What to expect from an EICR in Ealing
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.
Ealing Broadway East is the census neighbourhood behind this page, and 56% of its households rent from a private landlord, against 30% across London. Council tax records split its homes into two clear groups: 42% were built before 1919 and 36% since 2000, twice London's 18%. The decades in between account for much less. A flat in a converted older house tends to hold wiring from several dates, joined at its consumer unit. A block finished since 2000 usually has one consistent installation, though how much RCD protection it has depends on the year it was wired.
Heating sets this area apart as well. 21% of homes rely on electricity alone for heat, against 13% across London, and 7% depend only on communal or district heating, against 3%. Electric-only heating does not always mean a building has no gas. It does mean heavy loads that run for hours, from storage heaters, panel heaters or an electric boiler. Storage heaters often have their own off-peak circuit. The electrician checks that each heating circuit and its protection suit the load, and looks for signs of overheating at the connections.
Listed buildings are few here. There are 5 within 300 m of the centre of Ealing: the Parish Church of Christ the Saviour is grade II*, and the National Westminster Bank is grade II. For most flats, access matters more. In a newer block the meter is often in a locked room run by the managing agent, and the electrician needs to reach it as well as the consumer unit. If the flat has storage heaters or an electric boiler, mention it at booking, because those circuits and any separate off-peak supply add time to the visit.
Booking a visit in Ealing
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 Ealing
From Ealing Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Ealing licenses shared homes across the borough until 31 March 2027 (a renewal was consulted on in 2026), and single-household lets in 15 of its pre-2022 wards, including Southall, Acton, Greenford, Northolt and Perivale. Because those wards were redrawn in 2022, check the exact address on Ealing's map.
Ealing asks for an EICR dated within the last 5 years, and marked satisfactory, 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 Ealing
How much does an EICR cost in Ealing?
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 Ealing?
Possibly. Shared homes need an additional licence anywhere in Ealing, and single-household lets need a selective licence in large parts of Southall, Acton, Greenford, Northolt and Perivale. Ealing's postcode checker gives the answer for an exact address.
My Ealing flat's EICR came back unsatisfactory. What happens next?
You arrange the remedial work, and the report itself stays unsatisfactory. Any C1 or C2 items, and any FI investigation, must be dealt with within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. When the work is finished, get the electrician's written confirmation and keep it with the EICR. Send that confirmation to your tenant and to the council within 28 days of the work being completed.
How soon can you visit Ealing?
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.
