Residential prices are based on property size and assume one consumer unit, a normal circuit count and reasonable access. Converted properties, HMOs, multiple boards and unusually complex installations are quoted individually.
The price is confirmed before attendance from the property details supplied. If the installation materially differs - additional consumer units, or an undeclared commercial area - we explain and agree any change in scope before testing continues.

Licence applications and renewals ask for current electrical safety documentation. Check your property's exact status and any exemptions with the council before applying.
A scorched faceplate or a hot, fishy smell near the fuse box means stop - cut power to that circuit and have an emergency electrician out before it turns into something worse. "EICR failed - what now?" is a call we take most weeks; eicr remedial work turns that schedule of c1 c2 c3 codes back into a satisfactory report. If you're letting a flat and the agent won't move without a landlord electrical certificate, we handle eicr testing in Roehampton around tenancy dates and supply the eicr certificate your file needs. And when lighting flickers or bulbs keep dying, the cause is often a worn connection - where it's genuinely the cabling, rewiring the affected circuits ends the mystery. Whichever of these brought you here, the fault has already announced itself - dealing with it early is the cheap version.
EICR Testing and Electrical Services in Roehampton
Two things usually bring people to this page: a report that's expired, or one that's come back covered in codes with nothing explaining them. Either way we start with the inspection, put the findings and any remedial pricing in writing, then hand over the certification for whatever we carry out. Councils and housing associations, private and portfolio landlords, managing and letting agents all use us for exactly that - and so do homeowners, HMO landlords, people mid-sale and small business tenants. One maisonette gets tested to the same standard as a programme covering two hundred homes, by the same electrician, with the same paperwork at the end.
The inspection covers the whole fixed installation - consumer unit, earthing and bonding, every circuit tested dead and live against BS 7671 - with each observation coded on the report. Roehampton runs heavily to post-war flats and maisonettes, and in that stock what happened after handover usually matters more than the original wiring. Circuits extended, showers added, kitchens reworked. That's the daily reality for an eicr electrician Roehampton landlords call in, and why test results count for more than the age of the block. For social landlords, the 2025 standards apply to tenancies granted on or after 1 December 2025; where the tenancy started earlier, the regulations came into force on 1 May 2026 with transitional provisions allowing the first inspection to be completed before 1 November 2026. Arrange an electrical installation condition report well ahead of those dates.
EICR Remedial Works
Unsatisfactory means at least one C1, C2 or FI has been recorded - danger present, potentially dangerous, or something that needs investigating further before it can be coded properly. We price the schedule line by line so you can see what's compulsory and what's advisory, then do the work with the affected circuits re-tested afterwards. Occupied flats need planning around residents, and we'd rather agree access than turn up hopeful. Missing 30mA additional protection is a common observation, though it isn't automatically a fail - depending on the circuit, where it runs and the risk, it's coded C2 or C3. When it's finished you get it in writing - confirmation of the work carried out, with the certification appropriate to it. Put the remedial work in hand rather than carry it into another year.
Landlord Electrical Safety Packages
Compliance for a let property isn't one job, it's four or five with different renewal dates, and juggling them across several flats is where things slip. The package covers the EICR, PAT testing on supplied appliances and the smoke and CO alarm checks a tenancy needs - scheduled together, certificated together, returned as one document set with the landlord electrical safety certificate Roehampton agents ask for at check-in included. Worth knowing, if you also hold the supply to stairwells and communal areas: that sits outside the dwelling-specific rented-sector regulations. It still has to be maintained and inspected, just under different duties, so we quote it separately rather than bury it in a flat's eicr certificate. Book the landlord package when your tenancy dates cluster.
Related electrical work in Roehampton
- Consumer unit and fuse box upgrades - replacing boards where testing shows the protection no longer matches how the property's used.
- Rewiring and part rewires - for installations where insulation has gone brittle and repair isn't sensible, homes and communal areas alike.
- 24/7 emergency electricians - when a fault can't wait: lost power, scorched fittings, a breaker that won't stay in.
- PAT testing - portable appliance checks for furnished lets, student houses and small commercial units.
Every month a coded fault waits, the fix gets more disruptive and the tenant gets less patient about letting you in.
Electrical Problems We Fix in Roehampton
In a renting area like this, tenants usually spot the fault first - so the landlord hears about it second-hand and needs it resolved quickly. Some of these end in a repair; some end in an electrical installation condition report in Roehampton confirming the rest of the wiring is sound.
Hot Plugs, Scorch Marks and Smoke
"Burning smell from a plug socket" - or that odd fishy smell that comes and goes. Usually it's a connection that's worked loose and started arcing under load; sometimes a strained adaptor, sometimes the appliance's own plug. That's an active fire hazard: isolate at the board, 999 if there's smoke or flame, then get the source of that smell investigated before the circuit's used again.
Shocks and Tingles From Taps or Appliances
"Got a shock from the tap" - or a tingle off the washing machine. That can mean earthing or bonding isn't doing its job and exposed metalwork is going live under fault; a leaking appliance or a deteriorating supply neutral can do the same. This is never wait-and-see. Switch off, keep everyone clear, and treat a shock or tingle from metalwork as the emergency it is.
