Electrician Gants Hill and Seven Kings: EICR and EV Chargers

Gants Hill and Seven Kings, in the middle of Redbridge, are areas of 1930s semis and terraces, with larger family homes around Valentines Park and newer flats near Seven Kings station on the Elizabeth line. Many family houses here have big rear extensions and loft conversions, and many homes are let. This page covers EICRs, consumer units and EV chargers in IG2 and IG3.

Areas we cover

We work across Gants Hill, Seven Kings, Newbury Park, Goodmayes, Cranbrook, Valentines and the borders with Ilford, Barkingside and Chadwell Heath. Our posts on Ilford town centre and Barkingside and Hainault cover the neighbouring areas.

EICR for landlords and homeowners

Landlords must have an EICR at least every five years and give a copy to tenants before they move in. Redbridge runs property licensing for many privately rented homes, so check which scheme covers yours. Homeowners often book an EICR before an extension or a sale. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day.

Extensions and loft conversions

A large extension or loft room adds new circuits and new load. We check that each addition has its own protection, that the cable sizes suit what is plugged in, and that the consumer unit can cope. If it cannot, our guide on fuseboard replacement in London explains the options.

EV chargers on 1930s drives

Many semis here have a front drive, which makes a home charger an easy upgrade. We check the supply and earthing first and fit the charger where it suits your parking.

What we often find in IG2 and IG3

• Older consumer units with no RCD protection.
• Extensions and loft rooms wired on to original circuits.
• Garden rooms fed by extension leads.
• Electric showers on undersized cable.
