What to expect from an EICR in Burnt Oak
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. Here's what the local housing means for yours.
Burnt Oak & Watling Park is the census neighbourhood behind this page's figures. There, council tax records date under 1% of homes to before 1919, against 29% across London. After the houses from between the wars, the next group was built from 1973 to 1999: 21% of homes, against 13% in London. That gives two quite different kinds of installation. Houses from between the wars had far fewer sockets than homes today, and most have been rewired since, often in stages. Homes from 1973 to 1999 may keep their original wiring, with a consumer unit that predates wide RCD protection.
Terraced houses are the most common type of house, at 31% of homes against 21% across London, though purpose-built flats are the largest group overall, at 38%. Very few houses have been split into flats: conversions are just 3% of homes, against 11% in London. A terraced house usually has one meter and one consumer unit for the whole building. Its EICR covers everything from the meter tails to the loft, including any extension. Social renting is above London's level too, at 31% against 23%. Where a flat in a social landlord's block is owned on a lease and let privately, the leaseholder arranges its EICR.
Any record of past electrical work is worth finding before the visit. Houses from between the wars have often been rewired a floor or a room at a time, and certificates from that work show which circuits are newer. In a block from 1973 to 1999, it helps to know whether the consumer unit has ever been replaced. The report records where earthing, bonding or RCD protection falls short of the current standard and codes each point by risk. Your paperwork does not change those codes, but it makes the findings easier to act on.

Licensing and landlord rules in Barnet
From Barnet Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Barnet licenses shared homes across the borough until 27 October 2027. The council has proposed selective licensing for 10 wards, including Golders Green, Hendon, West Hendon, Colindale and Finchley Church End, but no selective scheme is in force yet.
Around Burnt Oak, most addresses are in Burnt Oak ward. Barnet Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Barnet's licence conditions require a current electrical test certificate, less than 5 years old, on request.
Wherever you let in England, the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. Give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Any remedial work or further investigation the report requires must be done within 28 days, or sooner if it says so, and written confirmation that it's finished goes to the tenant and the council within 28 days of completion.

Questions about EICRs in Burnt Oak
How much does an EICR cost in Burnt Oak?
From £142.80 including VAT for a studio flat to £250.80 for a house with 5 or more bedrooms. The price is fixed when you book, there's no call-out fee, and you pay when your report is ready.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Barnet?
Only if it's shared, for now. Smaller HMOs need an additional licence anywhere in Barnet until 27 October 2027. Selective licensing for 10 wards has been proposed but is not in force.
Will my Burnt Oak house still have the wiring it was built with between the wars?
Probably not all of it. Houses of that age have often been rewired at least once, sometimes in stages, so original and later circuits can sit side by side. The EICR records what is there and how it tests, whatever its age. Age alone is not a defect: the report codes actual problems as C1, C2 or C3, or FI where something needs further investigation.
How soon can you visit Burnt Oak?
Online booking shows days up to 2 weeks ahead. Standard arrival windows are 9am to 12pm or 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday; after 4pm and weekends are on request and may carry an additional charge. Pick the day that suits you or your tenant and we'll confirm the time. If you're up against a tenancy deadline, call 0203 811 8331.
Will you test a garage, shed or garden room?
Yes, if it's supplied from the house's electrics. Tell us about it when you book so we allow the time, and it's included in the report with the rest of the installation.
