Streatham's 1930s semis produce a distinctive EICR profile: the installation is usually safe enough to pass on the socket circuits, but the lighting circuits from the 1970s partial rewire have no earth, which is a C2 wherever there is a metal fitting or a metal switch plate. It is a cheap fix if the circuit can be re-run through the accessible loft void, which in these houses it usually can. The Streatham Hill mansion blocks are the opposite — flat-level installations are fine, and the observations are about original communal intake equipment.
The property types we see in Streatham
The 1930s semis around Streatham Vale and Furzedown are the defining stock — bay-fronted, cavity-walled, with generous loft space and accessible floor voids, which makes them the easiest properties on our patch to work in. Their weakness is the vintage of their last upgrade: a great many were partially rewired in the 1970s or early 80s, which means PVC cable that is genuinely old, wall-mounted fuse boxes of that era, and lighting circuits with no earth. Telford Park is larger Edwardian housing, much of it still whole houses. Streatham Hill has interwar mansion blocks with communal risers and, in several cases, original 1930s intake positions still in service.
What eicr certificate involves
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the inspection every rented property in England must have at least every five years. We test the installation, grade every issue C1, C2, C3 or FI, and give you a report your local authority will accept. A one-bedroom flat is £120 and takes about two hours.

- You let the property and the last EICR is approaching five years old
- You are taking on a new tenancy and need a certificate before move-in
- Your local authority or letting agent has asked for one
- You are buying and the survey flagged the electrics
- The property is an HMO and needs its report renewed
- You have had an 'unsatisfactory' report and need the remedials done

Getting to you in Streatham
Streatham is the furthest south we go and the response time reflects the run down the A23. Parking is markedly easier than the rest of the patch — much of SW16 is uncontrolled or lightly controlled, and most 1930s houses have a driveway, which makes van access simple and keeps costs down. The Streatham Hill mansion blocks need porter access for intake cupboards.
