Electrical work in Stratford

Stratford looks very different from most of the places we work. Around the Olympic Park and the station there are dense blocks of modern apartments, many bought as investments and let to tenants. Electrical work in a flat usually means respecting the building: shared risers, communal fire systems and managing agent rules. Many of these buildings were completed in the last fifteen years or so, but newer does not always mean problem free, and faults and poor workmanship can appear in any age of building.

We find that landlords here mostly want reliability. They need condition reports on schedule, quick attendance when a tenant reports a fault, and sensible advice about alarms and lighting inside the flat itself. We work neatly in occupied homes, coordinate access with agents where required, and send clear paperwork afterwards that can be filed straight away. Wherever a landlord holds several flats we are happy to plan visits together, which saves time for tenants and agents and keeps paperwork neatly grouped.

Homes and buildings in Stratford

Since the 2012 Olympic Games, Stratford has seen a huge amount of new apartment building around the Olympic Park and the Stratford City area, with many post-2012 flats now reaching the age when landlords arrange their first periodic inspections. Alongside these sit older Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the streets around Maryland and the Broadway, many of them split into flats or houses of multiple occupation. These older buildings often need rewiring, new consumer units and fire detection.
