What to expect from an EICR in West 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.
Very little in West Ealing was built between 1919 and 1972. Council tax records put 4% of homes between the wars and 3% from 1945 to 1972, against 22% and 17% across London. Most homes are either older than 1919 or much newer, with 27% built since 2000. That gives two quite different inspections. An older home has usually been rewired over time and can mix circuits of different ages, so the electrician tests how they connect. A home wired since 2008 usually has wide RCD protection, while one finished earlier in the 2000s may have it on the sockets only.
Flats in converted houses make up 20% of homes here, nearly double London's 11%. The age of the conversion matters as much as the age of the house. A flat created in a recent conversion may have been rewired completely when it was made. An older conversion may still carry circuits from before the house was split, alongside later additions. Your report deals with the circuits fed from your flat's own consumer unit, whenever they were put in. The electrician checks where older and newer work meet, and how the flat is earthed.
Only 300 m around the centre of West Ealing is counted, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned. Private renting, at 34% of households, and social renting, at 23%, are both close to London's 30% and 23%. Paperwork helps here. If the flat was created or rewired since 2000, the installer's certificate shows what was done and when, and the electrician can compare it with what is found. Have it ready on the day, along with any certificates for later 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 West Ealing
How much does an EICR cost in West 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 West Ealing flat has a newer consumer unit but older wiring. Is that a problem?
Not in itself. A newer board on older circuits is often found after a partial upgrade. The electrician tests each circuit and checks that the board's devices suit the cables they protect. Where older wiring shows deterioration, or earthing and bonding fall short of the current standard, the report codes it by risk. A sound older circuit on a newer board can be entirely acceptable.
How soon can you visit West 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.
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.
