Electrician Golders Green and Cricklewood: EICR for Landlords

Golders Green and Cricklewood sit where Barnet, Brent and Camden meet, with Edwardian semis and terraces, mansion blocks along Finchley Road, 1930s houses towards Hendon and many larger homes split into flats. Plenty of homes are let, and many family houses have been extended more than once. This page covers EICRs and electrical work in NW11 and NW2.

Areas we cover

We work across Golders Green, Cricklewood, Childs Hill, Temple Fortune, Brent Cross, Dollis Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb edge and the borders with Hendon, Kilburn and West Hampstead. Our posts on Finchley and Hendon and Kilburn and West Hampstead cover the neighbouring areas.

EICR for landlords and homeowners

Landlords must have an EICR at least every five years and give a copy to tenants before they move in. Homeowners often book one before an extension, a loft conversion or a sale, to find out what state the wiring is in. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day.

Extended family homes

Many houses here have rear extensions, loft rooms and basement or garden rooms, often added at different times by different builders. During an EICR we check that each addition has its own protection, that cable sizes suit the load, and that the consumer unit can cope. Our guide on fuseboard replacement in London explains when a new board is needed.

What we often find in NW11 and NW2

• Old consumer units with no RCD protection.
• Extensions and loft rooms wired on to original circuits.
• Mansion block flats with original lighting circuits and no earth.
• Outdoor lights and sockets with no weatherproofing.
