EICR Certificates and Electrical Safety Services in East Dulwich
Letting in East Dulwich means keeping a satisfactory EICR and checking Southwark's licensing requirements: Goose Green has selective licensing, alongside borough-wide additional HMO licensing. Book the inspection for your SE22 property and we'll email a coded PDF report, with a written remedial quote if faults need attention. We help private landlords, letting and managing agents, HMO landlords and housing associations, plus homeowners buying or selling, leaseholders, small businesses, shops and tenants checking their landlord's paperwork.
As an electrical safety company East Dulwich owners can turn to, we explain what you're paying for before attendance. A single flat or one small shop gets booked just like a whole portfolio, including properties in nearby Dulwich.
EICR Certificates for Landlords and Homeowners
Our EICR inspection service gives you an Electrical Installation Condition Report describing the wiring's condition, rather than a promised pass. A qualified, insured electrician inspects and tests the fixed installation against BS 7671, recording observations and anything requiring correction. That's particularly useful in East Dulwich's converted Victorian houses, where electrical alterations may come from different periods.
For private rentals, the inspection cycle mustn't exceed five years; an earlier date specified by the report takes priority. Arrange testing before renewal becomes overdue, or when buying or selling if you need evidence about the electrics. You'll receive the findings as an emailed PDF, with clear codes and a written quotation for any necessary remedials.
Landlord Electrical Safety Packages
If you're organising checks for a long-let shared house, coordinating access matters as much as collecting documents. Our landlord electrical package brings the EICR and PAT testing for supplied appliances together, with the resulting report and appliance-testing records for your tenancy paperwork. The fixed-installation inspection includes mains-wired smoke alarm circuits; appliance testing covers a different part of your responsibilities.
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require private rental inspections at least every five years. Book around that renewal cycle, allowing room for corrections. Where remedials are required, the deadline is 28 days or sooner if specified, followed by written confirmation to tenants and the local authority. A package doesn't turn an unsatisfactory result into a satisfactory report.
HMO and Property Licence EICRs
Preparing an application or renewal? Our licensing EICRs cover mandatory HMO licensing, additional schemes and selective licences. We check the licence's electrical safety condition, test the installation and provide a coded report for your council submission. You'll also have a written price for necessary corrections. Arrange this before the application deadline so outstanding electrical work doesn't become a paperwork bottleneck.
Failed EICR? Remedial Work for C1, C2 and FI Codes
An adverse report needs action matched to its codes. C1 means danger present; C2 means potentially dangerous; FI requires further investigation. With EICR remedial work, we assess the findings, quote for repairs or circuit corrections, then re-test the affected work. An updated report records the outcome; satisfactory status depends on resolving the relevant defects. C1 needs immediate attention; don't leave other required corrections until the deadline.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
An older board doesn't tell the whole story. Before recommending a consumer unit replacement, we test the existing circuits and explain why a modern RCD/RCBO board may be needed. RCD protection helps disconnect certain earth-leakage faults, but it won't repair damaged wiring. Book when inspection findings identify a board upgrade, with the scope and upgrade quotation settled before work starts.
Commercial EICR and Fixed-Wire Testing
Running a shop, office, restaurant or school means keeping electrical systems safe under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Our commercial fixed-wire inspections assess the permanent installation and produce the condition report duty-holders and insurers may request. We plan testing around trading hours. Arrange it against your premises' inspection schedule; higher-risk settings can need shorter intervals, so don't assume a domestic renewal cycle applies.
Also available: PAT testing, FI investigations and fault finding, rewiring, RCD and RCBO protection upgrades and earthing and bonding upgrades.

Electrical Safety Problems We Sort Out in East Dulwich
A landlord electrical safety certificate East Dulwich agents can rely on needs proper findings, but active faults shouldn't wait for routine EICR testing. For rented homes and trading premises around Peckham and Camberwell, these symptoms change the next step.
Burning Smells and Scorched Sockets
Burning smell from plug socket, or a socket scorched brown? A loose termination may be arcing; an overloaded adaptor or failing appliance plug could also be responsible. Treat this as a live fire risk. Isolate the circuit immediately if safe; if anything's smoking or alight, evacuate and summon the fire service first. Our burning-electrics guidance explains the next steps.
Whole-Property Power Loss
No electricity in whole house? A network outage or supply fuse might explain it, while a tripped RCD or failed main switch can point elsewhere. Rule out a network problem first. If the switch won't stay on, treat it as urgent, especially with vulnerable occupants. Follow the whole-property power-loss advice to establish who needs to investigate.
Unsatisfactory EICR Codes
EICR failed - what now? Observations against BS 7671 may involve bonding gaps or unsuitable earlier alterations. For rented premises, required remedials have a 28-day limit, shortened where the report specifies; C1 demands attention today. We explain the codes before quoting. Use the unsatisfactory-report route to move from unclear findings to a defined repair scope.
Flickering Lights and Repeated Bulb Failures
Lights keep flickering, or bulbs keep blowing? Loose connections can cause this, although incompatible LED lamps and dimmers may be responsible. Arrange investigation promptly. Whole-building flicker, heat, buzzing or an accompanying smell needs urgent attention rather than another bulb change. Start with the flickering-light checks; the pattern helps distinguish a fitting problem from a wider fault.
EICR Inspections: Where Does Your Property Stand?
Book an inspection to establish the condition of your East Dulwich rental or shop before deciding what needs replacing. Our EICR testing gives you recorded findings to compare with any proposed repairs, including for premises towards Peckham. If defects emerge, we'll explain their priority and provide a clear written remedial quotation, so you're choosing work on evidence rather than guessing from the age of a fuse box.

