EICR in Tower Hamlets: the local picture
Bow conversions and Poplar apartment blocks can both contain electrical supplies that are not obvious from the front door. Provide previous reports and identify the flat's consumer unit before an EICR appointment. Access to communal intake equipment may need separate approval, especially in managed developments around South Quay. Peachtree Maintenance organises inspection and any agreed remedial work, keeping the report specific to its stated scope. Commercial installations beneath Whitechapel flats should not be assumed to form part of the residential inspection without confirming responsibility.
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.
