Electrician Holborn and Clerkenwell: EICR for Flats and Offices

Holborn and Clerkenwell sit on the edge of the City in Camden and Islington, with Georgian terraces, warehouse lofts, mansion blocks, council estates and plenty of offices, studios, restaurants and shops. That mix means a steady need for both landlord EICRs and commercial testing in WC1 and EC1.

Areas we cover

We work across Holborn, Bloomsbury, Lamb's Conduit Street, Clerkenwell, Farringdon, Exmouth Market, Angel edge, King's Cross edge and Hatton Garden, across Camden and Islington.

EICR for flats and lofts

Landlords must have an EICR at least every five years and give a copy to tenants before they move in. Loft conversions in old warehouses often have sub boards, long runs in conduit and a mix of old and new wiring, so we trace and label every circuit. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day.

Offices, studios and restaurants

Businesses here usually need their electrics tested every five years, and restaurants and busy kitchens often sooner. We can test early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends so trade is not affected. Our guide to EICRs for commercial units and shops explains the process.

What we often find

• Fit outs added by several tenants with no records.
• Older distribution boards with no RCD protection on socket circuits.
• Emergency lighting that has not been tested in shared buildings.
• Georgian houses with lighting circuits that have no earth.

For shared buildings, our guide to emergency lighting testing covers the annual test.
