EICR Compliance in Havering

Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords in Havering must have an EICR carried out every 5 years by a qualified electrician. Havering Council requires compliance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). Our qualified electricians are experienced with the suburban semis and post-war housing typical of Havering, including period properties that may have older wiring requiring careful inspection. Havering Council operates selective licensing in designated wards. The borough's large stock of post-war housing and suburban semis means EPC assessments focus on cavity wall insulation and boiler efficiency rather than period building challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need an EICR for a rental property?

Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR carried out at least every 5 years. You must also provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.

What do the codes on an EICR mean?

C1 indicates danger present and requires immediate remedial work. C2 means potentially dangerous and should be addressed urgently. C3 is an improvement recommendation. FI means further investigation is required. Any C1 or C2 codes must be remedied within 28 days.

What standard is the inspection carried out to?

Our electricians inspect to BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations), which is the national standard for electrical installation safety in the UK. All engineers are registered and fully qualified.

How long does an EICR take?

A typical domestic EICR takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. The engineer will need access to all rooms, the consumer unit, and any outbuildings.
