What to expect from an EICR in Southall
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.
Southall Park, whose census figures are used for Southall, has more large homes than London as a whole. 27% have four or more bedrooms, against 18%, and 37% have three. Council tax records show most homes here were built between the wars, with 23% older still. A house from between the wars will have been rewired at least once, but not always all at once. One floor may have newer circuits while another keeps older ones, and the consumer unit may be newer than the cables it serves. Each circuit is tested, along with RCD protection, the earthing arrangement and the bonding to gas and water pipes.
Semi-detached houses are the most common type of home here, at 36% against 19% across London, and detached houses add 7%. Houses like these often have room to grow: a loft conversion, a side or rear extension, a garden room or workshop supplied from the house. Each addition brings its own circuits, and some have a second consumer unit or a cable run out to the garden. All of it is part of the installation the EICR covers. Any certificates issued for that work are worth having ready on the day.
The Liberty Cinema is grade II*, one of 3 listed buildings within 300 m of the centre of Southall. That count covers only 300 m, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned. Private renting stands at 39% of households, against 30% across London. A larger house may be let as an HMO, with a lock on each bedroom. In that case, arrange keys for every room before the visit. A room the electrician cannot enter is left out of the inspection and recorded as a limitation on the report.
Booking a visit in Southall
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 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 Southall
How much does an EICR cost in Southall?
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 Southall house is let as an HMO. Who gets a copy of the EICR?
Every tenant. Each existing tenant must have a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and each new tenant before they move in. In a house let room by room, that means a copy for every tenancy, not one for the house. If remedial work follows, send the electrician's written confirmation to the tenants and to the council within 28 days of the work being completed.
How soon can you visit Southall?
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.
