EICR Certificates and Electrical Safety Services in New Addington
Has your New Addington EICR come back unsatisfactory with C1, C2 or FI codes? We inspect and test installations across CR0, explain the findings and provide a written quote for any remedial work, with the coded report emailed as a PDF. This is for private landlords, letting and managing agents, HMO landlords and housing associations, equally for homeowners buying or selling, leaseholders, small businesses and shops, and tenants checking their landlord's paperwork.
We're the electrical safety company New Addington owners can use for a single flat or one small shop just as readily as a whole portfolio. Managing rentals towards South Croydon too? Start with the reports you already hold so the work addresses what's actually outstanding.
Landlord Electrical Safety Packages
A rented maisonette needs its fixed wiring checked and its supplied appliances accounted for. Our landlord electrical safety package brings the EICR, including mains-wired smoke alarm circuits within the fixed installation, together with PAT testing of appliances you provide. We schedule those checks together and supply the report and appliance-testing documentation for your tenancy records.
The electrical installation condition report sits at the centre of that paperwork. Private rentals need inspection at least every five years, sooner where the report requires it. Book before renewal falls due, leaving room to resolve findings. An unsatisfactory result requires the necessary work within 28 days, or sooner if specified, followed by written confirmation for tenants and the local authority.
Failed EICR? Remedial Work for C1, C2 and FI Codes
An unsatisfactory report needs action against its observations, rather than another test that leaves the same defects untouched. With EICR remedial work, we explain the corrections, quote them separately and re-test the affected installation.
C1 means danger present and needs immediate attention; C2 identifies something potentially dangerous. FI calls for further investigation to establish what's wrong before the repair can be settled. In an older former-council house, missing protective devices may be part of that investigation, but the building's age doesn't decide its codes. Send the existing findings when arranging repairs. A satisfactory outcome depends on resolving the relevant defects and verifying the results, not simply replacing the paperwork.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
For a mid-century house with an outdated distribution board, a consumer unit upgrade may be the appropriate correction after testing. We check the existing circuits first, explain which protection they need and provide a separate upgrade quotation before replacement.
An RCD adds protection against certain earth-leakage faults. RCBOs provide individual circuit protection, helping a fault disconnect its own circuit without taking other circuits with it. Neither device repairs damaged cable. The replacement board and connected installation need verification against BS 7671, so don't choose a new unit on appearance alone. Arrange the assessment when your report identifies protection shortcomings; the findings determine the work and the testing needed afterwards.
EICR Certificates for Landlords and Homeowners
Arrange an EICR inspection before a rental renewal, property transaction or premises review leaves you needing evidence urgently. A qualified, insured electrician examines and tests your fixed wiring against BS 7671. You'll receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report showing the outcome: satisfactory where justified, or coded observations explaining the remedial requirements. It's an assessment of the installation, with findings you can act on.
HMO and Property Licence EICRs
For mandatory HMO licensing, additional licensing or an applicable selective scheme, the property licence EICR service checks the installation against the relevant electrical safety condition. We review what your licence requires, supply a coded report for the council's assessment and price necessary corrections in writing. Arrange this ahead of an application or renewal so unresolved findings don't leave your evidence incomplete.
Commercial EICR and Fixed-Wire Testing
For shops, offices, restaurants, schools and other business premises, commercial fixed-wire testing provides evidence for duty-holders and insurers under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. We plan testing around trading hours and issue the findings in a report. Arrange it around your premises' inspection schedule; higher-risk settings can need shorter intervals, so a domestic renewal cycle isn't a blanket rule.
We also provide 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 New Addington
The landlord electrical safety certificate New Addington rentals need should lead to clear decisions about defects. Our EICR testing separates observations from assumptions against BS 7671, useful if you're also managing a letting in Purley.
Council EICR Requests and Enforcement
Council asking for an EICR you can't produce? Usually the report is missing, expired, or remedial completion hasn't been evidenced. Treat this as a legal-deadline emergency: a council report request carries a seven-day limit, and penalties can apply per breach. Start with the notice and existing records, then arrange the inspection or corrections through our council EICR enforcement service.
Complete Property Power Loss
No electricity in the whole house? It could be a tripped RCD or failed main switch, but a network outage or supply-side fuse can look similar. Rule out the network first. If your main switch won't stay on, urgent investigation is needed; don't repeatedly reset it. Arrange whole-property power-loss fault finding to establish where the problem sits.
Flickering Lights and Repeated Bulb Failures
Lights keep flickering, or bulbs keep blowing? A loose connection may be responsible, although incompatible lamps and dimmers can cause similar trouble. Arrange prompt checks for an isolated fitting; flickering throughout the property, heat, buzzing or a smell needs urgent attention. Use our flickering-light investigation to identify the cause before buying more replacement bulbs.
Old Wiring and Rewire Decisions
Does your house need rewiring after a survey flagged old cables? Rubber insulation, unearthed lighting or incomplete earlier rewires may explain the concern. Usually you can plan the work after assessment, but active deterioration can mean urgent isolation or repair. Arrange an old-wiring assessment before committing to a full rewire; age alone doesn't settle the scope.
Want Clarity on Your EICR Findings?
