All domestic electrical work is carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. Notifiable work is certified and submitted to Building Control under Part P of the Building Regulations, giving you the documentation you need for home insurance, mortgage, and property sale purposes.
NICEIC Approved Domestic Electricians in London
Choosing a NICEIC approved electrician gives you the confidence that the work is carried out by a qualified, competent professional who is regularly assessed against the highest industry standards. NICEIC approval means we can self-certify notifiable domestic electrical work with Building Control on your behalf — you do not need to apply for a separate inspection or pay a Local Authority notification fee.

Our Domestic Electrical Services
We provide a comprehensive range of domestic electrical services for London homes, from straightforward fault-finding and repairs to complete rewiring projects. Our electricians work neatly, protect your furnishings, and leave the property clean and tidy on completion.
Full and Partial House Rewiring
Old or deteriorating wiring is a significant fire and safety risk. Signs that rewiring may be needed include frequent tripping, burning smells, discoloured sockets, or a property with rubber-insulated or aluminium wiring. We carry out full and partial rewiring of domestic properties including houses, flats, and converted properties. All rewiring is tested on completion and a new Electrical Installation Certificate is issued. We work as efficiently as possible to minimise disruption, and can work in stages on occupied properties.
Consumer Unit Replacement (Fuse Box Upgrade)
Older consumer units with rewirable fuse wire or early MCBs without RCD protection may not provide the level of protection required by current BS 7671 wiring regulations. We replace outdated consumer units with modern split-load or dual-RCD consumer units that include both MCB and RCD protection on all circuits. Consumer unit replacement is notifiable work under Part P — we handle all Building Control notification on your behalf and issue a completion certificate.
Additional Sockets, Lighting, and Electrical Circuits
We install additional 13A socket outlets, USB sockets, lighting circuits, loft lighting, outdoor sockets and lighting, garden power supplies, and any other new electrical circuit in domestic properties. New circuit installation and additions to existing circuits are carried out to BS 7671 and tested and certified on completion. All work is carried out with minimal surface damage where possible, with neat cable routes and professional finishing.

Electrical emergencies can occur at any time. Our 24-hour emergency electricians respond to domestic electrical emergencies across London including total power loss, circuit breakers or RCDs that will not reset, burning smells or signs of overheating, exposed live wires, and electrical faults on critical appliances.

Electrical Safety Checks and EICR for London Homes
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the recognised method for assessing the safety and condition of the fixed electrical installation in a residential property. Since 2020, landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR for all privately rented properties, with a maximum inspection period of 5 years.
We carry out EICRs for landlords, homeowners, and prospective buyers across London. Our EICR reports clearly identify any defects, classify their severity using the standard C1, C2, C3, and FI coding system, and provide clear recommendations for any remedial work required. Where an EICR is unsatisfactory, we can carry out the necessary remedial work and retest, issuing a satisfactory report on completion.
Areas Covered – Domestic Electricians Across London
Our domestic electricians cover all London boroughs including Central London, North London, South London, East London, and West London. We regularly work in areas including Islington, Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Richmond, Kingston, Bromley, Croydon, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham, Waltham Forest, Haringey, Enfield, Barnet, Harrow, Hillingdon, Ealing, Hounslow, and all other London boroughs.
Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation
Working smoke alarms save lives. The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 require landlords to install a smoke alarm on every storey of a rental property and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). We install interlinked mains-powered smoke alarms to BS 5839-6 and carbon monoxide detectors to BS EN 50291. Mains-powered interlinked alarms are significantly more reliable than battery-only alarms and are recommended for all homes.
Security Lighting Installation
External security lighting deters intruders and improves safety around your home. We install PIR-activated security floodlights, dusk-to-dawn lighting, and driveway lighting for domestic properties across London. All external light fittings are correctly rated for outdoor use with an appropriate IP rating. External wiring runs in armoured cable or conduit where exposed, and all outdoor electrical work complies with BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations.
EV Charging Point Installation
We install dedicated EV charging points for domestic properties, providing a safe, faster, and more convenient way to charge your electric vehicle at home. A dedicated 7kW home EV charger charges most electric vehicles overnight from empty. We install OZEV-approved EV chargers with full testing and certification. Home EV charger installation is notifiable work under Part P and we handle all Building Control notification on your behalf.
Electric Cooker and Oven Installation
Electric cookers and range ovens require a dedicated high-current circuit — typically a 6mm cable on a 32A or 45A circuit — that must be installed or checked by a qualified electrician before the appliance is connected. We install new cooker circuits, replace damaged or insufficient existing circuits, fit the cooker connection unit, and make the final connection to the appliance. All cooker circuit work is tested and certified on completion.

Storage Heater Repair and Replacement
Storage heaters use off-peak electricity tariffs (Economy 7 or Economy 10) to store heat overnight for release during the day. When a storage heater stops working or becomes inefficient, it can significantly increase your energy bills. We diagnose and repair all types of storage heater faults including faulty elements, thermostats, and charge controls, and supply and install replacement storage heaters where repair is not cost-effective. All storage heater electrical connections are tested and certified on completion.

Domestic Electrical Services – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to notify Building Control for domestic electrical work?
Certain types of domestic electrical work are “notifiable” under Part P of the Building Regulations and must be notified to Building Control. As a NICEIC approved contractor, we can self-certify and notify all notifiable work on your behalf — you do not need to arrange a separate Building Control inspection.
How do I know if my wiring needs replacing?
Signs that rewiring may be needed include rubber-insulated or aluminium wiring, a consumer unit without RCD protection, persistent tripping, burning smells or discoloured sockets, or a property that has not been rewired in over 25 years. An EICR will identify whether rewiring or upgrades are required.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We regularly carry out electrical work in occupied rental properties and work with landlords and tenants to minimise disruption. Where significant work is required, we plan the programme to reduce time without power to an absolute minimum.
