What to expect from an EICR in Woolwich
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. The neighbourhood data provides context; it cannot establish the condition of an individual property.
Charlton Riverside & Woolwich Dockyard, the census neighbourhood used here, is mostly flats, with 74% of homes in purpose-built blocks. The blocks span every period since 1945. Council tax records date 24% of homes to between 1945 and 1972, 35% to between 1973 and 1999 and 31% to 2000 or later, while only 7% predate 1919. For an EICR, the age of your block is a first guide, not an answer. A consumer unit may have been replaced or may be original, and only the inspection will show which, along with how far RCD protection reaches.
Heating is the standout. 32% of homes are heated by electricity alone, more than twice London's 13%, and 9% rely on communal or district heating, against 3%. With panel or storage heaters, the heating circuits carry some of the heaviest and longest loads in the flat, so their cables, protective devices and terminations get close attention. In a flat on communal heating, the plant belongs to the building, and your EICR covers only what is wired inside the flat, such as controls fed from your consumer unit.
Woolwich Town Hall is the only grade II* building among 9 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Woolwich. Woolwich Old Town Hall, the Public Library and the Magistrates Court are grade II. If your flat is in a listed building, remedial work that alters historic fabric can need consent. Social renting is high, at 42% of households against 23% across London. If you let a leasehold flat in a mixed block, the installation inside it is yours to inspect, and the communal electrics are the freeholder's.
Booking a visit in Woolwich
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
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 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.
Around Woolwich, most addresses are in Woolwich Arsenal, Woolwich Dockyard and Woolwich Common wards. The selective licensing boundary is defined by streets or older ward boundaries, so check the exact property on Royal Borough of Greenwich's address checker before deciding whether a selective licence is required. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
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.

My Woolwich flat has storage heaters on an off-peak supply. What does the EICR look at?
The fixed wiring that feeds them. Storage heaters usually run from a separate off-peak circuit, switched by the meter or a timer, and each heater has its own outlet. The electrician checks that circuit's protective device, whether the cable suits the load, and the heater outlets for loose or overheated connections. The heaters' internal parts are not covered. Electric heating does not mean there is no gas, so main bonding to any incoming gas and water pipes is still checked.
How soon can you visit Woolwich?
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.
