Electrician Hammersmith and Fulham: EICR for Flats

Hammersmith and Fulham is packed with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and converted flats, from Shepherd's Bush down to Fulham and Sands End by the river. A big share of it is rented, so EICR certificates for landlords and letting agents are the job we are asked for most here. This page covers prices, turnaround and what we often find in local properties.

Areas we cover in Hammersmith and Fulham

We work across the whole borough, including Hammersmith, Brook Green, Ravenscourt Park, Shepherd's Bush, White City, Wormholt, East Acton (borough side), Fulham, Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Sands End, West Kensington and Barons Court. That covers the W6, W12, W14 and SW6 postcodes.

EICR certificates for landlords

Private landlords in England must have the electrics in a rented home inspected and tested at least every five years and before a new tenancy, and give a copy of the report to the tenant. Letting agents in the area usually ask for a current report before they will market a property.

• Price: an EICR in Hammersmith or Fulham starts from £100, fixed when you book.
• Turnaround: booking is usually within 48 hours and the certificate is emailed the same day.
• Who: a registered electrical contractor with City & Guilds certified electricians, testing to BS 7671.

What we often find in local flats and houses

• Mansion block flats with older wiring in parts of the flat and a newer consumer unit that does not cover every circuit with RCD protection.
• Terraces converted into flats, where the communal landlord supply and individual flat supplies are mixed up.
• Basement and loft conversions wired from existing circuits without a check on the extra load.
• Missing main bonding to gas and water pipes after a kitchen or bathroom refit.

If the report is unsatisfactory, landlords have 28 days, or less if the report says so, to have C1, C2 and FI items put right. A consumer unit upgrade clears the most common codes in one job.

EV chargers

Off-street parking is limited in much of the borough, but where you have a private space or driveway, we can check whether your supply is ready for an EV charger installation.
