Electrician Forest Gate and Manor Park: EICR for Landlords

Forest Gate and Manor Park, in the north of Newham, are made up mostly of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them converted into flats or let as shared houses, close to Wanstead Flats and the Elizabeth line. Landlord EICRs and licensing checks are the work we do most in E7 and E12.

Areas we cover

We work across Forest Gate, Woodgrange Park, Upton Park edge, Manor Park, Little Ilford, Plashet, East Ham north and the borders with Leytonstone, Ilford and Stratford, as part of our wider Newham coverage.

EICR for Newham landlords

Private landlords must have an EICR at least every five years and give a copy to tenants before they move in. Newham runs property licensing for privately rented homes, and licence conditions usually ask for a current EICR and working smoke alarms. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day. Our landlord electrical checklist for a new tenancy covers the rest.

What we often find in E7 and E12

• Terraces split into flats with shared or unlabelled circuits.
• Old fuse boards in hallway cupboards with no RCD protection.
• Back extensions with kitchens on overloaded socket circuits.
• Smoke alarms that do not meet licence conditions.
• Electric showers fitted on undersized cable.

For shared houses, our guide to HMO licence electrical requirements in London explains what councils usually ask for.
