EICR in Lambeth: the local picture
Electrical inspections around Brixton and Stockwell often involve flats adapted from larger houses, where later kitchens or extra rooms have changed the original circuit arrangement. An EICR should assess the installation as found, not assume that a recently decorated property has modern wiring. Confirm which consumer unit supplies each dwelling and whether communal circuits fall under a separate instruction. Peachtree Maintenance can coordinate tenant access, provide the report digitally and arrange separately authorised remedial work, preserving a clear record of findings and subsequent action.
What the rules say
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the report says so.
A copy goes to tenants within 28 days, and to the council within 7 days if it asks. Where the report shows remedial work is required (codes C1, C2 or FI), that work should be completed within 28 days or the shorter time stated, with written confirmation kept.
