Electrician Romford and Havering: EICR for Landlords

Havering is London's most easterly borough, with Romford at its centre and a mix of 1930s semis, post war estates, bungalows and newer flats around the town centre and the Elizabeth line stations. Lots of homes have drives and garages, and more and more are let. This page covers EICR certificates, consumer unit upgrades and EV chargers across the borough.

EICR for Havering landlords

Private landlords in England must have the electrics in a rented home inspected at least every five years and give a copy of the report to tenants. We test every circuit, check the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, and code anything found as C1, C2, C3 or FI. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day.

What we often find locally

• Older consumer units with no RCD protection, or a single RCD covering the whole house.
• Garages and outbuildings fed with cable that is not suitable for burying or running outside.
• Kitchen extensions and loft conversions added on to old circuits.
• Missing bonding to gas and water after a boiler or bathroom change.

EV chargers on Havering drives

With so many homes having off street parking, a home charge point is one of the most popular upgrades here. Before installing we check the supply, earthing and board, and upgrade the consumer unit where needed so the charger and the rest of the house pass on one certificate. If your board needs work first, see what affects the cost in our guide to fuse board replacement in London.
