Electrician Hounslow and Chiswick: EICR and EV Chargers

Hounslow runs along the west of London from Chiswick and Brentford out to Hounslow, Isleworth, Feltham and Bedfont near Heathrow. The housing ranges from large Victorian and Edwardian houses in Chiswick to interwar semis and newer estates further west. This page covers EICR certificates, consumer unit upgrades and EV chargers across the borough.

Areas we cover in Hounslow

We work across the whole borough, including Chiswick, Grove Park, Strand on the Green, Brentford, Osterley, Isleworth, Hounslow, Hounslow West, Lampton, Heston, Cranford, Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont. That covers the W4, TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8, TW13 and TW14 postcodes.

EICR certificates for landlords and homeowners

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. Homeowners are not required to, but an EICR is worth having when you buy, before a renovation, or if the wiring has not been checked for many years.

• Price: an EICR in Chiswick or anywhere in Hounslow 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

• Large older houses in Chiswick with several generations of wiring, and sometimes more than one consumer unit.
• Flat conversions where shared hallway lighting runs from one flat's supply instead of a separate landlord supply.
• Interwar semis further west with original fuse boards or early consumer units with no RCD protection.
• Garden offices and outbuildings fed from the house without suitable cable or protection.

If a rented home's report is unsatisfactory, landlords have 28 days, or less if the report says so, to have C1, C2 and FI items put right. We quote any remedial work at the visit.

EV chargers in Hounslow and Chiswick

Many homes in the west of the borough have driveways, which makes a home charger straightforward. Chiswick streets are often in conservation areas, so the position of the charger matters. We check the supply, the board and the best spot for an EV charger installation at the same visit.
