“Excellent and reliable service. The team genuinely went above and beyond to resolve the electrical issues as quickly as possible. They communicated clearly, arranged urgent remedial work at very short notice, and made every effort to help me meet my responsibilities as a landlord. Professional, responsive and extremely supportive throughout. I would highly recommend them.”

EICR certificates for London landlords
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) tests the fixed wiring and electrical installation in a rental property, the consumer unit (fuse box), circuits, sockets, light fittings, and earthing arrangements. Since 1 April 2021, all private landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR in place before any new tenancy begins, and renew it every five years.
London landlords face the same legal obligation as landlords elsewhere in England, but London's older housing stock, high HMO concentration, and diverse property types make choosing an experienced local electrician more important. Our NICEIC approved and NAPIT certified engineers work exclusively across London and the M25 area and are familiar with the specific challenges London properties present.
Legal requirement: The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require all private landlords to have a valid EICR and provide a copy to new tenants before they move in and to existing tenants within 28 days of a request. A local authority can impose a fine of up to £40,000 for non-compliance.

London property types, what to expect
London's housing stock is more varied and older than most UK cities. Our engineers understand the specific electrical characteristics of each property type and what to look for during the inspection.
Victorian terraces and conversions
Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Wandsworth
Pre-1900 properties often have wiring dating to a 1950s–1970s full rewire, which may be approaching the end of its service life. Common observations include inadequate earthing, absence of RCD protection, and older consumer unit types. Many Victorian terraces have been converted into flats, which can create shared incoming supply issues between units.
Edwardian terraces (1900–1918)
Ealing, Enfield, Haringey, Merton, Sutton
Similar in age to Victorian stock but typically more spacious. Edwardian conversions are common in outer London boroughs. Wiring characteristics are similar to Victorian properties, original rubber-insulated wiring is occasionally still found, which always produces a C1 or C2 code.
Ex-council flats
Barking, Brent, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets
Post-war council-built housing (1940s–1980s) often has non-standard consumer unit locations, minimal socket provision by modern standards, and older wiring. Many ex-council blocks are undergoing electrical upgrades, an EICR is often the trigger. Our engineers are familiar with the range of installation types across London's different housing estate eras.
Modern flats and new-build conversions
Canary Wharf, Nine Elms, Old Street, Stratford
Post-2000 and post-2010 new-build flats typically produce satisfactory EICRs with few observations. The main areas of attention are socket provision in open-plan layouts, shared risers in blocks, and EV charger circuit compatibility. These inspections are generally quicker than older properties.
HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation)
All London boroughs, particularly high density in inner London
HMOs are subject to stricter electrical requirements and are more likely to have been subject to ad-hoc alterations between tenancies. Our NICEIC and NAPIT certified engineers produce EICR reports specifically referencing HMO-relevant observations and are familiar with local authority HMO licence conditions across all 33 boroughs.
1960s–70s purpose-built flats
Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Havering, Hillingdon
System-built blocks from the 1960s and 1970s often have aluminium wiring rather than copper, which is still serviceable but must be noted in the report and assessed carefully. Consumer units in these properties often require upgrade. Our engineers are trained to assess these installations correctly.

What London landlords say
“I’ve now used this company four times and can honestly say they’ve been brilliant from start to finish.
I originally found them after being let down repeatedly by another company (to the point where I’m now having to take legal action), so I was understandably very nervous about using someone new. I’m so glad I chose them.
They’ve carried out EICRs, Fire Risk Assessments, a substantial package of follow-on fire safety works, and I’ve now booked them again for another Fire Risk Assessment, EICR and an Asbestos Management Survey.
Every member of the team has been incredibly responsive, professional and helpful. They’re always happy to answer questions, no matter how many you have, and they never make you feel like you’re a burden. Communication has been excellent throughout, which is something I really value.
On the larger follow-on works, they initially quoted two days to complete the job but actually finished it in just over one day, which was a fantastic surprise. Although I wasn’t present during the Fire Risk Assessment at one of the blocks, one of the directors there commented on how friendly and helpful their surveyor was. One of my own team members, who met him on site, said exactly the same.
Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of their work, their professionalism and how easy they are to deal with. They’ve gone above and beyond on every project we’ve given them, and they’ll continue to be my first choice for compliance work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
