EICR in Lewisham: the local picture
Brockley and Ladywell conversions can contain installations modified over several tenancies, with newer fittings connected to older circuits. An EICR needs access to the relevant consumer unit and inspection points, not just the visible sockets in communal rooms. Agree access with all affected residents and establish whether shared-area circuits require a separate instruction. Peachtree Maintenance can coordinate the inspection, return the report digitally and arrange authorised remedial work. Records should preserve the original findings and any later confirmation of repairs rather than imply that decoration demonstrates electrical safety.
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.
