Fast, fixed-price Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, letting agents and homeowners across South-East London. Next-day appointments for sales and lettings.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, carried out against the BS 7671 wiring regulations. It looks for deterioration, damage, overloading and anything that could cause a shock or a fire, and it tells you in writing what — if anything — has to be put right.
T Phase Ltd is a NICEIC approved contractor based on Montpelier Vale in Blackheath. We carry out EICRs for landlords, letting agents, housing providers, homeowners and businesses across Blackheath, Greenwich, Lewisham, Eltham, Bromley and Bexley. Every inspection is carried out by a City & Guilds qualified engineer, and any remedial work that follows is handled by the same team.
An EICR is not a visual once-over. Much of it is dead testing, which is why the power has to go off for part of the visit. On a standard domestic property we:
Everything is recorded on a schedule of circuits and a schedule of test results, which form part of the certificate. That schedule is what makes the next inspection quicker and cheaper, so it is worth keeping.
Most domestic EICRs take two to four hours, depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits.
The power will be off for part of the visit. A significant share of the testing has to be carried out with the supply isolated, which is why an EICR cannot be done without interrupting the electrics. If someone is working from home, or there is a tenant with medical equipment or a freezer full of stock, tell us when you book so we can plan around it.
We need access to the consumer unit, the meter, and every room — including the loft hatch if there is a light or wiring up there. The certificate normally follows within 24 to 48 hours, and we can offer next-day appointments where a sale or a check-in is waiting on it.
Your report classifies anything found using standard codes. A report is only "satisfactory" if it contains no C1, C2 or FI items — a single C2 fails the whole report, however good the rest of the installation is.
An unsatisfactory result is common, and it is not a disaster. The findings that most often cause one are a consumer unit with no RCD protection, deteriorated rubber or lead cabling, and bonding that was never brought up to current standards — all of them typical of the age of the housing stock around here.
Remedial work is quoted as a separate fixed price, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Our own engineers carry it out and we re-issue the certificate once the work is done — you are not handed a list of faults and left to find a second trade.
You are of course free to have any qualified contractor do the remedials. If you would rather compare, the pricing page shows what a consumer unit upgrade costs, and there is a full guide to rewire costs in London for properties that need more than a board change.
A large share of our EICR work is booked in batches rather than one at a time — a letting agent's managed portfolio, a block of flats with communal landlord's supplies, or a housing provider working through a programme.
Booked together, properties in the same area can be scheduled on the same day or run of days, and the paperwork comes back as one set rather than dribbling in. Communal areas are priced per landlord's supply rather than per bedroom. If you are working through a programme, tell us the volume and the deadline and we will come back with a schedule.
We completed 2,306 jobs across 187 postcode districts in 2026, a substantial part of it programme work — the about page maps where.
The housing stock here shapes what we find far more than the postcode does. Around Blackheath and West Greenwich the Georgian and Victorian terraces have usually been extended, converted or partially rewired at some point, often more than once and often without the paperwork surviving. Those are the properties where the circuit count runs higher than the number of bedrooms suggests, and where a missing schedule adds time.
There is no call-out charge, no mileage and no parking recharge in our standard area, which runs from Blackheath out across Greenwich, Lewisham, Eltham, Bexley, Bromley and the surrounding postcodes. The Congestion Charge zone sits outside it.
Purpose-built flats around the Peninsula and through Lewisham tend to be the straightforward ones — six or eight circuits and a board fitted this century. In Eltham, Bromley and Bexley the 1930s semis dominate, and the recurring finding is a board that predates RCD protection: a property that looks perfectly sound and still produces an unsatisfactory report.
Our EICRs start from £190 + VAT with the certificate included, rising to £300 + VAT for a five-bedroom house. The exact price depends on the number of bedrooms, circuits and consumer units. Our EICR cost guide breaks it down in full and lets you price your own.
Two to four hours on site for most domestic properties, depending on size and circuit count. We issue the certificate within 24 to 48 hours, and can offer next-day appointments where a sale or check-in is waiting on it.
Yes, for part of the visit. Much of an EICR is dead testing, so the supply has to be isolated. Tell us when you book if someone is working from home or a tenant has medical equipment, and we will plan around it.
Yes, including the loft if there is a light or wiring up there, plus the consumer unit and the meter.
At least every five years for rented homes in England, with a copy supplied to the tenant and to the local authority on request. This now applies to social landlords as well as private ones — existing social tenancies must hold a valid report by 1 November 2026.
A report is unsatisfactory if it contains any C1, C2 or FI code. We explain what is needed, quote the remedial work as a separate fixed price, carry it out with our own engineers and re-issue the certificate. You are free to use any qualified contractor for the remedial work instead.
Yes. Portfolios and blocks are a large part of what we do. Properties booked together in the same area can be scheduled on the same day or run of days, and the certificates come back as one set. Tell us the volume and the deadline and we will come back with a schedule.
The price covers the inspection, the testing and the certificate. Fast-track booking within 48 hours is £50, and evening, weekend or bank holiday attendance is charged at 1.5 times the standard rate. Anything else is agreed with you in writing before we start.
Yes. The price covers the inspection, the testing and the report, with no separate certificate fee.
Most of our EICRs are in Blackheath, Greenwich and Lewisham, though we cover the whole of South-East London and beyond — the about page maps the 2,306 jobs we completed in 2026. You can price your own inspection on the pricing page or read our full guide to what an EICR costs in London, and if the report comes back unsatisfactory we quote the remedials in-house. Landlords letting a furnished property usually pair an EICR with PAT testing on the same visit.
