EICR Requirements for Landlords in Plaistow

Since the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 came into force, landlords have been legally required to ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years. Copies of the report must be provided to tenants on request and to the local authority within 7 days.

An unsatisfactory EICR — one containing C1 or C2 observations — requires the landlord to arrange and complete remedial works within 28 days where specified. Where an immediate danger (C1) is present, action is required without delay. Written evidence of completion must be provided to tenants.

EICR Pro supports landlords across London Borough of Newham with the full process: inspection, clear reporting, and remedial work quotation where needed.

Local Property Insight

Common EICR Issues in Plaistow Properties

The property mix in Plaistow — including Victorian terraces, HMOs, ex-council housing, rental flats — means inspectors commonly encounter a varied range of observations. The following are issues frequently identified during EICR inspections in the area.

HMO circuit issues
HMO properties often have complex installation histories, with additions and alterations made by different tradespeople over time. Circuit separation, RCD coverage, and smoke alarm integration are areas that commonly generate observations.
Old consumer units
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.
Lack of RCD
Older consumer units without full RCD or RCBO protection are found in properties that have not been updated for many years. This does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous, but can result in a C2 classification depending on the inspection findings.
Borrowed neutrals
This is a commonly identified issue in local properties. Where observations of this type are found, EICR Pro will clearly document the classification and — where remedial works are required — can provide a separate quotation for the works.

HMO Electrical Testing in Plaistow
HMOs in Plaistow may be subject to additional requirements beyond a standard EICR. Local authority and HMO licensing requirements from Newham Council may include fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and smoke detector provision — which can sit outside the scope of a standard EICR. We recommend confirming specific requirements with your licensing authority.
🔌
Domestic EICRs for Older Rental Properties
A significant proportion of rental properties in Plaistow were built before current wiring regulations came into force. Older installations can accumulate alterations and additions over time. EICR Pro carries out thorough domestic inspections that document the installation's condition clearly without unnecessary jargon.
Consumer Unit and RCD Upgrades
Many rental properties in Plaistow still contain older consumer units, including split-load boards with partial RCD protection or older rewireable fuse boards. A consumer unit upgrade to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO board can resolve multiple EICR observations in a single job.
After a Failed EICR

Remedial Works in Plaistow

If an EICR in Plaistow is issued as unsatisfactory, the landlord must arrange remedial works within 28 days where required — or sooner if a C1 immediate danger is identified on the report.

EICR Pro can provide a separate quotation for remedial works following an unsatisfactory inspection. On completion, we issue written confirmation of remediation — giving you the complete compliance paper trail in one place.

For tenanted properties in Plaistow, we understand the practicalities of arranging access and scheduling works around tenant occupation. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible for both landlord and tenant.

RCD Protection & Consumer Units

One of the most common reasons for an unsatisfactory EICR in Plaistow is the lack of adequate RCD or RCBO protection. An older consumer unit without full RCD coverage does not automatically mean the installation is dangerous — but depending on the overall inspection findings it may result in a C2 classification.

Upgrading to a modern dual RCD or full RCBO consumer unit can resolve multiple observations in a single job. EICR Pro can provide a clear quotation for consumer unit upgrades where inspection findings indicate this is the appropriate course of action.
