Distinguish the dwelling from shared services
For Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Bow, the Isle of Dogs, Poplar or elsewhere in Tower Hamlets, provide the exact dwelling and building name in your EICR enquiry. If an electrical room is controlled by a managing agent, explain that arrangement. A domestic instruction must be clear about the home concerned and any separately managed shared installation.
Ask the authorised building contact about visitor procedures and electrical cupboard access before confirming a visit. Gather the previous report and certification for subsequent electrical work inside the dwelling. Where a landlord owns several flats, retain records against each unit rather than one building-wide folder with unclear scope. Council licensing information should be checked separately for the property.
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.

Review the report or record and any action required. Repairs, further investigation and repeat visits must be agreed separately.
EICR questions in Tower Hamlets
Can a managing agent’s common-parts report stand in for my flat EICR?
Do not assume that it can. Read the premises and installation scope and discuss the dwelling instruction separately.
Can several flats be included in one portfolio enquiry?
Yes. List the units and broad requirements so individual scope and access can be agreed.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