Partial Power Loss Around the Home
"Half the sockets aren't working" - or upstairs is dead while downstairs hums along. Often it's a tripped MCB, or a connection that's failed mid-circuit; on a ring final, one broken leg leaves part dead and the rest overloaded. Failed joints are where heat damage begins, so dead sockets while others still work deserve an engineer today rather than next week.
Flickering Lights and Bulbs That Keep Blowing
"Lights keep flickering", or they dim whenever an appliance kicks in. One fitting misbehaving is often a loose switch or ceiling-rose connection - or LED lamps that simply don't get on with an old dimmer. The whole property flickering points higher up, towards a failing neutral or supply-side connection, and that's urgent - as is any flicker with heat, buzzing or a smell attached. Getting flickering or dimming lights diagnosed promptly is cheap; the loose joint behind them doesn't stay cheap.
Weighing Up Who Should Test Your Wiring?
Take your time - but check two things while you compare: whether the report arrives with its codes translated into plain English, and whether remedial pricing is broken out per item. Holding an unsatisfactory eicr right now? Send it over and we'll turn it into a costed schedule of repairs - or get the inspection in the diary before a niggle grows into a genuine fault.
Electrical Safety Across Roehampton's Housing Stock
Roehampton is an unusual pocket on this side of London: one of Europe's best-known post-war council developments, an NHS hospital and a campus university all inside the same SW15 pocket - and each generates its own strand of testing demand. Queen Mary's Hospital on Roehampton Lane, operated by St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is exactly the kind of significant non-domestic estate that lives on fixed-wire testing cycles. The University of Roehampton keeps all its halls of residence on campus across four colleges, so institutional student accommodation runs on fixed-wire and PAT programmes alongside teaching buildings under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Non-domestic testing at that scale is diary-driven - organisations that stay compliant book cycles, not one-offs.
Council and ALMO Housing
The Alton Estate dominates the housing picture: thousands of 1950s-vintage council installations, all now inside the mandatory 5-yearly EICR cycle brought in by the social-housing electrical standards that took effect in November 2025. Blocks of that era were wired for a different world, and where blocks are listed, upgrades to landlord and communal supplies need specialist handling rather than a standard swap. The estate renewal remains pipeline rather than built as of July 2026 - when those phases eventually hand over, they'll layer new-installation certificates onto the estate's existing testing round rather than replacing it. Ex-right-to-buy flats scattered through the estate feed the private side too: a landlord eicr in Roehampton covers a 1950s ex-council flat as often as anything period. For whoever carries the duty on this stock, sequencing wins - testing, remedial lists and board replacements planned in batches, not picked off reactively as tenancies force the issue.
Regeneration and New-Build Developments
The Lennox Estate infill on Arabella Drive is, as of July 2026, a pipeline scheme - if delivered, both blocks would carry the social-housing electrical duty from their very first tenancy. In the meantime the estate's existing sheltered and general stock is already on the live 5-yearly cycle, and sheltered housing never earns a "later" slot: vulnerable residents raise the scrutiny, they don't lower it. Everyone responsible for stock around here already knows their cycle dates; the gap between knowing the date and booking the inspection is exactly where penalties live.
Electrical Safety Services Across Roehampton and Nearby Areas
Roehampton sits at the western edge of our patch, but the postcode changes nothing about the service: an eicr in Roehampton is booked, tested and reported exactly as it would be in Battersea or Balham, and the same engineers cover the whole of South West London between them. For agents holding stock across several neighbourhoods that means one contractor, one report format and one renewal diary. Fragmented compliance is how certificates get missed - consolidating it is the easy win.
Questions About EICRs and Electrical Work in Roehampton
What actually happens during the visit?
The engineer carrying out eicr testing in Roehampton inspects the consumer unit, a sample of accessories and the visible condition of the wiring, then dead- and live-tests the circuits against BS 7671. The result is an Electrical Installation Condition Report listing any observations by code. Knowing the true state of the installation is the cheapest item on this page; not knowing is the only expensive one.
Will the power be off all day?
No - circuits are isolated in turn as they're tested, so the whole property isn't down for the duration. Tenanted flats stay liveable and shops can usually trade around it. If access is the worry, that's a scheduling conversation - not a reason to let the certificate lapse.
Who's responsible - landlord or agent?
The legal duty under the 2020 Regulations sits with the landlord, though in practice agents often run the diary. Either way the report has to exist, go to tenants, and be produced to the council within 7 days if requested - with penalties of up to £40,000 per breach under the cap in force since November 2025. If nobody's sure who booked the last one, that's usually the sign it's due.
Is one flat too small a job?
Not remotely. A lone flat, a single shop, a homeowner wanting reassurance before building work - all standard bookings for us. The eicr certificate Roehampton landlords need for a single tenancy gets identical effort to a 200-home portfolio programme. Most of our bigger clients started as one small job.
What decides the price?
Circuit count first, then property size, age and access. You'll have the figure in writing before anything's booked - and if remedials are needed afterwards they're quoted item by item, so you can see what clearing each code costs. Defects only get dearer while they sit unfixed.
