EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) Newham

Ring 07456 975436 or email with the property address, approximate circuit count (or just a 'X-bed flat' description if you don't know), and tenant contact details. We cover every postcode in Newham across E6–7, E12–13, E15–16 with typical booking windows of 3-5 working days for standard domestic jobs, same-day for portfolio landlord contracts, and out-of-hours slots reserved for commercial sites where a daytime power-down would disrupt trading.

Yes — every Newham neighbourhood is inside our standard coverage area at the same fixed pricing. Stratford, East Ham and Forest Gate see a steady flow of EICR renewals every month. Covering homes near the Olympic Park, Westfield Stratford City, and the ExCeL exhibition centre. Our NICEIC registered electricians work across E6–7, E12–13, E15–16 with no postcode loading and no neighbourhood surcharge.

Fixed tiers apply across East London: 1-bed flat £120-£180, 2-bed £160-£220, 3-bed house £200-£280, 4-5 bed £280-£400. HMOs with 5 or more occupants £300-£500 depending on unit count. Small commercial (office, retail unit) from £350. All prices include VAT, the digital BS 7671 report, and a phone consultation on any findings before the report is finalised. Portfolio landlord contracts on 5+ Newham properties get a 10 per cent discount plus consolidated monthly invoicing.

Yes. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo hosts are treated as landlords under the Electrical Safety Standards 2020 because each booking is a short tenancy. Most London boroughs with Additional or Selective Licensing explicitly request a current EICR for short-let properties, and an increasing number of host platforms now require one as part of listing verification.

Under the Electrical Safety Regulations 2020 the landlord has 28 days from the date of the report to complete all C1, C2 and FI remedial work and obtain written confirmation from a qualified electrician that the work was carried out. The landlord must then provide that confirmation to the tenant within 28 days and to the local authority within 28 days of any request. In roughly seven out of ten C1 and C2 findings our electrician completes the fix from van-stock on the same visit.

C1 Danger Present means immediate action is required — typical examples include exposed live conductors, a consumer unit with no earth, or a cooker isolator with a burnt bus-bar. C2 Potentially Dangerous means the fault could cause injury under certain circumstances — missing RCD on a bathroom circuit, undersized tails, missing earth bond. C3 Improvement Recommended is advisory — older but serviceable consumer units, lack of RCD protection on circuits that do not currently require one. C1 and C2 both make the installation Unsatisfactory; C3 does not.

An EICR inspects the fixed electrical installation — the wiring, consumer unit, sockets and switches built into the building. A PAT test (Portable Appliance Test) inspects plug-in items like kettles, lamps, extension leads and printers. Landlords of HMOs and commercial premises usually need both; single-let private rentals usually just need the EICR plus reasonable assurance that any landlord-supplied appliance is safe.

Every 5 years for privately rented properties in England under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, or sooner if the inspecting electrician specifies a shorter review period on the report itself. HMOs under Additional Licensing are sometimes required every 5 years by the borough regardless of expiry, and at every change of tenancy where the borough licence conditions specify.
