Working in Cricklewood

Cricklewood sits where three boroughs meet: Brent, Barnet and Camden, in the NW2 postcode, which also covers Willesden Green, Dollis Hill and Childs Hill. Most of the housing is Edwardian and inter-war houses, plus purpose-built flats.

Our electricians and plumbers are in NW2 regularly for electrical jobs, plumbing and handyman work. Much of it is for landlords and agents, with tenant access arranged and photos and certificates sent after.

Because licensing rules change from street to street here, we keep the paperwork simple: a clear EICR, gas safety record and any remedial work, sent together so you can upload them straight to the council.

Property licensing in Cricklewood

On the Brent side, the Cricklewood & Mapesbury ward is in Brent’s selective licensing scheme from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029, and Dollis Hill and Willesden Green have been covered since 1 August 2023. Almost every privately rented home there needs a licence.

On the Barnet side, Barnet runs additional HMO licensing across the borough from 27 October 2022 to 26 October 2027, so shared houses need a licence. Barnet has consulted on selective licensing for wards including Cricklewood and Childs Hill, with the consultation closing on 15 September 2026, so watch for a decision.

Camden’s part of NW2 has borough-wide additional HMO licensing only, from 8 December 2025 to 7 December 2030.

Licensing rules change, so always check the exact address with Brent Council, Barnet Council or Camden Council. Correct as of November 2026.

Common questions

Does my Cricklewood rental need a licence?

It depends on the borough. On the Brent side, almost every rental needs a selective licence. On the Barnet and Camden sides, only shared houses need one for now, although Barnet has consulted on selective licensing. Check the exact address with the council.

Can you provide the certificates for a licence application?

Yes. We carry out EICRs and gas safety checks, quote any remedial work, and send all the certificates together.

Do you cover Willesden Green and Dollis Hill?

Yes. We cover all of NW2, including Willesden Green, Dollis Hill and Childs Hill.

Do you do rewires in NW2?

Yes. Many Edwardian and inter-war houses here are due a rewire or a new consumer unit, and we can plan the work around you.