Local knowledge
Landlord Electrical Safety Rules and Housing Stock in East Dulwich
The landlord EICR East Dulwich owners need sits alongside an address-specific licensing check. Goose Green falls within Southwark's selective Designation 1; neighbouring Dulwich Hill and Peckham Rye fall under Designation 2. Confirm your property's ward and applicable scheme with the council, rather than assuming a district name settles it. Licensing paperwork and evidence against BS 7671 serve different purposes.
Rented Conversions, HMOs and Period Houses
East Dulwich's late-Victorian terraces and villas include converted flats and long-let shared accommodation, where partially renewed electrics can leave older circuits alongside newer fittings. Across London, we've found that this mixed history makes tracing alterations more useful than judging wiring by the appearance of switches. Southwark's additional scheme covers three- and four-person HMOs and qualifying section 257 converted flats, so establish the letting arrangement before choosing the inspection scope. Private tenancies need repeat inspections no more than five years apart, while findings determine whether bonding repairs, circuit work or a board replacement are necessary.
New-Build and Regeneration Schemes
The former Dulwich Hospital site on East Dulwich Grove combines a reused nineteenth-century building with newer NHS and school premises, including Tessa Jowell Health Centre and Charter School East Dulwich. That mix shows why a site's overall age can't settle its electrical inspection needs: older retained installations and recently installed circuits still need their condition assessed. For public-sector duty-holders, fixed-wire checks support workplace electrical duties across both. A building's new appearance doesn't substitute for inspection records or a schedule suited to its use.
Shops, Offices and Other Commercial Premises
Alleyn's School, a Dulwich school on Townley Road, has Victorian-onward buildings, while the Lordship Lane and Goose Green shopping district brings small shops and restaurants into the local testing picture. The school estate needs planned checks across installations of differing ages; commercial parades also require clarity about the premises covered by each inspection. Where flats sit above shops, establish the residential and business responsibilities without assuming who owns them or how supplies are arranged. Properly scoped landlord electrical safety records keep those obligations clear - a shop report shouldn't be treated as evidence for an untested flat.
EICR Testing Across East Dulwich and Nearby Areas
Arranging an EICR in East Dulwich can also involve nearby addresses. We cover Bermondsey, and landlords with properties in Camberwell can organise inspections there too.
Herne Hill (Southwark side) (SE24)
For a converted flat or shared house on Herne Hill's Southwark side, SE24, the useful starting point is its letting arrangement. We match the inspection scope to your property and check applicable licence conditions. That keeps landlord electrical safety focused on the actual accommodation, rather than assuming every dwelling within a converted building has identical responsibilities.
Sydenham Hill / Dulwich Wood
For houses and flats around Sydenham Hill / Dulwich Wood, supply your full address and postcode when arranging testing. The distinction between an owner-occupied home and rented accommodation affects the paperwork you need. We explain the recorded condition against BS 7671 and any recommended corrections, so your next decision rests on findings rather than the property's outward appearance.
EICR Questions from East Dulwich Landlords and Homeowners
Does my Goose Green rental need licensing paperwork as well as an EICR?
The electrical report doesn't replace a property licence. Goose Green is within selective Designation 1, Southwark's scheme introduced on 1 March 2022. Peckham ward has Designation 2 instead. Each licence includes an electrical safety condition; the 2020 Regulations impose a separate testing duty. For an EICR certificate East Dulwich landlords can use, identify the address and licence requirements before booking. That helps settle what documentation you'll need before an application is held up.
What should I check about parking before booking an East Dulwich inspection?
Southwark publishes a seven-day notice requirement for parking bay suspensions, except for emergency work. For a planned EICR, that notice period matters if a suspension is needed. It doesn't establish that a space will be available for the visiting van. Checking the published controls before choosing an inspection date gives you time to identify any parking constraint. It's better to raise access questions while scheduling than discover them on the day.
Will additional licensing affect my East Dulwich converted-flat inspection?
The borough-wide additional scheme in Southwark includes qualifying converted flats and HMOs occupied by three or four people. So the letting arrangement matters: describing somewhere simply as a flat doesn't settle its licensing position. For EICR testing, explain which accommodation needs inspection and provide the applicable licence conditions. We can check those requirements against the proposed scope. Clarifying this before attendance helps avoid commissioning a report that doesn't address the property you're responsible for.
Do you accept small jobs, including a single rented flat or shop?
Yes. We accept an individual rental flat, a small shop or a home you want checked before selling, on the same booking basis as a portfolio. You don't need multiple properties to justify an inspection. Tell us what the premises are used for and what prompted the check; that gives the booking a clear purpose. Getting the scope settled early makes comparing providers easier.
How is the price agreed, and what paperwork will I receive?
We confirm a fixed inspection price before attendance; commercial premises, HMOs and larger properties need individual quotations. Your report records the testing findings, observation codes and assessment against BS 7671. If corrections are needed, you'll receive a separate written remedial quotation, without charge or obligation. Inspection charges don't include those repairs. Ask what the inspection covers when comparing prices: a figure alone won't tell you whether competing proposals cover the same job.
Ready to Arrange Your East Dulwich EICR?
Call to book your inspection once you've compared the scope, documentation and price for your rental, home or business premises. As an East Dulwich EICR company also covering Dulwich, we'll confirm the testing charge before attendance and set out the findings afterwards. Any repairs identified receive their own written quotation, giving you a clear decision about the work required before proceeding.
