EICR Certificates and Electrical Safety Services in Bethnal Green
Has an old fuse box without RCD protection been flagged during a Bethnal Green viewing or on your report? We inspect and test fixed wiring across E2, email your coded report as a PDF and provide a written quotation for any necessary remedial work. We work with private landlords, letting and managing agents, HMO landlords and housing associations, as well as homeowners buying or selling, leaseholders, small businesses and shops, and tenants checking their landlord's paperwork.
As an electrical safety company Bethnal Green owners can turn to, we book a single flat or small shop just as readily as an entire portfolio, including around Globe Town.
Landlord Electrical Safety Packages
In a rented conversion, organising separate visits for fixed wiring and supplied appliances can complicate access. Our landlord electrical safety package brings the EICR and PAT testing together, with tenancy documentation for both. The fixed installation inspection includes mains-wired smoke alarm circuits; appliance testing covers the supplied portable equipment.
The Electrical Installation Condition Report is the centrepiece, recording observations and what needs attention. For private lets, schedule renewal at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Book ahead of that renewal so there's time to address findings, rather than discovering missing paperwork when an agent asks for it.
Failed EICR? Remedial Work for C1, C2 and FI Codes
An unsatisfactory report on an older flat needs a clear schedule, not a vague instruction to replace everything. We explain the observations, price the EICR remedial work in writing and test the corrected circuits. C1 means danger is present and needs immediate action; C2 identifies a potentially dangerous condition. FI calls for further investigation to establish what's wrong before deciding the repair. Missing RCD protection may require a protection upgrade, depending on the circuit and circumstances.
Arrange the follow-up promptly after receiving the report, with dangerous conditions made safe first. A satisfactory report can follow once those findings are resolved and re-testing confirms compliance with BS 7671.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
For a shop with an ageing distribution board, replacing the box starts with testing the circuits it supplies. Our consumer unit upgrade replaces unsuitable equipment with a modern board designed to current BS 7671 requirements, after checking the existing wiring. RCDs provide additional protection against earth-leakage faults. An RCBO gives each circuit its own protection, helping an individual fault disconnect that circuit rather than several together. Neither device repairs deteriorated cable insulation.
We set out the required work and its cost before you decide. Plan the change when inspection findings identify the need, allowing the isolation to be arranged around trading.
EICR Certificates for Landlords and Homeowners
Buying, selling or renewing rental paperwork? Our qualified, insured electricians inspect and test the fixed installation for an EICR certificate, assessing its condition against BS 7671. Your Electrical Installation Condition Report records a satisfactory result or coded observations requiring attention. Landlords, homeowners and commercial occupiers receive the findings by email as a PDF. Arrange testing before your paperwork deadline, rather than assuming a working socket proves its wiring is sound.
HMO and Property Licence EICRs
An HMO licence electrical safety condition needs evidence matching the property and application. We check the requirements of mandatory or additional HMO licensing, or any applicable selective licence, then carry out HMO and property licence EICRs with a coded report for council submission. You'll also receive a written remedial quote if corrections are needed. Arrange testing ahead of an application or renewal so unresolved observations don't hold up the paperwork.
Commercial EICR and Fixed-Wire Testing
Managing a shop, office, restaurant or school? Commercial EICR and fixed-wire testing gives you recorded findings on the installation, with inspection arranged around trading hours. It supports duty-holders' electrical safety responsibilities under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the evidence many insurers request. Book against the premises' inspection schedule; higher-risk settings can need shorter intervals. Any necessary corrections are identified so you can plan remedial work.
We also provide PAT testing, FI investigations and fault finding, rewiring, RCD and RCBO protection upgrades and earthing and bonding upgrades.

Electrical Safety Problems We Sort Out in Bethnal Green
A landlord electrical safety certificate Bethnal Green tenants have on file doesn't make a new fault safe. For shops and rented homes around Cambridge Heath, active symptoms take priority over routine EICR testing against BS 7671.
Burning Smells and Scorched Sockets
Burning smell from a plug socket, or a socket scorched brown? A loose connection may be overheating; an overloaded adaptor or faulty plug could also be responsible. If anything's smoking or alight, leave and dial 999 first. Isolate the circuit immediately if safe, and arrange urgent assessment of scorching or burning electrics.
Electric Shocks From Taps and Appliances
Got a shock from the tap or tingling from your washing machine? Missing bonding, an appliance fault or a supply-neutral problem could be making metalwork live. Treat even a slight tingle as an emergency: stop using it, isolate safely and seek immediate professional help for electric shocks from metalwork.
RCD Tripping Repeatedly
Trip switch keeps tripping? A faulty appliance, moisture or accumulated earth leakage across shared protection may be behind it. Arrange assessment today; if it won't reset or anything smells hot, treat that as an emergency and leave the affected circuit off. Don't keep resetting it: persistent RCD tripping needs investigation.
Older Fuse Boxes Without RCD Protection
Old fuse box - is it safe? Rewireable fuses usually point to an installation predating modern additional protection, and the wiring may need attention too. Plan an inspection before choosing upgrades; prioritise rented premises, a pending sale or warm accessories. Our guide to older fuse boxes explains what needs checking before spending on replacement.
Where Do Your Bethnal Green Electrics Stand?
Book EICR testing to understand the condition of your fixed wiring before deciding what to replace, particularly if you're weighing up an older rental in Cambridge Heath. Your inspection produces an emailed PDF with coded findings, followed by a clear written quote for any repairs it identifies, so you can compare the proposed work with the evidence and decide how to proceed.

