EICR remedial work in Hackney
Fixed-price remedial work and consumer unit replacement on failed reports across E5, E8, E9, N1 and N16, from split terraces in Clapton to ex-council flats in Hoxton. Send the report from whoever inspected the property and we'll price it within the hour.
A board job carries no call-out charge. Your deposit holds the slot, and the balance falls due only once the work is done and certified, under our money-back guarantee.

What fails in Hackney housing stock
Rented homes in Hackney mostly fall into one of three kinds of building. Knowing which one yours is tells us a lot about the day before we arrive.
Victorian terraces split into flats
The streets around London Fields, Dalston, Clapton and Stoke Newington are lined with Victorian terraces, and a large share were divided into two or three flats long ago. The wiring was often extended floor by floor rather than replanned. Typical codes on these reports are a rewireable fuse board in the hall or under the stairs and no RCD protection on socket circuits. Main bonding to the gas and water pipes is often missing or too small. Conversions also throw up shared neutrals between circuits and lighting runs with no earth conductor, which an inspector will usually flag for further investigation.
Council-built and ex-council flats
Hackney has a lot of post-war estate housing, from Homerton and Hackney Downs to Hoxton and Woodberry Down, and many leasehold flats on those estates are now let privately. These flats commonly have a 1970s or 1980s board in a plastic enclosure, obsolete breakers, and a supply that comes up through a communal riser. The intake belongs to the block, so work on the meter tails or main isolator may need the estate's housing team or the network operator to agree a time.
Warehouse and loft conversions
Hackney Wick and the Shoreditch end of Hoxton have flats inside former workshops and factories. These are newer installations, but the reports still fail. Common reasons are damaged accessories, missing circuit labels, gaps in smoke alarm coverage or a board that pre-dates the current rules on RCD protection.
Much of Hackney is covered by controlled parking zones, and many flats sit up narrow shared staircases. We plan parking and access from the report and the address, so the day starts with tools on the job rather than circling for a bay.
Licensing in Hackney
Hackney Council runs selective licensing in 17 wards, including Dalston, Hackney Central, Homerton, London Fields and Stoke Newington, alongside additional and mandatory licensing for shared homes. The council's licensing page lists an electrical installation condition report among the documents needed for an application. A failed report with remedials outstanding is something to clear before you apply or renew. Check the council's current scheme for your ward.

Questions from Hackney landlords
My flat is on an estate. Do you need the housing team's permission?
Work inside your flat is yours to arrange. Anything at the communal intake, such as the main fuse or the cable into the riser, may need the estate's housing team or the network operator. We read the report for that first and tell you if a third party has to be booked, so the date we give you is one that holds.
I'm applying for a Hackney property licence. Does the report need to be satisfactory?
The council asks for an electrical installation condition report with a licence application, and its licence conditions cover electrical safety. If your report is unsatisfactory, the sensible order is to clear the remedials and send the satisfactory report with the application. Check the current requirements on the council's licensing pages.
The EICR was done by another company. Can you still price it?
Yes. We price from the report itself, whoever wrote it. Send the PDF and the written price covers each item on it, so you are comparing like for like.
Do you take on work from Hackney letting agents?
We do, for remedials and for inspections, on a single account. You get one invoice a month and the evidence filed property by property. The agents page has the details.
