EC1 building stock — what we typically see
EC1 is overwhelmingly commercial/residential converted, with relatively new electrical infrastructure compared to inner-residential boroughs:
- Victorian warehouse conversions across Clerkenwell and Farringdon — typically converted in the 1990s-2010s. Many have three-phase commercial supplies that were partially converted to domestic — needs specialist EICR. Common job: replace 1990s consumer units with modern RCBO units.
- Edwardian and inter-war commercial buildings around Hatton Garden, Smithfield, Mount Pleasant — heritage commercial use, often Grade II listed. Current uses range from offices to restaurants to specialist trades (Hatton Garden jewellery).
- Late-Victorian mansion blocks — Bartholomew Close, Charterhouse Square. Shared services, mansion-block bonding scenarios.
- Modern new-build offices and residential — Aldersgate Street, the converted ex-City buildings around Barbican fringe.