Local knowledge
Landlord Electrical Safety Rules and Housing Stock in Bethnal Green
For a landlord EICR Bethnal Green agents can use, we start by identifying the installation: a flat's circuits, shared landlord supplies or both.
Council and Housing-Association Homes
Boundary Estate's heritage mansion blocks need remedial work that respects the conserved fabric; age alone doesn't tell you which wiring remains serviceable. Cranbrook Estate brings a different challenge: six towers from the 1960s, with ageing shared electrical installations and individual flats needing properly defined inspection scopes. Social-sector electrical safety duties are already live, including existing social tenancies from 1 May 2026, so council and housing-association landlords need current evidence rather than treating this as a future requirement. Private lets created through right-to-buy sales retain their separate obligations under the 2020 Regulations.
Purpose-Built Blocks and Landlord Supplies
Sivill House (Dorset Estate) is a listed 1960s high-rise where heritage constraints shape the approach to containment and board alterations. Periodic checks of landlord installations against BS 7671 sit alongside EICRs for tenanted flats; the report for a dwelling shouldn't be mistaken for evidence covering communal supplies. Across London, our experience with this stock is that clear boundaries prevent gaps in responsibility before repairs are scoped.
Rented Conversions, HMOs and Period Houses
Shared flats and converted terraces around Globe Town make licence paperwork a practical concern. Tower Hamlets' borough-wide additional HMO scheme runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029, with electrical-report conditions alongside the private-rented inspection duty. Mandatory HMO licences here last three years, so licence renewal can arrive before the usual five-year EICR renewal point. A C2 observation means potentially dangerous, C1 records present danger and FI requires investigation; those findings need resolving before a satisfactory report supports a licence application.
Shops, Offices and Other Commercial Premises
For a small shop near Cambridge Heath, EICR testing needs planning around access and trading rather than a domestic tenancy calendar. Duty-holders should use the premises' assessed inspection interval and arrange corrections when findings require them. An inspection timetable based on the premises beats assuming every business follows a domestic renewal date.

EICR Testing Across Bethnal Green and Nearby Areas
Arranging an EICR in Bethnal Green? We cover homes and business premises across the following neighbourhoods, with the inspection scope agreed for your address.
Globe Town
Globe Town's E2 mix includes rented flats and older blocks, making inspection boundaries a useful starting point. We'll clarify whether you're arranging checks inside a dwelling or for shared supplies. Coverage also extends to Bow, so landlords with addresses across both areas can discuss their requirements together.
Cambridge Heath
In Cambridge Heath, E2, converted homes and mixed-use premises call for attention to which circuits serve which space. Assessing circuits against BS 7671 helps establish what needs correction before you budget for alterations. A tenancy change is a sensible moment to review existing evidence and arrange any overdue inspection.
Shoreditch (Tower Hamlets side) (E2)
On the E2 side of Shoreditch in Tower Hamlets, homes and commercial premises need different inspection arrangements. For shops, we plan EICR testing around trading and explain the scope before attendance. We also cover Canary Wharf; a business installation needs a schedule suited to its use.
EICR Questions from Bethnal Green Landlords and Homeowners
Has selective licensing ending changed whether I need an EICR?
No - ending a licensing scheme doesn't remove private landlords' separate electrical inspection duties. The selective scheme covering Whitechapel, Weavers and Spitalfields & Banglatown ended on 30 September 2026; its coverage followed ward boundaries predating 22 May 2014. Don't assume it applied throughout Bethnal Green, or that its expiry settles your responsibilities. If you're comparing inspection options, establish which paperwork your letting needs before choosing a booking.
Which HMO scheme should I mention when arranging my inspection?
Mention whichever licence applies: Tower Hamlets has both mandatory licensing and an additional HMO scheme operating borough-wide. The additional scheme remains live, so selective licensing ending hasn't removed that separate requirement. We can check your licence's electrical conditions when discussing the inspection.
Have the licence details ready alongside any previous report; that gives the discussion a specific starting point and helps you commission the evidence you actually need.
What parking restrictions should I check before an EICR visit in Bethnal Green?
Check the zone's controlled parking hours first; they vary locally, and Tower Hamlets offers visiting trades a trade permit. Where a bay suspension is needed, the council requires at least seven working days' notice, with payment seven working days ahead. Larger or longer suspensions require ten days. Those are council controls, not an assurance of a parking space. Raising access constraints before selecting an appointment leaves time to discuss them.
Do you accept a single flat, a small shop or a check before selling?
Yes. We accept an individual rented flat, a modest shop premises or your own home before sale, using the same booking approach as for portfolio instructions. You don't need several properties to justify EICR testing. Homeowners aren't legally required to obtain an EICR simply because they own their home, but a planned inspection can clarify its electrical condition. Discussing the purpose early helps establish what you're commissioning.
How is the inspection priced, and what paperwork will I receive?
We confirm your fixed inspection charge before attendance; residential pricing follows bedroom count, while HMOs, business installations and larger properties need individual quotations. For the EICR certificate Bethnal Green agents request, you'll receive a coded report following inspection and testing against BS 7671.
Repairs aren't included: any remedial proposal comes with a written quotation, provided without charge or obligation. Comparing that scope before booking is more useful than comparing an unexplained headline price.
Ready to Arrange Your Bethnal Green EICR?
Call to arrange your EICR with details of the property, its use and any report you've already received. We'll confirm the testing price and scope, then provide coded findings and a written quote if remedial work is needed. For landlord electrical safety checks around Globe Town, this gives you the evidence to make decisions before a renewal or tenancy change adds pressure.
