Electricianin Earlsfield

A new consumer unit is one of the most common jobs in older terraces, and it is usually straightforward. The old board is removed, the circuits are checked and connected to a modern unit, and every circuit is tested before the supply is switched back on.

We ask a few things first: where the board is, what type it is and whether the house has been altered. On the day, we tell you how long the power will need to be off so that you can plan around it. When we finish, you receive certification and we show you which circuit is which. If testing turns up a circuit that cannot safely be reconnected, we tell you at once and explain what to do about it.

Rented flats and houses are common in Earlsfield, and landlords need to know the installation is in good order. An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is an inspection and test of the existing wiring that produces a written report on its condition.

We carry out EICRs and landlord electrical improvements. If a report lists work that needs doing, we can quote to complete it and re-test afterwards, although you can use another contractor if you prefer. For a landlord with a single flat or several, we plan the visit around access, so tell us when you call how the property is let and who holds the keys.

Earlsfield homeowners often refurbish kitchens or convert lofts to gain space, and each project changes what the electrics need to do. Planning circuits, sockets and lighting before the plasterer arrives saves disruption later.

We carry out electrical upgrades during renovation and can fit smart home and lighting systems, for example lighting scenes or controls you can use from a phone. If you are working with a builder, we agree with them when we need to be on site. Tell us what you are planning and we will explain what the wiring needs to include.
