What to expect from an EICR in Kingsbury
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.
Semi-detached houses make up 43% of homes in Kingsbury South, the census neighbourhood used for this page, against 19% across London. Council tax records for the same area date 80% of homes to between the wars, and almost none to before 1919. Original wiring from between the wars is long past its expected life, so these houses will normally have been rewired, some more than once. The EICR checks the consumer unit, RCD protection where the current standard expects it, and the earthing and bonding, which can lag behind the rest of a house after a rewire.
Three-bedroom homes are the largest group by size: 46%, against 30% across London. Separately, 25% of homes have four or more bedrooms. Houses like these are often extended over the decades, with loft conversions, rear extensions and kitchen refits each adding circuits. Every one of those circuits is part of the fixed installation, and the EICR tests it the same way as the original wiring. Where an extension has its own consumer unit, the cable feeding it from the main board is checked too.
Most households, 57%, own their home, and 33% rent from a private landlord, a little above London's 30%. Where a house is let, circuits added for extensions and loft rooms are tested with everything else, so a second consumer unit or a supply run out to a garden building adds time on the day. Mention either when arranging the appointment. No listed buildings are recorded within 300 m of the centre of Kingsbury. NW9 also reaches into Barnet, though the EICR itself is the same on both sides.

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 Brent
From Brent Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Brent licenses shared homes across the borough (2 February 2026 to 2 February 2031) and single-household lets in every ward except Wembley Park.
Around Kingsbury, most addresses are in Welsh Harp and Kingsbury wards, both inside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there generally needs a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Brent's HMO licence conditions require a current electrical report (within the last 5 years) within 28 days of a 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 Kingsbury
How much does an EICR cost in Kingsbury?
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 Brent?
Almost certainly, unless the home is in Wembley Park ward. Selective licensing covers every other Brent ward, and shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in the borough.
Why does an EICR on a Kingsbury semi look at the gas and water pipes?
Because the main protective bonding connects them to the installation's earth. If a fault makes a pipe live, the bonding limits the voltage you could touch while the protective device disconnects the supply. In houses built between the wars, bonding was usually added at a later rewire, and it can be missing, undersized or disconnected after plumbing work. The electrician checks it close to where each pipe enters the house.
How soon can you visit Kingsbury?
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.
