What to expect from an EICR in East Ham
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
East Ham Central is the census neighbourhood used for this page, and 41% of its homes have three bedrooms, against 30% across London. Most are houses, and council tax records date 72% of homes to before 1919. In a house of that age the original wiring is long gone. What remains is usually a mix: a rewire done decades ago, a consumer unit replaced since, and newer circuits for a kitchen, a shower or a rear extension. The EICR checks each of those and how they connect to the earthing and bonding.
Private renting is the standout figure: 45% of households rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London. Where a whole house is let, everything it supplies is part of the EICR, from a loft bedroom to an outside light. Older houses also deserve a look at how they are earthed. In some, the earth still comes from the metal sheath of the supply cable rather than a newer arrangement, and the electrician measures whether it is effective. Where gas and water pipes enter, the report records whether bonding to them falls short of the current standard and codes it by risk.
Within 300 m of the centre of East Ham stand 8 listed buildings. The Newham Council Offices are grade II*. The Former Fire Station and the Public Library are grade II. A listed building can be inspected without consent, though remedial work that alters historic fabric may need it. If you let one of the flats above shops or in other converted buildings, which make up 5% of homes here, find out where its meter sits and who can open the way to it. In a house, the meter is often under the stairs or in a front cupboard, so clear a path to it.
Booking a visit in East Ham
Getting in
Someone needs to let the electrician in. We need every room, the consumer unit and any loft, garage or outbuilding that has power.
Tenants
If the home is let, give us your tenant's name and number when you book and we'll agree the time with them directly.
Parking
If parking is restricted near the property, tell us when you book and whether a visitor permit is available.
Licensing and landlord rules in Newham
From Newham Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Newham licenses almost every privately rented home. Selective and additional licensing cover 22 of its 24 wards (all except Royal Victoria and Stratford Olympic Park), running to 31 May 2028 and 31 December 2027.
Around East Ham, most addresses are in East Ham and Wall End wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Newham states that an EICR is required every 5 years.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in East Ham
How much does an EICR cost in East Ham?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Newham?
Almost certainly, unless the home is in Royal Victoria or Stratford Olympic Park ward. Everywhere else in Newham, single-household lets need a selective licence and smaller shared homes need an additional licence.
I let a three-bedroom house in East Ham as an HMO. Does the EICR work differently?
The inspection is the same, but access matters more. Each bedroom's sockets, lighting and any fixed heater are part of the installation, so the electrician needs to get into every room, including any that are kept locked. Arrange keys with the occupants beforehand. The duties match any private let: an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so, and a copy to each tenant within 28 days.
How soon can you visit East Ham?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
