Distinguish homes within a managed building
For Stratford, East Ham, West Ham, Canning Town, Forest Gate or elsewhere in Newham, identify the precise dwelling and any managed access requirements. If the meter or electrical cupboard is beyond a communal door, find out who can authorise entry. The home’s installation and shared building services should not be confused simply because they use the same entrance.
Have the earlier EICR and records of later electrical work available for review. If multiple properties are being instructed, list each unit separately and identify the contact responsible for its access. The council handles licensing requirements and enforcement for the relevant address; LPC’s booking and report are separate from those decisions.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Fixed wiring, not portable appliances.
An EICR records the condition of the fixed electrical installation within the agreed inspection scope. Discuss access, previous reports and any known alterations with the electrician.
The report may identify work or further investigation. Receiving a report does not mean the installation is satisfactory; follow the findings and agree any next steps separately.

Read the findings
Review the report or record and any action required. Repairs, further investigation and repeat visits must be agreed separately.
EICR questions in Newham
Can one document be assumed to cover every unit in a block?
No. Check the premises and installation described in the document and discuss the individual instruction.
Does the building manager need to know about the visit?
If they control relevant access or visitor arrangements, coordinate with them before the appointment.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
