From South Wimbledon terraces to Village houses

Wimbledon's housing changes a lot over a short distance. South Wimbledon and the streets towards Haydons Road are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces; Raynes Park and much of SW20 is inter-war semi-detached housing; the Village and the slopes towards Wimbledon Park have larger detached and period houses.

Inter-war semis in SW20

Houses built between the wars were often rewired once, decades ago, and then added to. We commonly find older consumer units, lighting circuits without an earth, and kitchen or garage circuits added later without RCD protection.

Large houses and outbuildings

Bigger Wimbledon houses tend to have several boards, garden offices, garages, electric gates and car chargers.

Flats near the town centre

Around the town centre and the stations there are purpose-built blocks and converted houses let to commuters.

What is checked

A registered electrician inspects the consumer unit and tests every circuit, confirming that the earthing is sound, the protective devices disconnect in time and the RCDs work as they should. Sockets, switches and fittings are sampled and opened. The report codes each issue and states whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use. More detail is on our EICR London page.

Letting in Merton

For private tenancies in England, the electrical installation must be inspected and tested at least every five years.

Buying in Wimbledon

If a survey has flagged the electrics on a house you are buying, an EICR gives you a clear picture of their condition.

Timing and access

We agree a time with the tenant or owner, and a three bedroom house usually takes around half a day.

Electrical upgrades Wimbledon owners ask about

Many Wimbledon households are adding load: home offices, electric car chargers, heat pumps and induction hobs.

Car chargers

A charger needs a dedicated circuit and suitable earthing arrangements. The report shows whether the existing supply and board can accept one.

Home offices and garden rooms

Garden offices need a properly protected supply with the right cable buried at the right depth.

Kitchen upgrades

Induction hobs and electric ovens draw heavy current. If the kitchen circuit was designed for a gas hob, it may need upgrading.

Selling a Wimbledon family home

Larger houses that have been in the same family for decades often have an electrical installation nobody has looked at closely for years.

Areas we cover nearby

SW19 and SW20, including Wimbledon Village, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park, plus Merton Park, Colliers Wood and Morden. If the property has gas, the gas safety certificate in Wimbledon can be done on the same day.
