What to expect from an EICR in Edgware
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.
In Edgware Central, the census neighbourhood used for this page, 27% of homes have four or more bedrooms, against 18% across London. Council tax records date the large majority of homes to between the wars. Houses of that period were first wired for lighting and a few sockets. The wiring has usually been replaced since, sometimes more than once. What survives from each round of work is the main question for the EICR. The electrician looks at the age of the consumer unit, which circuits have RCD protection, and where earthing and main bonding fall short of the current standard.
Semi-detached houses are the most common type of house here, at 42% of homes against 19% across London. Houses like these are often extended: a loft conversion, a kitchen extension, a garden office. Every addition brings circuits of its own, and they count as part of the house's installation even when a separate unit feeds them. HA8 is also split between councils, with part of the postcode in Harrow. The EICR rules are the same on either side, but written confirmation of completed remedial work goes to your tenant and to the council for your address, within 28 days of completion.
Private renting is above the London level, at 36% of households against 30%, and owner-occupation is 53%. For a let house, gather any certificates from past work before the visit: a consumer unit change, a partial rewire, an extension. They show which circuits are newer and where they start. Without them, the electrician still inspects and tests everything accessible, and the report notes any part that could not be reached. Any item coded C1 or C2, or marked FI, needs action within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
Booking a visit in Edgware
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.
Around Edgware, most addresses are in Edgware 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 Edgware
How much does an EICR cost in Edgware?
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've added a loft conversion to my Edgware semi: will the EICR cover the circuits it added?
Yes. The EICR covers the whole fixed installation, including circuits added for a loft conversion or extension, even if they run from a separate consumer unit. It helps to have any certificates from that work to hand, and to tell us where the added circuits start. The report then shows how the old and recent parts of the installation work together.
How soon can you visit Edgware?
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.
