What to expect from an EICR in Hanwell
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.
Terraced houses are the most common type of home in Hanwell, at 36% against 21% across London. Council tax records date 59% of homes to before 1919, while the years from 1945 to 1972 added just 4%, against 17% across London. A terraced house of that age may have been rewired at least once, though not always completely. A kitchen or loft redone later can run on newer circuits while the bedrooms keep older ones. The EICR tests each circuit and records where RCD protection, earthing or bonding falls short of the current standard.
Terraced houses often gain a loft conversion or a rear extension over the years. Each addition brings circuits of its own date, sometimes fed from a second consumer unit, and all of it is tested with the rest of the installation. Where a terrace has been split into flats, as with 15% of homes here, each flat usually has its own meter and consumer unit. Flats above shops or in other converted buildings make up 5% of homes, slightly above London's 3%. In those, the flat's meter can sit inside the shop below.
That count covers only 300 m around the centre of Hanwell, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned. In a terraced house, the meter and consumer unit are usually near the front door or under the stairs. If they sit in a cupboard full of coats and shoes, clearing it saves time on the day. Owner-occupiers, 51% of households here, can book an EICR as well as landlords, for example after buying a house or before planning building work.

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 Hanwell
How much does an EICR cost in Hanwell?
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.
I'm buying a terraced house in Hanwell to live in. Is an EICR worth having?
Yes, if you want a clear picture of the electrics before you commit. An EICR records the installation's condition, codes each issue by risk, and shows whether RCD protection, earthing and bonding fall short of the current standard. In a house built before 1919, it also shows how far earlier rewiring went. You will need the seller's agreement for access, and the report helps you plan and budget any work.
How soon can you visit Hanwell?
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.
