What to expect from an EICR in Notting Hill
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.
Flats in converted houses are three times as common in Notting Hill West, the census neighbourhood used here, as across London: 33% against 11%. Council tax records show building between the wars at 2% and since 2000 at 2%, so the great majority of homes come from before 1919. In houses that old, a rewire was often done floor by floor as rooms were refitted. The EICR tests each circuit on its own, and it can find older lighting circuits left in place when the sockets were renewed. It also checks RCD protection and the bonding of the gas and water services.
There are 25 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Notting Hill. The Church of St Peter is grade II*. The Twentieth Century Theatre and the Church of St John Notting Hill are grade II. Listed buildings also stand on Lansdowne Road, Lansdowne Crescent, Stanley Crescent, Stanley Gardens and Kensington Park Gardens. An EICR in a listed house needs no consent, because nothing is altered. Remedial work can be another matter. If it means disturbing original plaster, joinery or decorative ceilings, listed building consent may be needed before work starts.
In a converted house, the meters for each flat are often grouped in the hall or basement, and the electrician needs to reach yours. Terraced houses make up 25% of homes. Where one is let whole, any loft conversion or garden room supplied from it adds circuits to test. Private renting reaches 36% of households, against 30% across London, so many homes here have tenants in place. Where they do, warn them that the power will go off for short spells while circuits are tested.
Booking a visit in Notting Hill
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 Kensington and Chelsea
From Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Kensington and Chelsea licenses shared homes across the borough (1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028). There is no selective licensing for single-household lets.
Around Notting Hill, most addresses are in Norland, Colville and Notting Dale wards. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has no selective licensing, so a home let to a single household there doesn't need one. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
RBKC asks for a current EICR when you apply for an HMO licence.
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 Notting Hill
How much does an EICR cost in Notting Hill?
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.
Is there a Central London fee for W11?
No. The £21.60 Central London fee only applies to EC and WC postcodes, W1, SE1 and SW1. W11 pays the standard price.
Do I need a licence to let a property in Kensington and Chelsea?
Only if it's shared. Smaller HMOs need an additional licence anywhere in the borough until 31 May 2028. A flat let to one household doesn't need a licence, but it still needs a valid EICR.
My Notting Hill house is split into two flats. Do I need one EICR or two?
Two, as a rule. Each flat with its own meter and consumer unit is a separate installation and needs its own EICR. If the house also has a landlord supply for shared lighting or door entry, that needs inspecting too. If both flats still run from a single meter and consumer unit, it is one installation and one EICR covers it, though each tenant still gets a copy.
How soon can you visit Notting Hill?
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.
Does an EICR for my flat cover the communal areas?
No. Your EICR covers the installation that serves your flat, from its consumer unit to its sockets, lights and fixed appliances. Hallway lighting, door entry and other communal circuits belong to the freeholder or managing agent, who arranges their own inspection.
