EICR London: testing and repairs
Our EICR London service covers inspection, testing and reports for homes, rented properties and businesses, plus repairs when an installation needs attention. Tell us what you're arranging and why: a tenancy document, a purchase check or help with an unsatisfactory result.
We handle EICR testing and the remedial work it identifies, so you can understand the condition of your wiring and decide what happens next. A single flat or one small shop is booked in just the same as a whole portfolio. Private landlords, letting and managing agents, HMO owners and housing associations need usable records; homeowners buying or selling and leaseholders need clear answers too. Tenants checking their landlord's paperwork can also use this page to understand which service applies.
The inspection goes beyond looking inside the board. We assess the fixed installation against BS 7671, combining visual checks with electrical measurements and functional tests. Continuity testing checks that protective conductors and ring connections are complete. Insulation resistance testing helps identify deteriorating insulation that could allow current to leak. Those findings feed into your electrical installation condition report, with observations and an overall assessment.
Why does the scope matter? A converted house can contain circuits altered at different times, while communal landlord supplies in a purpose-built block have their own inspection arrangements. Across North London and Central London, the property type helps establish what needs including. It doesn't tell us the result before testing.
Business premises need an inspection suited to their installation, rather than a domestic assumption applied to a workplace. Our sample testing commercial installation service route helps you raise that scope when arranging commercial work.
Already holding an adverse report? The 28 day remedial deadline needs attention, and a shorter period specified by the inspector takes priority. We provide a free, no-obligation quote for the remedial work, separate from the inspection charge. Leaving the observations unread won't make the underlying defects disappear.
Electrical safety problems we fix in London
We separate urgent electrical fault repair from planned EICR testing. An electrical fault repair starts with tracing the cause; a PAT testing certificate records appliance checks and doesn't replace a fixed-wiring assessment.
Electric shocks from taps or switches
Got a shock from the tap, or tingling from your washing machine? Missing earthing, inadequate bonding or an appliance fault could leave metalwork live; a deteriorating network neutral is another possibility. This needs immediate attention. Isolate the supply if safe, avoid further contact and arrange urgent professional help for shocks or tingles.
Complete power loss
No electricity anywhere in your property? A tripped main device, failed connection or supply-side fault could explain it. Once a network outage is ruled out, a switch that won't stay on needs urgent investigation. Don't keep resetting it. Our whole-property power loss guidance explains the next step towards identifying the fault.
Tenancy and licence certificate deadlines
Need an electrical certificate for renting in East London? The inspection cycle may be due, or a licence application may require current evidence. Landlord electrical safety paperwork is date-bound, so allow time for defects to be corrected before your deadline. Start with the tenancy and licensing EICR route rather than leaving the appointment until renewal day.
Partial loss of sockets or lighting
Half your sockets aren't working, although other circuits still run? A tripped breaker or failed connection may be responsible, including in converted flats around South West London. Heat damage can develop at faulty joints, so seek assessment today. Use the partial power loss service to arrange fault tracing; an inspection booking alone won't resolve the symptom.
Local knowledge
London coverage and property checks
Arrange your assessment around the building's actual wiring and responsibilities. For your EICR in London, a converted flat can need a different scope from an HMO or a communal supply. East London, West London and South East London sit within our coverage; the details of your premises determine the work.
Victorian and Edwardian conversions can contain mixed-age circuits. Repeated RCD tripping or isolated dead sockets deserve investigation, rather than another reset. Where protection is inadequate, our additional protection sockets option addresses the installation after assessment against BS 7671.
In post-war purpose-built blocks, shared supplies need their own periodic checks. Keep emergency lighting testing distinct from a flat's report so the communal responsibilities aren't overlooked.
Licensing renewals and new selective or additional designations bring specific submission dates. Under the 2020 Regulations, C1 and C2 findings require correction within 28 days, or sooner where directed; danger present needs immediate action. An unsatisfactory result containing FI also needs investigation.
For private rentals, the five-year inspection clock follows the previous report, not a new tenancy agreement. Checking that date before changing occupants leaves room to address problems. A fresh tenancy doesn't reset ageing wiring or an approaching inspection deadline.
Electrical safety services across London
Choose the work your premises need, from EICR testing to targeted repairs. We cover South West London and North London.
EICR Certificate
Arrange an electrical test certificate assessment of fixed circuits against BS 7671, with recorded findings explaining the installation's condition.
Have supplied appliances inspected and tested, with records for landlords, offices and other workplaces that need evidence of equipment checks.
Combine landlord electrical safety checks of fixed wiring with appliance testing, including mains-wired smoke alarm circuits within the EICR inspection scope.
Trace unresolved observations and active faults, including tripping or dead circuits, so repairs address the cause behind the symptom.
