Are your electricians Part P certified?

Yes — all our electricians are fully qualified and registered under Part P of the Building Regulations. Any notifiable electrical work we carry out is certified and registered with the appropriate body, giving you a formal certificate for your records.

What electrical work do you carry out?

We carry out a wide range of domestic and light commercial electrical work including consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades, additional sockets and lighting circuits, EV charger installation, smart lighting and home automation, EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports), fault finding and emergency repairs.

What is an EICR and do I need one?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal assessment of the safety and condition of your electrical installation. Landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years or at change of tenancy. We recommend homeowners also have one when buying a property or every 10 years.

Can you install EV chargers?

Yes — we install home EV chargers from leading brands including Ohme, Zappi and Easee. We handle the full installation including the dedicated circuit, charge point fitting and any OZEV grant applications where applicable.

Do you work on smart home electrical systems?

Yes — we have specific experience with smart lighting systems, automated blinds, multi-room AV and integration with platforms including Lutron, KNX and Control4. We work alongside interior designers and architects on high-spec residential projects.

Can you upgrade my fuse board?

Yes — if your consumer unit is outdated, lacks RCD protection or is repeatedly tripping, a modern consumer unit upgrade is often the right solution. All our upgrades comply with BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations) and include full certification.

How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?

We aim to respond to electrical emergencies — total loss of power, burning smells, exposed live wiring — on the same day. Call 020 7458 4949 and our team will advise on the safest course of action and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.

Can you work on listed buildings or conservation area properties?

Yes — we have experience working sensitively on listed buildings and period properties across Mayfair, Belgravia and Kensington. We understand the constraints involved and work in a way that is sympathetic to the property while meeting all current regulations.

Common Issues

Electrical Issues in London Period Properties

Prime London properties — from Georgian townhouses to Victorian mansion flats — present specific electrical challenges that our engineers encounter daily.

No RCD protection

Many period properties still have consumer units without RCD protection — meaning a single fault can cause electric shock with no automatic disconnection. A consumer unit upgrade resolves this.

Aged wiring

Original rubber or lead-sheathed cable insulation degrades over decades. If your property hasn't been rewired in 30+ years, a full inspection is essential — deterioration is invisible until a fault occurs.

Overloaded circuits

Modern lifestyles draw far more power than period circuits were designed for — EV chargers, heat pumps, smart home systems. We assess capacity and upgrade where needed.

Failed EICRs

Landlord EICRs on older properties frequently flag C2 defects on consumer units, bonding and circuit protection. We carry out remedial work to bring properties to compliance.

Listed building constraints

Listed buildings and conservation areas require sensitive electrical work — concealed wiring, sympathetic accessories and approved routing. We have extensive experience across prime London.

Insufficient sockets

Period properties were built for a different era. Additional socket circuits and USB outlets bring them up to modern living standards without compromising their character.

Why It Matters

Electrical safety is non-negotiable

Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of house fires in the UK. In period London properties — where original wiring may be decades old — the risk is materially higher. An EICR is the only formal way to assess whether your installation is safe, and a modern consumer unit is the single most effective safety upgrade you can make.

For landlords, a valid EICR every 5 years is a legal requirement — failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000. For homeowners buying a property, an EICR should be part of your survey. And for anyone living in a period property, a consumer unit with RCD protection is the minimum standard of electrical safety in 2026.
