Certified Electricians London Ltd are fully qualified, NICEIC-registered professionals offering detailed and reliable electrical safety inspections throughout Hackney and the surrounding East London districts. Our Director and Head Electrician, David, grew up in East London and has over 20 years of practical experience working on, identifying and resolving electrical issues in Hackney’s wide range of properties, from Victorian townhouses in London Fields to refurbished apartments and mixed-use buildings across Dalston, Homerton and Clapton.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report, also known as a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, is a full assessment of your property’s fixed electrical system. Its purpose is to identify potential risks, deterioration, faults and non-compliances that might endanger those living or working in the property.

An EICR in Hackney E8 or E9 involves a detailed inspection of wiring, consumer units, sockets, lights, earthing and bonding, and any fixed electrical equipment. Only trained, insured and qualified electricians can undertake this type of safety test, as it requires in-depth knowledge and professional-grade equipment.

During your EICR, we carry out all required tests, including: earth measurement readings, bonding tests, continuity of CPC, ring continuity, insulation resistance, polarity checks, earth fault loop impedance, RCD performance tests and comprehensive visual assessments. With decades of combined experience, our team has inspected every style of Hackney property, from older rewired homes to modern developments.

Inspection times vary depending on the size and complexity of the installation. As a guide, a three-bedroom home in Hackney typically takes around three to four hours to complete. We offer clear, competitive and transparent pricing, which you’ll find listed at the bottom of this page. If you have a large or unusual property layout, feel free to contact us for a time estimate.

Electrical installations deteriorate naturally over time, so periodic inspections are essential. Recommended retest intervals are:

• Domestic Property: every 10 years
• Rented Houses: every 5 years (a legal requirement)
• Other Property Types: please enquire

For landlords in Hackney, a valid EICR must be obtained at least every five years and is a legal requirement for renting your property. Even if you are not renting, an EICR provides peace of mind by identifying problems before they escalate, helping you avoid expensive repairs, electrical faults or fire risks.

If you are buying or selling a property, an EICR is often requested to give clarity on the condition of the electrics. Additionally, in times of rising energy costs, an EICR can help identify ways to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
