What to expect from an EICR in Earlsfield
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 Earlsfield South, the census neighbourhood used for this page, 67% of homes are flats. Council tax records date half of all homes to before 1919, and 16% to the years since 2000. Original wiring from before 1939 is long past its expected life, so most homes here will have been rewired at least once. Older buildings were often rewired in stages, which leaves circuits of different ages sharing one consumer unit. The inspection looks at how those joins were made and where RCD protection is missing.
Converted houses add another layer. 16% of homes are flats in converted houses, against 11% across London. When a house is split, each flat usually gets its own meter and consumer unit, and a separate landlord supply runs the hall lights and door entry. The conversion may date from a different decade to the rewiring in the flat above or below. Cables serving one flat can also pass through another, which limits what can be seen without access to both. The report records any such limitation so you know what was and was not inspected.
Preparation pays off in older buildings with shared hallways. If your flat's consumer unit is in a hall cupboard, arrange a key with the freeholder before the day, and check which board is yours. For a terraced house, mention any loft conversion, rear extension or powered outbuilding, since each adds circuits to test. Paperwork from an earlier rewire or consumer unit change is worth having to hand, because it helps the electrician date the circuits.
Booking a visit in Earlsfield

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 Wandsworth
From Wandsworth Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Wandsworth licenses shared homes across the borough (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2030). Single-household lets need a selective licence in Furzedown, Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway and South Balham, and since 1 April 2026 in East Putney, West Putney and Northcote.
Around Earlsfield, most addresses are in Wandsworth Common and Wandle wards, both outside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need a selective licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Wandsworth asks for an electrical safety certificate when you apply.
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 Earlsfield
How much does an EICR cost in Earlsfield?
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 Wandsworth?
It depends on the ward. Shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in Wandsworth. Single-household lets need a selective licence in 7 wards: Furzedown, Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway, South Balham, East Putney, West Putney and Northcote.
Does my flat above a shop in Earlsfield need its own EICR?
Yes. A flat let above a shop needs an EICR of its own installation at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so. The shop has a separate commercial installation, which the shop's occupier or the building owner looks after under the lease. Before the visit, check you can reach the flat's meter and consumer unit, which are sometimes in a rear passage or a cupboard shared with the shop. If you own the whole building, mention it, because the shop's own installation is inspected separately.
How soon can you visit Earlsfield?
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.
