Stratford has two electrical worlds. E20 and the blocks around the Olympic Park are almost entirely post-2012 apartments, from East Village onwards. E15 keeps the older Stratford: Victorian terraces around Maryland and West Ham Lane, shop conversions on the High Street and a large rental market feeding off the transport links.
The new stock is now old enough to misbehave. Developer-grade consumer units, bargain downlights fitted by the hundred and bathroom fans wired without isolators all start failing around the ten-year mark, and nuisance RCD tripping is the call we get most from E20. In E15 the work is more traditional: dated boards, part-modernised wiring and landlord certification.
Faults in post-Olympic apartments
New-build flats fail in predictable ways. RCDs trip because one appliance or fan is leaking current, LED drivers die in batches, and switches installed to a price stop working. We diagnose methodically and replace with better-grade components, so the same fault does not come back.
Leaseholder and managing agent work in E20
Most E20 blocks require contractors to book access and show insurance before working. We handle that admin as standard, and we keep the paperwork tidy for leaseholders who need to evidence works to their freeholder.
Landlord EICRs across a heavy rental market
A large share of Stratford flats are rented, and turnover is high. We provide EICRs with fast turnaround, complete remedials, and install or replace smoke and heat alarms so a flat is compliant before the next tenancy starts.
Older E15 terraces and conversions
Away from the Park, Maryland and the streets off West Ham Lane are classic Victorian terraces, many carrying older wiring and rewireable fuse boards. We quote partial and full rewires here, and plenty of single-day consumer unit upgrades.
