EICR Requirements for Landlords in Catford

Local Property Insight

Common EICR Issues in Catford Properties

The property mix in Catford — including rental flats, HMOs, ex-council properties, converted terraces — means inspectors commonly encounter a varied range of observations. The following are issues frequently identified during EICR inspections in the area.

Overloaded HMO circuits
HMO properties often have complex installation histories, with additions and alterations made by different tradespeople over time. Circuit separation, RCD coverage, and smoke alarm integration are areas that commonly generate observations.
Old plastic consumer units
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.
Lack of RCD protection
Older consumer units without full RCD or RCBO protection are found in properties that have not been updated for many years. This does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous, but can result in a C2 classification depending on the inspection findings.
Poorly documented circuits
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.

🏠
HMO Electrical Testing in Catford
HMOs in Catford may be subject to additional requirements beyond a standard EICR. Local authority and HMO licensing requirements from Lewisham Council may include fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and smoke detector provision — which can sit outside the scope of a standard EICR. We recommend confirming specific requirements with your licensing authority.

Remedial Works and Tenant Access
For tenanted properties in Catford, arranging follow-up remedial works after an unsatisfactory EICR requires careful coordination. EICR Pro is used to working around the practical realities of tenanted property access, and can carry out remedial work at times agreed with tenants.
Consumer Unit and RCD Upgrades
Many rental properties in Catford still contain older consumer units, including split-load boards with partial RCD protection or older rewireable fuse boards. A consumer unit upgrade to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO board can resolve multiple EICR observations in a single job.
After a Failed EICR

Remedial Works in Catford

If an EICR in Catford is issued as unsatisfactory, the landlord must arrange remedial works within 28 days where required — or sooner if a C1 immediate danger is identified on the report.

EICR Pro can provide a separate quotation for remedial works following an unsatisfactory inspection. On completion, we issue written confirmation of remediation — giving you the complete compliance paper trail in one place.

For tenanted properties in Catford, we understand the practicalities of arranging access and scheduling works around tenant occupation. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible for both landlord and tenant.

RCD Protection & Consumer Units

One of the most common reasons for an unsatisfactory EICR in Catford is the lack of adequate RCD or RCBO protection. An older consumer unit without full RCD coverage does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous — but depending on the overall inspection findings it may result in a C2 classification.

Upgrading to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO consumer unit can resolve multiple observations in a single job. EICR Pro can provide a clear quotation for consumer unit upgrades where inspection findings indicate this is the appropriate course of action.
