Certified Electrical Inspections
Need an Electrical Installation Condition Report? PowerArc's qualified electricians deliver fast, thorough EICR inspections for landlords, homeowners, and businesses.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a legal requirement for landlords and a critical safety measure for all property owners. Our qualified inspectors test every circuit, socket, and connection to identify potential hazards, ensuring your property meets the latest BS 7671 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. We provide clear, jargon-free reports with actionable recommendations.
Whether you're a landlord needing an urgent EICR before a tenancy renewal or a homeowner wanting peace of mind, PowerArc's local electricians are ready. We serve Romford, Hornchurch, Chigwell, Stratford, Wanstead, Woodford, and all surrounding areas. Our flexible scheduling includes evenings and weekends, so you never have to take a day off work. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and deliver your official certificate promptly—often within 24 hours of the inspection.
Our qualified electricians conduct a comprehensive visual inspection and a series of rigorous electrical tests on your property's fixed wiring. This includes checking the consumer unit, all circuits, sockets, light fittings, and earthing/bonding arrangements.
We test for overloaded circuits, damaged wiring, lack of earthing, potential fire risks, and any deviations from current safety standards. Each finding is coded (C1, C2, C3, or FI) so you know exactly what needs immediate attention versus what can be monitored.
Since April 2021, UK landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR for every tenanted property, renewed every 5 years. Non-compliance can result in fines up to £30,000. PowerArc understands the urgency and legal implications, delivering certificates that satisfy local authority requirements.
For commercial properties, regular EICR inspections are essential for insurance compliance, health & safety audits, and fire risk assessments. We work around your business hours to minimize disruption and provide detailed documentation for your records.
Every EICR carried out by PowerArc is performed by an qualified electrician who is fully qualified to issue official Electrical Installation Condition Reports. Our certifications are recognized by local authorities, letting agents, insurance providers, and mortgage lenders across the UK. We maintain active registrations with all major industry bodies to guarantee that every report we produce meets the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 mandate that landlords must ensure electrical installations are inspected and tested by a qualified person at intervals of no more than 5 years. Failure to comply can lead to penalties of up to £30,000 per breach. At PowerArc, we help landlords across East London stay compliant with efficient, affordable EICR inspections that protect both tenants and property investments
If our inspection identifies Code 1 (danger present) or Code 2 (potentially dangerous) issues, remedial work is required. PowerArc can carry out all necessary repairs and upgrades in-house, from rewiring faulty circuits to upgrading outdated consumer units. We then re-test and issue a satisfactory certificate, ensuring full compliance without the need for a separate contractor.
Commercial properties and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) have additional electrical safety obligations. PowerArc specializes in multi-unit inspections, providing bulk booking discounts for landlords and property management companies. Our team handles everything from single-unit flats to large HMO portfolios, delivering certificates on tight deadlines.
For rented properties, every 5 years or at each change of tenancy. For commercial premises, every 5 years is recommended. For owner-occupied homes, every 10 years is advised. Swimming pools and special installations require more frequent testing. PowerArc sets up reminders for our clients so you never miss a renewal deadline.
