What to expect from an EICR in Colney Hatch
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.
The census figures on this page are for the Friern Barnet neighbourhood, where 59% of households own their home, against 45% across London. Council tax records show little recent building: 7% of homes date from 2000 or later, against 18% in London, while 28% were built between the wars. Houses of that age may have been rewired at least once, and many have had later work added piece by piece. The EICR checks the age of the consumer unit and which circuits have RCD protection. It also records where earthing or main bonding to gas and water pipes falls short of the current standard.
Houses here tend to be larger. Semi-detached houses are 28% of homes, against 19% across London, and 25% of homes have four or more bedrooms, against 18%. Larger houses collect additions over time: a loft conversion, a rear extension, a garden room fed from the house. Each one adds circuits, sometimes through a second consumer unit, and the EICR treats the whole lot as one installation. If the house is let, the landlord is responsible for all of it, including anything added by a previous owner.
One listed building stands within 300 m of Colney Hatch Lane: the Former Friern Hospital, grade II. If your flat or house is inside a listed building, the inspection needs no consent. Remedial work that alters historic fabric can need listed building consent, so check the status before any repairs are booked. For a house with several additions, a note of what was added and roughly when helps the electrician plan the visit. Certificates for a new consumer unit, a rewire or an extension are worth digging out too.
Booking a visit in Colney Hatch
Getting in
Someone needs to let the electrician in. We need every room, the consumer unit and any loft, garage or outbuilding that has power.
Tenants
If the home is let, give us your tenant's name and number when you book and we'll agree the time with them directly.
Parking
If parking is restricted near the property, tell us when you book and whether a visitor permit is available.
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.
On the Barnet side of Colney Hatch, addresses are mostly in Friern Barnet ward. Barnet Council has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Part of the area is in Enfield: New Southgate ward is inside Enfield's selective licensing area, so a single-household let there generally needs a Enfield licence. 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 Colney Hatch
How much does an EICR cost in Colney Hatch?
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.
I live in my Colney Hatch house rather than letting it: do I need an EICR?
There is no legal duty for an owner-occupier to have one. The 5-year rule applies to privately rented homes. An EICR is still worth having when you buy a house, before major work such as a loft conversion, or when nobody knows how old the wiring is. It gives you a clear record of condition, with any defects coded C1, C2 or C3, or FI.
How soon can you visit Colney Hatch?
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.
