What to expect from an EICR in Upton Park
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 Plashet West, the ONS area covering Upton Park, terraced houses are the most common type of home, at 41% against 21% across London. Council tax records show only 5% of homes were built since 2000. Original wiring from before 1919 is long past its expected life, so nearly every older house here will have been rewired at least once, sometimes room by room. The EICR checks how newer and older circuits fit together. It also looks at whether earthing and the bonding to gas and water pipes fall short of the current standard, and codes any shortfall by risk.
Private renting stands out: 47% of households rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London. Many homes are family-sized, with 40% having three bedrooms, against 30% across London. A house that has gained a loft room or rear extension has extra circuits, sometimes on a second consumer unit, and all of them are inspected. Flats above shops or in other converted buildings make up 7% of homes, against 3% across London. Another 11% are flats in converted houses. In a conversion, each flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit, with the hall lights on a separate landlord supply.
A whole house needs the whole installation reached. The electrician needs every floor, the loft, the consumer unit and any garden building with power, so make sure locked rooms can be opened on the day. In a house let as an HMO, that includes each tenant's room. Where a flat sits above a shop, its meter may be in the shop, so arrange access with the shop owner in advance. There are no listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Upton Park. The count covers only that radius, so a listed home elsewhere in E13 still needs its status checked before repairs are planned.

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 Upton Park, most addresses are in Plaistow North, Green Street West and Boleyn 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 Upton Park
How much does an EICR cost in Upton Park?
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 flat above a shop in Upton Park. Is the shop's wiring part of my EICR?
No. Your EICR covers the installation that serves your flat, usually from its own meter and consumer unit. The shop normally has a separate supply and is the shop owner's responsibility. If your flat is fed from the shop's supply, shares a meter position, or can only be reached through the shop, tell us when you book, so the electrician can get to everything that needs testing.
How soon can you visit Upton Park?
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.
