What to expect from an EICR in Clapham
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 figures here are for Clapham North, the census neighbourhood this page uses. 30% of its homes are flats in converted houses, close to three times the 11% across London. 28% have one bedroom. Council tax records put 57% of homes before 1919 and only 2% between 1919 and 1939. The housing jumps from the oldest stock to post-war blocks with little in between. Original wiring from before 1919 is long past its expected life, so most of these flats will have been rewired at least once, often circuit by circuit. The report records where earthing, bonding or RCD protection falls short of the current standard and codes each point by risk.
Conversions shape the inspection more than anything else in Clapham. A flat carved out of a house usually has its own meter and consumer unit. It may sit in the hallway, or in a cupboard under the stairs that another flat also uses. The electrician needs to reach yours and to know which circuits are yours when the labelling is poor. The landlord supply for the hallway lights and door entry is a separate installation. The rented-homes regulations don't cover it, but the freeholder is responsible for keeping it safe, so it makes sense to inspect it on the same visit.
There are 15 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Clapham. St Mary's Redemptorist Monastery is grade II*. The Church of St Peter, the Oddfellows Hall, the Clock Tower and the Station Building are grade II. The count covers only 300 m around the centre of Clapham, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned. The inspection needs no consent anywhere. Parts of SW4 sit in Wandsworth rather than Lambeth. That changes nothing about the EICR itself, but it does change which council a licensing question goes to.
Booking a visit in Clapham
Getting in
Tell us who holds the keys and whether a concierge, porter or managing agent needs notice. We need access to the flat and to its consumer unit, wherever that sits in the building.
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 Lambeth
From Lambeth Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Lambeth licenses single-household lets in every ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank, after the second phase of its selective scheme started on 1 September 2025. Its borough-wide additional HMO scheme runs to 8 December 2026.
Around Clapham, most addresses are in Clapham Town, Clapham East and Clapham Common & Abbeville wards, all 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.
Lambeth asks for an EICR with selective licence applications and expects any C1 or C2 items to be put right.
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 Clapham
How much does an EICR cost in Clapham?
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 Lambeth?
In most of Lambeth, yes. Selective licensing covers every ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank, and shared homes need an additional HMO licence anywhere in the borough until 8 December 2026.
My Clapham flat shares a cupboard with the flat downstairs. Which consumer unit is mine?
Usually the one fed from your meter, but in older conversions the labels can be missing or wrong. The electrician identifies your circuits by isolating each one and checking what goes off in your flat. Nothing in the other flat is touched. Give access to the shared cupboard on the day and say whose keys open it. If a circuit turns out to be shared between flats, the report records it, because a shared circuit can't be isolated safely by one tenant.
How soon can you visit Clapham?
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.
