Clapton FAQ

I have a 6-bed licensed HMO on Cazenove Road / Springfield area. What’s the annual electrical compliance pack?
Annual satisfactory EICR (£250–£350 inc VAT depending on circuit count and HMO size), PAT test of supplied appliances (£3–£5 per item), emergency lighting test/cert if escape routes are internal, fire-alarm certificate (Grade A or D depending on size). We do all of this in one visit to save you scheduling overhead.

I run a café on Chatsworth Road. EICR is overdue. How fast can you do it?
Usually within 48 hours, sometimes same-day. £300–£450 inc VAT for a typical café/coffee-shop EICR with full kitchen and equipment circuit inspection.

I have an old Wylex board on a Powerscroft Road terrace. Will it pass an EICR?
Almost certainly not — pre-1992 boards without RCD protection on final circuits fail under current standards. Best to budget for a board change before letting or selling.
