What to expect from an EICR in West 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.
In Plaistow North, the census neighbourhood West Ham falls in, 29% of homes are terraced houses, against 21% across London, and 51% are flats in purpose-built blocks. Council tax records point to two waves of building. 33% of homes predate 1919, and 31% date from 1945 to 1972, well above London's 17%, with almost nothing from between the wars. Older terraces usually carry wiring renewed in stages. Flats from 1945 to 1972 may have older consumer units, with some circuits lacking RCD protection where the current standard expects it.
Bonding deserves a mention here. Where a home has a gas supply, the main bonding conductors link the incoming gas and water pipes to the main earthing terminal. In older houses these can be undersized, missing or disturbed by later plumbing work, and the report codes any shortfall by risk. Electric-only heating is uncommon, at 7% of homes against 13% across London. Social renting, by contrast, is high, at 42% of households against 23%. If you let a leasehold flat in a block with social tenants, the freeholder looks after the shared electrics.
Gas and electricity meters are the starting point for the bonding checks, so the electrician needs to reach both. In a terraced house they are often under the stairs or in a front cupboard. In a block they may be in a shared meter room behind a locked door. Mention any extension or loft room too, because each adds circuits to test. The Church of All Saints, grade I, is the only listed building within 300 m of the centre of West Ham. The count stops at 300 m, so confirm your own building's listing before any repairs.
Booking a visit in West 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 West Ham, most addresses are in West Ham and Stratford 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 West Ham
How much does an EICR cost in West 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.
My West Ham house has a gas boiler. Does the EICR check it?
No. The boiler is a gas appliance and needs its own gas safety check. The EICR covers the electrical side: the circuit and fused connection unit that usually feed the boiler, and the main bonding that connects the incoming gas pipe to the main earthing terminal. If that bonding is missing or inadequate, the report records it and codes it by risk.
How soon can you visit West 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.
