What to expect from an EICR in South Wimbledon
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 for this page come from Wimbledon Broadway South, where terraced houses alone account for 33% of homes, against 21% across London. By council tax records, 63% of homes were built before 1919. Wiring that old has long since been replaced, often in stages as kitchens, bathrooms and loft rooms were redone. An EICR here tests the installation as it is now. It records how circuits of different ages are protected, and where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard.
Two figures shape how homes here are let. Private renting is high, at 42% of households against 30% across London, and 24% of homes have four or more bedrooms, against 18%. A large house let as an HMO usually runs on one installation, so its EICR covers every let room and shared space together. Flats in converted houses, 17% of homes, work differently. Each of those flats usually has its own meter and consumer unit, and a separate landlord supply serves the hall and stairs.
In a terraced house built before 1919, the consumer unit and meter are often in a hallway cupboard or under the stairs. Keep both clear, and make sure any loft with wiring in it can be reached safely. Some tests mean switching the power off, so warn anyone working from home. If the house has a rear extension, a garden room or an outbuilding with power, mention it when booking so the visit allows for it. Extra circuits like these are part of the installation and appear on the same report.
Booking a visit in South Wimbledon
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 Merton
From Merton Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Merton licenses shared homes in 7 wards (Colliers Wood, Cricket Green, Figge's Marsh, Graveney, Lavender Fields, Longthornton and Pollards Hill) and single-household lets in 4 of them, until 23 September 2028.
Around South Wimbledon, most addresses are in Abbey and Wimbledon Town & Dundonald wards, both outside the selective licensing area, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need a selective licence. They are outside the additional licensing area, so only larger HMOs there need a licence. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
Merton asks for an EICR dated within 5 years with licence applications.
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 South Wimbledon
How much does an EICR cost in South Wimbledon?
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 Merton?
Only in parts of the borough. Shared homes need an additional licence in 7 Merton wards, and single-household lets need a selective licence in Figge's Marsh, Graveney, Longthornton and Pollards Hill.
I let a South Wimbledon house as an HMO. Does one EICR cover every room?
Usually, yes. A house let as an HMO normally has one installation, so a single EICR covers every let room, the kitchen, bathrooms, hall and stairs. The electrician needs to get into each room, including locked bedrooms, so arrange keys with the occupants in advance. If some rooms run from a second consumer unit on the same supply, that is inspected too and appears in the same report. The 5-year rule and the 28-day deadlines are the same as for any let.
How soon can you visit South Wimbledon?
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.
