What to expect from an EICR in Stratford
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.
In Stratford Central, the census neighbourhood used for this page, terraced houses make up 22% of homes, about the London level, and most of the rest are flats in blocks. Council tax records show a broad spread of ages. 27% of homes were built before 1919, close to London's 29%, and 22% from 1973 to 1999, well above London's 13%. That range shapes the EICR. A terraced house from before 1919 has usually been rewired in stages. A block flat from 1973 to 1999 may keep a consumer unit with RCD protection on some circuits and not others.
Electric heating is the figure to note. Electricity is the only heating in 28% of homes, against 13% across London. Panel heaters, storage heaters and immersion heaters put long-running loads on their circuits, so the electrician checks the cables, connections and protective devices that feed them. Storage heaters often have their own off-peak circuit. Small homes are common as well, with 31% having one bedroom and 42% two. Private renting is high too, at 42% of households against 30% across London.
The Theatre Royal, grade II*, is one of 12 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Stratford. Others include West Ham Court House, the Church of St John the Evangelist and the King Edward VII Public House, all grade II. None of that holds up the visit, since an EICR is non-invasive. Consent comes in only afterwards, if a repair would chase cables into old plaster or move fittings in a listed building. In a block, the electrician also needs the flat's meter, which may be in a riser or intake room, so arrange the key beforehand.
Booking a visit in Stratford
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
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 Stratford, most addresses are in Stratford, West Ham and Maryland wards, all 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 Stratford
How much does an EICR cost in Stratford?
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.
My Stratford flat is heated by electricity alone. Is there still bonding to check?
Often, yes. Electric heating doesn't mean the building has no gas, and a flat may still have metal gas or water pipes entering it. Where it does, the electrician checks the main bonding that connects those pipes to the main earthing terminal. If there is no metal service pipe to bond, the report notes that. Any shortfall from the current standard is recorded and coded by risk.
How soon can you visit Stratford?
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.
Does an EICR for my flat cover the communal areas?
No. Your EICR covers the installation that serves your flat, from its consumer unit to its sockets, lights and fixed appliances. Hallway lighting, door entry and other communal circuits belong to the freeholder or managing agent, who arranges their own inspection.
