What to expect from an EICR in 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.
In Wimbledon Broadway North, the census neighbourhood used for this page, 56% of homes are flats and semi-detached houses account for 24%. Council tax records date 67% of homes to before 1919, against 29% across London, and just 8% to 2000 or later. Original wiring from before 1919 is long gone, so each house carries the work of later rewires and alterations. The EICR checks how those pieces fit together. It records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard, and codes each point by risk.
Converted houses are the other standout: 23% of homes are flats in converted houses, about twice London's 11%. Each of those flats usually has its own meter and consumer unit, while the hall and stairs run from a landlord supply that the freeholder looks after. Large homes are common too, with 31% having four or more bedrooms against 18% across London. A big house has more circuits, from kitchen and shower supplies to outside lights, and the EICR covers every one of them.
Three listed buildings stand within 300 m of the centre of Wimbledon: Wimbledon Town Hall, the Fire Station and Wimbledon Theatre, all grade II. If your building is listed, the inspection needs no consent; remedial work that disturbs historic fabric can. In a large house, clear access to every consumer unit and the loft saves time on the day. Private renting runs at 37% of households, against 30% across London. For a let house, the date on the report sets the next deadline: at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so.
Booking a visit in 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 Wimbledon, most addresses are in Wimbledon Town & Dundonald, Hillside and Abbey wards, all 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 Wimbledon
How much does an EICR cost in 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'm selling my Wimbledon house. Should I get an EICR first?
It is not required by law for an owner-occupied home, but it can help. A buyer may ask about the wiring in an older house, and an EICR gives a recent, coded record instead of guesswork. If the report raises C1 or C2 items, you can put them right before marketing, or factor them into the sale. If you decide to let the house instead, an EICR becomes a legal duty, at least every 5 years.
How soon can you visit 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.
