good communication fast service very nice to deal with good quality workmanship.
It was beyond a pleasure to work with Shahi Patel of Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd. Shahi Patel is very professional and knowledgeable. He always goes that extra mile to explain things in layman terms, which is extremely useful. I would highly recommend Shahi Patel, Surinder who manages all the administrative functions and Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd --- They are a brilliant team. Review from a super satisfied customer, Adrienne.
Great service from Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd. My shop shutter in IG11 kept tripping the fuse which also caused my security door mag‑lock to stop working. As a gold shop this was a serious security issue. Shashi arrived quickly, diagnosed the fault and repaired everything professionally. Very reliable and trustworthy electrician. Highly recommended
We’ve used Eco Tech Electrical Contractors several times now for different compliance jobs and they’ve been excellent every time. They carried out our EICR last year, then installed our fire alarm panel and emergency lighting, and most recently helped us with surge protection after we had issues with our machines and inverters. All the work has been completed to a very high standard, everything is explained clearly, and the service is always reliable and professional. Highly recommended for any commercial electrical or compliance work.
I had an excellent experience- booked in very last minute and they were able to accommodate me. The pricing was upfront and very reasonable with no hidden costs for extra circuits (as I've experienced before). The certificate was very quickly shared after the job was finished. Highly recommend.
Excellent service, they are really professional and very polite people. I was impressed.
Our Recently Completed Jobs
Commercial | Fire Risk Assessment | Grade A Detector | E18
During a Fire Risk Assessment for a commercial restaurant in E18, I identified a high‑risk issue: no smoke detector inside the electrical intake cupboard. I installed a Grade A detector to ensure early warning protection and advised the client on Wet Chemical extinguisher requirements.
EICR Safety Faults & Fuse Board Upgrade – Green Goo Leak Found (RM8)
During an Board Change in RM8, we found green sticky liquid leaking from an old upstairs ring circuit. This “green goo” forms when ageing PVC cable insulation breaks down and the plasticiser mixes with copper oxide. The degrading cable was isolated safely with Wago connectors and fully tested. We also discovered a light switch with no back box and a socket held by painters tape — both replaced properly. Another unsafe installation made safe, and a reminder of why regular inspections are essential.
Fuse Board Upgrade on TT System – Safety Faults Corrected DA4
Fuse board upgrade carried out on a TT system. The existing dual RCD board looked fine from outside, but the installation had multiple safety issues: single tails, oversized entry hole, wrong breaker sizes, no SPD, and the board was held by one screw that was penetrating the main earthing cable. Two additional 1‑way boards were also making the cupboard unsafe and messy. New RCBO consumer unit installed with SPD and full testing.
Grade A Fire Alarm Panel Installation & Commissioning in Dartford (Childcare Property)
We recently completed a Grade A fire alarm system installation and commissioning at a childcare rental property in Dartford, Kent. Because the building is used for childcare, the fire safety requirements were extremely strict. The client needed a fully compliant, reliable system that met BS 5839‑1 standards and satisfied all landlord and childcare fire‑safety obligations.
Scope of Work
As part of this project, we supplied and installed:
A new Grade A fire alarm control panel
A compliant manual call point at the entrance
Full system wiring using surface‑mounted trunking
Metal fire‑resistant clips installed every metre inside the trunking
Full testing, commissioning, and certification
4 emergency lights installed complimentary (client supplied the fittings)
Fuse Board Replacement After Failed EICR – Romford
We carried out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at a property in Romford. The installation failed due to several safety issues, including an outdated fuse board. To bring the system up to current standards, we replaced the old unit with a new, fully compliant consumer unit.
Challenges & How We Solved Them:
The first challenge was the extremely tight cupboard space, which left very little room to install a modern consumer unit. We don’t use basic dual‑RCD boards — we always provide customers with a higher‑quality solution. In this case, we installed a compact FuseBox consumer unit with Type A RCBOs and SPD, which fits neatly in restricted spaces and offers better protection and convenience for the customer. The second challenge was timing: the customer needed the work completed within 24 hours of the failed EICR. We prioritised the job immediately and completed the full replacement the same day, finishing around 8 PM to ensure the property was safe and compliant.
Grade D Mains Radio‑Linked Smoke & Heat Alarm System – 6‑Bedroom HMO in Dartford
We recently installed a Grade D mains‑powered, radio‑linked smoke and heat alarm system for a 6‑bedroom HMO application in Dartford, Kent. This system was required to meet HMO licensing fire‑safety standards, ensuring the property complies with local authority regulations and provides reliable protection for future tenants.
Because this was a full HMO conversion, the client needed a system that was:
- Fully compliant with BS 5839‑6
- Interlinked across all bedrooms and communal areas
- Mains‑powered with battery backup
- Radio‑linked to avoid unnecessary disruption
How We Installed the System
One major advantage on this project was that we found clean access from the roof, which allowed us to run cables neatly upstairs without using any surface trunking. We always aim to minimise trunking wherever possible to maintain a clean, professional finish.
The final installation included:
- Mains‑powered Grade D smoke alarms in all required rooms
- A heat alarm in the kitchen
- Full radio‑link interconnection
- Certification for HMO fire‑safety compliance
Challenges & How We Resolved Them:
Limited Loft Access Due to Flat Roof
The property had a flat roof, which meant we didn’t have full loft access.
Despite this, we managed to fish the cables through carefully, working methodically until we achieved the routes we needed. It took extra time and patience, but seeing the customer’s smile at the end
