge
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.
Penge East, the census area covering it, has relatively few purpose-built blocks: 21% of homes, about half London's 40%. Older houses take their place, whole or divided, with 30% of homes terraced houses and 19% flats in converted houses. Council tax records date most homes to before 1919 and only 8% to the years since 2000. The original installation of a house that old is long gone. What an EICR examines is the sequence of later work, from an earlier rewire to a recent kitchen or bathroom.
There are 6 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Penge, including the Church of St John the Evangelist, The White House and The Royal Naval Asylum, all grade II. High Street has listed buildings along it. Should the report call for remedial work in a listed building, the method matters. Surface trunking, reused cable routes or new chases each affect historic fabric differently, and some need listed building consent. The inspection itself needs none, because it is non-invasive.
In a converted flat, the useful details are where its meter and consumer unit are and who holds keys to the shared hall. For a house, mention any loft conversion, rear extension or outbuilding with power. Owner-occupiers make up 59% of households, against 45% across London. An EICR is a sensible check after buying an older house, before renovation work starts. It shows which circuits can be kept, which need attention and where RCD protection is missing, which helps a builder price the electrical side properly.
Booking a visit in Penge
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.
Around Penge, most addresses are in Penge & Cator and Crystal Palace & Anerley wards. Bromley Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. 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 Penge
How much does an EICR cost in Penge?
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.
Will an older Penge house need a full rewire after its EICR?
Not necessarily. An EICR does not recommend a rewire because of age alone. It codes what it finds, and many defects in older installations, such as missing RCD protection or a damaged accessory, are put right with targeted work. A rewire comes into question only where tests show the cables themselves deteriorating across many circuits. The report sets out each item, so you can see what is required and what is a recommendation.
How soon can you visit Penge?
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.