Send us your existing report for a remedial quotation, explaining any tenancy deadline and whether the property is here or towards Coulsdon. We'll work through the observations with you and set out the proposed corrections in writing, so you can compare the scope before agreeing to repairs. If missing RCD protection is flagged, the decision should follow the findings rather than guesswork about your fuse box.

Local knowledge
Landlord Electrical Safety Rules and Housing Stock in New Addington
For a landlord EICR New Addington agents can file confidently, the assessment must cover the right installation. Croydon's additional HMO licensing is live locally; selective licensing doesn't cover New Addington North or New Addington South, so don't apply a nearby ward's rules to your address.
Council and Housing-Association Homes
New Addington estate includes flats and maisonettes, while Fieldway estate forms part of the area's substantial mid-century council housing stock. For privately rented former council homes, inspections remain due at least five-yearly under the 2020 rental regulations, regardless of whether a property needs licensing. We find across London that older housing needs an evidence-led repair decision: testing establishes whether ageing wiring remains serviceable or affected circuits need attention.
Purpose-Built Blocks and Landlord Supplies
Blocks within the New Addington estate also bring rising mains, landlord distribution boards and shared lighting into the inspection picture. An individual flat's report doesn't establish the condition of those separate communal supplies; their periodic BS 7671 assessments need their own scope. When comparing EICR testing proposals, check which installation each actually covers, especially where private ownership sits alongside landlord-managed common parts.
Rented Conversions, HMOs and Period Houses
Croydon's borough-wide additional scheme began on 25 September 2026 and covers smaller HMOs outside mandatory licensing, including three or four occupants forming at least two households. Larger HMOs with five or more occupants across two or more households already fall within the mandatory scheme. Confirm your precise address and letting arrangement with the council, then check the licence's EICR requirements before submission; C1/C2 findings or unresolved FI require action, while C3 identifies an improvement recommendation.
Shops, Offices and Other Commercial Premises
New Addington Leisure and Community Centre and Meridian High School illustrate the public-premises side of local inspection demand. Their fixed installations sit within EAWR 1989 duty-holder arrangements, with testing programmes appropriate to their use. For your own business, the practical lesson is to identify the supplies you're responsible for and arrange suitable periodic checks; a private tenancy's timetable isn't automatically appropriate.

EICR Testing Across New Addington and Nearby Areas
Arranging an EICR in New Addington can sit alongside checks at other addresses you manage, including nearby Croydon. We also cover Norbury, with the inspection scope agreed for each home or business rather than assumed from another property's report. For this area's dispersed rental stock, organise tenant access and identify which supply serves the premises before settling arrangements. Your booking details should distinguish a dwelling's wiring from any separately managed communal installation. That keeps landlord electrical safety records attached to the right address and responsibility. Have the previous observations ready if there are outstanding issues: they help explain what needs assessment, while BS 7671 testing establishes the present condition. Clear boundaries make competing proposals easier to compare.
EICR Questions from New Addington Landlords and Homeowners
Does my New Addington rental need a licence before I arrange testing?
No selective licence applies in either New Addington ward under Croydon's current designation. South Croydon is included, so requirements differ between addresses. Additional HMO licensing does apply locally to qualifying homes shared by three or four unrelated occupiers. For private lettings, the 2020 Regulations still require EICRs at intervals no longer than five years, regardless of licensing. Raise your tenancy arrangement when enquiring; that helps establish which electrical evidence you need.
What parking restrictions could affect an inspection visit in New Addington?
Croydon's controlled parking hours depend on the zone; entrance signs show the restrictions. For a visiting trade van, check those signs rather than assuming neighbouring streets have identical controls.
The council accepts bay-suspension requests by email and requires a minimum of 10 working days' notice, or 6 weeks for events. If a suspension is needed, discuss the intended inspection date early: that notice period needs allowing for before settling a booking.
Who should arrange checks on communal supplies in a Croydon Council block?
The council handles its blocks' shared electrical installations; in housing-association buildings, that responsibility belongs to the relevant association. As a leaseholder, you're responsible for electrics within your own flat. Communal lighting, rising mains and landlord boards belong to the landlord's inspection scope, with periodic checks against BS 7671.
Explain which supply needs assessing when requesting an appointment. Establishing responsibility first helps avoid paying for an inspection that doesn't cover the installation you meant.
Do you accept small jobs, and how much time should I allow?
Yes. We accept an individual rented flat, a small shop or a pre-sale check for your home, using the same booking approach as portfolio work. You don't need several properties to approach a New Addington EICR company.
Discuss the premises and access before setting aside time; a shop and a flat shouldn't automatically receive identical estimates. Raising those details during your enquiry helps you plan around the inspection.
What does EICR testing cost, and what paperwork will I receive?
We confirm your fixed inspection price before attendance; residential charges follow bedroom count, while commercial premises and HMOs need individual quotations. The EICR certificate New Addington landlords request records the tested installation's condition, including the outcome and coded findings. Any necessary repairs receive a separate written quotation, supplied without charge or obligation.
Ask what's included before choosing an appointment. You'll be comparing the assessment and its documentation, with proposed repair costs available separately for consideration.
