EICR in Islington: the local picture
Electrical inspections in Barnsbury terraces benefit from records of subdivision and later kitchen or basement alterations. Identify the dwelling supply and any separate landlord circuits before arranging the EICR. Clerkenwell conversions may need management access where intake equipment sits beside commercial services. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates inspection and agreed remedial work with the scope recorded for the correct premises. For a Highbury shared flat, arrange access to relevant rooms with all affected occupiers; front door access alone may not allow the electrical installation to be fully inspected.
What the rules say
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the report says so.
A copy goes to tenants within 28 days, and to the council within 7 days if it asks. Where the report shows remedial work is required (codes C1, C2 or FI), that work should be completed within 28 days or the shorter time stated, with written confirmation kept.
