Serving Bromley BR1 and BR2 — NICEIC approved electricians for EICRs, rewires, consumer units, garden rooms and outbuildings, EV chargers and 24/7 emergencies. Same-day callbacks and fast local response.
T Phase Ltd is a NICEIC approved electrical contractor based on Montpelier Vale in Blackheath, a straightforward run south to Bromley. We work across BR1 and BR2 — the town centre and Bromley South, Sundridge Park and Plaistow, Bickley, Shortlands, Bromley Common and Hayes Lane, and out to the Downham and Whitefoot borders. EICRs, rewires, consumer unit upgrades, lighting, EV chargers and emergency call-outs, all carried out by City & Guilds qualified engineers and fully certified.
Bromley is where our work shifts from testing towards installing. Property is larger, more of it is owner-occupied, gardens and off-street parking are the norm, and the jobs follow: full rewires, board changes, garden rooms, outbuildings, external lighting and charge points rather than a steady flow of five-yearly certificates. It is also where circuit count stops tracking bedrooms, which is the single most useful thing to understand before asking anyone for a price.
Three stocks dominate. Late-Victorian and Edwardian villas around Bickley Park, Sundridge Avenue and Plaistow, often on generous plots and often extended more than once. Inter-war semis and detached houses across Bromley Common, Hayes Lane and the streets off Widmore Road. And town-centre flats and newer blocks around Bromley South and the Ravensbourne, which behave like any modern block — landlord's supplies, communal lighting, lifts and car park distribution, all of which need their own report.
On the bigger Bickley, Shortlands and Sundridge Park properties we quote on circuit count rather than on bedrooms, because bedrooms stop being a useful proxy at this size. A five-bedroom house here routinely carries garden and driveway lighting, a garage, a garden room or home office on its own submain, an annexe, alarm and CCTV, underfloor heating, a pool or hot tub supply and now a charge point. Twenty-plus circuits is normal, and a second consumer unit fed from the first is common.
Every one of those circuits has to be tested individually, so the time on site — and therefore the price — follows the circuit count, not the floor plan. We ask how many boards there are and what is in the garden when you enquire, and we give you the figure before we attend rather than adjusting it afterwards.
Bromley produces more outbuilding work than anywhere else we cover, and it also produces the most consistent outbuilding findings. A garden room or converted garage is a separate building fed by a submain, and the recurring problems are the same: a cable of the wrong size or type for the length of the run, no dedicated means of isolation at the outbuilding, no RCD protection on the submain, and an earthing arrangement that was never reconsidered when the supply left the house.
That last point matters more than it sounds. Where the property is on a PME supply, taking an earth out to a detached structure needs thinking about properly — in many cases the outbuilding wants its own earth electrode rather than an extension of the house's earth. It is not difficult work, but it is the thing most often got wrong by whoever built the garden room, and it is the reason an otherwise sound installation fails its report.
Off-street parking is the norm here, so charge point installation is straightforward far more often than not. The two questions that decide it are earthing and capacity. Most Bromley properties are on a PME supply, and an outdoor charge point on a PME earth needs either a separate earth electrode or a unit with built-in detection of a broken supply neutral — most modern chargers have that, but not all, and the unit chosen decides whether a rod goes in. Capacity is the second: a 7 kW charger on a house that already runs an electric shower, an oven, underfloor heating and a garden room may need load management or a supply upgrade from the network operator. We establish both before quoting.
Around Bromley South and the town centre the work is block work, and the landlord's installation is the part most often missed. Lifts, corridor and external lighting, car park lighting and ventilation, booster pumps, smoke vents and door entry sit on a landlord's supply that is a separate installation from any flat inside the building, and it needs its own report. On a larger block there are frequently more landlord's boards than the managing agent's records show. We price those per board at £165 rather than trying to fit them onto a domestic ladder, and we tell you how many there actually are before we start.
The Downham and Whitefoot estates straddle the boundary between the London Borough of Bromley and the London Borough of Lewisham, and the line runs through the middle of them — neighbours on the same street are sometimes in different boroughs. It matters for consents and for the rules that apply to rented property. If you are on that edge, send us the full postcode and we will tell you which side you are on. Our Catford page covers the Lewisham side of the same estates.
Rented homes in England need a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years, with a copy to the tenant and to the local authority on request. From 1 November 2026 that requirement extends to existing social tenancies as well. Licensing requirements differ by borough and by ward, so the council's register is the place to check your address. Portfolios and blocks 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 rather than arriving piecemeal.
An EICR runs from £190 + VAT for a one-bedroom flat to £300 + VAT for a five-bedroom house, certificate included, with no call-out charge, no mileage and no parking recharge. Larger BR1 and BR2 houses are quoted on circuit count rather than bedrooms, and we confirm the figure before we attend. Communal areas and landlord's supplies are £165 per board. A consumer unit upgrade starts at £800 plus £50 per circuit. Full rewires run from £8,000 for a one-bedroom flat to £19,400 for a five-bedroom house, excluding plastering and decoration — on the larger Bickley and Shortlands properties we survey and quote individually. The pricing page has estimators, and the EICR cost guide and rewire cost guide set out how the figures are built up.

No. BR1 and BR2 are inside our standard area — we are based on Montpelier Vale in Blackheath and work in Bromley regularly. Prices are the same as everywhere else in our standard coverage.
Because on the larger Bickley, Shortlands and Sundridge Park properties bedrooms stop predicting the size of the job. Garden and driveway lighting, a garage, a garden room or home office on its own submain, an annexe, alarm and CCTV, underfloor heating and a charge point can take a five-bedroom house past twenty circuits, often with a second consumer unit fed from the first. Every circuit is tested individually, so the time and the price follow the circuit count.
Almost always the submain. A garden room or converted garage is a separate building fed from the house, and the recurring findings are a cable of the wrong size or type for the length of the run, no dedicated means of isolation at the outbuilding, no RCD protection on the submain, and an earthing arrangement that was never reconsidered when the supply left the house. On a PME supply the outbuilding often needs its own earth electrode rather than an extension of the house earth.
It depends on the charger. Most Bromley properties are on a PME supply, where the supply neutral and earth are combined. An outdoor charge point on a PME earth needs either a separate earth electrode or a unit that detects a broken supply neutral and disconnects — most modern chargers have that built in, but not all, and the unit chosen decides it. Capacity is the second question: a 7 kW charger on a house already running a shower, an oven, underfloor heating and a garden room may need load management or a supply upgrade.
Yes. The landlord's installation — lifts, corridor and external lighting, car park lighting and ventilation, booster pumps, smoke vents, door entry — is a separate installation from any flat inside the building and needs its own report. On a larger town-centre block there are frequently more landlord's boards than the managing agent's records show, and all of them belong on it.
It depends on the street, and sometimes on which end of the street. The Downham and Whitefoot estates straddle the Bromley–Lewisham boundary and the line runs through the middle of them, so neighbours can be in different boroughs. Send us the full postcode and we will tell you which side you are on.
A report is unsatisfactory if it contains any C1, C2 or FI code — one C2 fails the whole report. 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.
We offer 24/7 emergency call-out and same-day callbacks across BR1 and BR2. Fast-track booking within 48 hours is £50, and evening, weekend or bank holiday attendance is charged at 1.5 times the standard rate.
