EICR Requirements for Landlords in Plumstead

The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years. A copy of a satisfactory report must be provided to tenants when requested and to Royal Borough of Greenwich within 7 days if asked.

If the EICR is issued as unsatisfactory, remedial works must be completed within 28 days where required — or sooner where a C1 observation (immediate danger) is identified. Evidence of completed remediation must be provided to tenants and, where requested, to Royal Borough of Greenwich.

EICR Pro supports landlords across Royal Borough of Greenwich with the full process: inspection, clear reporting, and remedial work quotation where needed.

Local Property Insight

Common EICR Issues in Plumstead Properties

The property mix in Plumstead — including ex-council properties, Victorian terraces, HMO properties, rental flats — means inspectors commonly encounter a varied range of observations. The following are issues frequently identified during EICR inspections in the area.

Old consumer units in ex-council properties
Former local authority properties that have passed into private ownership can contain older installations reflecting the original build specification. Consumer unit condition and RCD coverage are common areas for observation.
Overloaded HMO circuits
HMO properties often have complex installation histories, with additions and alterations made by different tradespeople over time. Circuit separation, RCD coverage, and smoke alarm integration are areas that commonly generate observations.
Lack of RCD protection
Older consumer units without full RCD or RCBO protection are found in properties that have not been updated for many years. This does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous, but can result in a C2 classification depending on the inspection findings.
Insulation resistance faults
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.

EICR Services Across Plumstead

🏠
HMO Electrical Testing in Plumstead
HMOs in Plumstead may be subject to additional requirements beyond a standard EICR. Local authority and HMO licensing requirements from Royal Borough of Greenwich may include fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and smoke detector provision — which can sit outside the scope of a standard EICR. We recommend confirming specific requirements with your licensing authority.
🔌
Domestic EICRs for Older Rental Properties
A significant proportion of rental properties in Plumstead were built before current wiring regulations came into force. Older installations can accumulate alterations and additions over time. EICR Pro carries out thorough domestic inspections that document the installation's condition clearly without unnecessary jargon.
🔧
Remedial Works and Tenant Access
For tenanted properties in Plumstead, arranging follow-up remedial works after an unsatisfactory EICR requires careful coordination. EICR Pro is used to working around the practical realities of tenanted property access, and can carry out remedial work at times agreed with tenants.
After a Failed EICR

Remedial Works in Plumstead

If an EICR in Plumstead is issued as unsatisfactory, the landlord must arrange remedial works within 28 days where required — or sooner if a C1 immediate danger is identified on the report.

EICR Pro can provide a separate quotation for remedial works following an unsatisfactory inspection. On completion, we issue written confirmation of remediation — giving you the complete compliance paper trail in one place.

For tenanted properties in Plumstead, we understand the practicalities of arranging access and scheduling works around tenant occupation. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible for both landlord and tenant.

RCD Protection & Consumer Units

One of the most common reasons for an unsatisfactory EICR in Plumstead is the lack of adequate RCD or RCBO protection. An older consumer unit without full RCD coverage does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous — but depending on the overall inspection findings it may result in a C2 classification.

Upgrading to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO consumer unit can resolve multiple observations in a single job. EICR Pro can provide a clear quotation for consumer unit upgrades where inspection findings indicate this is the appropriate course of action.