Correct coded defects, re-test affected circuits and reissue the report as satisfactory only once the findings support that assessment.
Replace an unsuitable board with modern RCD or RCBO equipment where assessment establishes that an upgrade is needed for circuit protection.
Replace unsafe cabling through a full or partial rewire, with an Electrical Installation Certificate issued on completion of the work.
Arrange inspection for mandatory, selective or additional property licensing, with observations identifying electrical defects requiring attention before your application proceeds.
Assess workplace installations and document their condition, helping duty-holders evidence electrical maintenance responsibilities while planning testing around business use.
Address absent or inadequate residual-current protection identified during inspection, with the upgrade selected to suit the circuits and their use.
Earthing & Bonding Upgrades
Correct earthing defects and main protective bonding shortcomings identified by testing, addressing fault paths and connections that need improvement.
Arrange monthly functional checks and annual full-duration testing under BS 5266-1, with a completed log and repairs for failed fittings.
Why choose our London electricians?
You need testing you can act on, with the cost and inspector clear before the appointment. We provide EICR testing across London and remedial repairs following failed inspections, helping you move from an unanswered wiring question to documented findings. Buying a home, managing rentals or running a shop? Start with the assessment that fits your premises.
Residential EICRs have fixed prices based on bedroom count, confirmed before we attend. HMOs, commercial premises and larger installations are quoted according to scope. Repairs aren't included in that inspection price: a separate written remedial quotation is free and carries no obligation. That distinction lets you budget for testing without agreeing to unspecified repairs.
Your EICR is carried out by a NICEIC-registered engineer. Ask who'll inspect and check that individual's registration; the report identifies the inspector, so you can match the name to your checks. We use qualified, insured electricians. Credentials should be something you can check, not just reassuring wording.
We've spent years testing London properties, including houses divided into flats with wiring altered over decades. In areas such as East London, that stock makes careful assessment more useful than assumptions based on a tidy fuse board. Measurements can reveal inadequate fault protection that a visual glance won't establish. BS 7671 provides the assessment standard; an older installation doesn't automatically need replacing.
For rented accommodation, our landlord electrical inspection route helps you identify the relevant checks. If findings point towards board replacement, a local consumer unit upgrade can address unsuitable protective equipment after assessment. Don't buy an upgrade just because the enclosure looks dated.
Clear findings matter when you're deciding which defects need attention and what work to authorise. An inspection left until a licence deadline gives you less room to deal with problems. Better to establish the condition while there's still time to act.

Common booking questions in London
What will my inspection cost?
Our residential charges follow the number of bedrooms: 1-bedroom, £125 plus VAT; 2-bedroom, £160 plus VAT; 3-bedroom, £200 plus VAT; 4-bedroom, £250 plus VAT; 5-bedroom, £300 plus VAT. You'll have the fixed inspection charge confirmed ahead of attendance. For HMOs, business premises or larger installations, scope determines the quotation. Remedial work is priced separately through a free written quote, without obligation. Establishing the budget early avoids leaving testing undecided.
How can I check competence, and could I inspect it myself?
NICEIC-registered engineers carry out our EICRs. Request the inspecting engineer's identity and verify their registration when choosing a London EICR company. You'll find their name recorded on the completed report. DIY visual checks can't establish electrical safety: competent testing requires measurements and interpretation. Settle who's inspecting before relying on paperwork for a purchase or letting.
How long should I allow, and can the appointment fit around work?
Timing depends on what needs inspecting; a converted flat and communal landlord circuits aren't identical jobs. Explain the installation and access arrangements before agreeing the visit, including any concerns about disruption. We're open 8am to 10pm, seven days a week, with evening and weekend appointments available. Clarifying the scope ahead of booking helps you plan around work instead of guessing the duration.
Does a failed inspection mean I need rewiring?
It doesn't automatically mean replacing every cable. The observations determine what needs correcting; deteriorated insulation may require replacement of affected wiring through our electrical rewiring service. A board's age alone doesn't establish that need. Have the findings assessed promptly so necessary repairs aren't delayed by assumptions about a much bigger job.
What if my rental has a licence deadline?
Explain any licence deadline when discussing landlord electrical safety. For an HMO in Central London, our council licensing conditions electrical guidance points towards the appropriate assessment. Read the existing report alongside the licence conditions, rather than treating a renewal as an automatic fresh inspection cycle. Leaving that comparison until submission day can expose unresolved observations when you've little time left.
Arrange your electrical safety appointment
Call to book your EICR, with your property details and any tenancy, purchase or licence deadline to hand. If you're responsible for a North London home or shop, explain what paperwork you already hold and what prompted the inspection request. Make landlord electrical safety part of that discussion where relevant, so you're arranging the appropriate assessment before an unanswered question becomes a missed deadline.
