Electricianin Southfields

Much of Southfields is terraced housing, the sort of home that has been lived in, extended and redecorated by several owners over the years. Electrics in a house like that tend to grow in layers: an original supply, a few later additions, a loft or kitchen circuit added by someone else, and a fuse board that has not kept pace with how many appliances the family now runs.

Our domestic work for houses like these includes:

We look at what is already installed before recommending anything, so you are not paying to replace what can safely stay.

Older houses often still have a fuse board with rewirable fuses or an early consumer unit without the protection modern homes expect. A consumer unit upgrade replaces it with a modern board fitted with the safety devices current regulations call for.

It is also a job that can be done without a full rewire, so it suits owners who want a safer supply now and are not ready for building work. Before we quote, we look at the condition of the circuits the new board will be feeding, because there is little point fitting a new unit to wiring that needs attention. If something does need attention, we tell you what and why, and you decide how to proceed.

Not every job is a big one. Many households simply want lighting that suits the way the rooms are used, more sockets where the furniture has ended up, or a cleaner arrangement in a kitchen extension. Our lighting installation and upgrade work covers ceiling lights, LED downlights, under-cabinet and garden lighting, and replacing tired fittings.

We also fit smart home installations, from app-controlled lighting to circuits prepared for the equipment you want to add. If you are planning a renovation, it makes sense to have the cabling sorted while the walls are open, so it is worth speaking to us before the plasterer arrives rather than after.
