What to expect from an EICR in West Kensington
An EICR tests the fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and lights, and codes anything that falls short as C1, C2, C3 or FI. The neighbourhood data provides context; it cannot establish the condition of an individual property.
Houses are rare in West Kensington: terraced houses make up 4% of homes, against 21% across London. Building dates from council tax records fall mainly into two periods. 54% before 1919 and 20% between the wars, close to London's 22%, with only 6% since 2000. So most flats here are in older blocks or converted houses, and their wiring has usually been replaced at least once. Blocks from between the wars often keep their original layout, with each flat's consumer unit in a hallway cupboard and the meters grouped elsewhere. The EICR looks at that consumer unit, at RCD protection and at the earthing and bonding the flat relies on.
Communal heating stands out here. 11% of homes depend only on communal or district heating, nearly four times London's 3%. In a building heated this way, the boilers, pumps and pipework belong to the building and are not part of your flat's report. Inside the flat, there may be a heat interface unit, a pump or controls supplied from your consumer unit. Those are tested with everything else. Purpose-built blocks hold 68% of homes, against 40% across London. The heating plant is normally run by the freeholder or a managing agent.
Only one building is listed within 300 m of the centre of West Kensington: the Former West London County Court, grade II. Only 300 m around the centre of West Kensington is counted, so check your own building's status before repairs are planned. Converted houses hold 26% of homes, against 11% across London, and in those the meters for every flat often share one cupboard. Private renting is 47% of households, against 30% across London, so many flats are let. Arrange access to the meter position as well as the flat, and let any tenant know the power will be off for short spells.
Booking a visit in West Kensington
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 Hammersmith and Fulham
From Hammersmith and Fulham Council's own pages, checked 13 October 2026.
Hammersmith and Fulham licenses shared homes across the borough and, unusually, single-household lets on 24 named streets, including King Street, Goldhawk Road, Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush Road, Fulham Road and North End Road. Both schemes run to 4 June 2027.
On the Hammersmith and Fulham side of West Kensington, addresses are mostly in Avonmore, West Kensington and Brook Green wards. The selective licensing boundary is defined by streets or older ward boundaries, so check the exact property on Hammersmith and Fulham Council's address checker before deciding whether a selective licence is required. Part of the area is in Kensington and Chelsea: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has no active selective licensing scheme in the published borough data; check HMO licensing separately. Ward boundaries don't follow postcodes, so check the exact address with the council.
On the selective licensing streets, H&F requires an EICR no more than 5 years old at the start of each tenancy.
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.

The managing agent has had my West Kensington block tested. Do I still need an EICR for my flat?
Yes. The managing agent's inspection covers the building's shared electrics, such as landing lights, door entry and any heating plant. Your flat's installation, from the meter position through the consumer unit to every circuit, is separate and needs its own EICR while it is let. That means an inspection at least every 5 years, or sooner if the report says so, with a copy for your tenant.
How soon can you visit West Kensington?
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.
