Electricians in Balham

Rewires, consumer unit upgrades, new circuits and lighting on Balham homes.

We carry out electrical work for homeowners across Balham and SW12, usually as part of a renovation, extension or kitchen project. That runs from a full rewire of an older house to a new consumer unit, extra circuits and sockets, or the lighting in a new open-plan room.

Balham and SW12

WHAT WE DO

Electrical work in Balham

Older Balham houses often have wiring that is past its best, with too few sockets and an old fuseboard. A renovation or extension is the natural time to put that right, because the walls and floors are already open.

We handle rewires, consumer unit upgrades, new circuits, sockets and lighting, and the electrical work an extension or new kitchen needs. Electrical work is notifiable under the building regulations, so it is tested, certified and signed off correctly.

IN BALHAM

Wiring in Balham's period homes

Balham's Victorian and Edwardian houses were not wired for how we live now, so a renovation is the sensible time to rewire, add sockets and update the fuseboard while the walls and floors are open. On a conversion flat we work within the freeholder and lease conditions.

GOOD TO KNOW

Electrical questions from Balham homeowners

Do you take on electrical work on its own?

We mainly carry out electrical work as part of a renovation, extension or kitchen project, which is the sensible time to do it while the walls are open.

Is a rewire worth doing during a renovation?

Usually yes. If the wiring is old, doing it while the floors and walls are open during a renovation causes far less mess and cost than later.

Will the work be certified?

Yes. Electrical work is notifiable under the building regulations, so it is tested, certified and signed off correctly.

Can you add sockets and lighting to a new room?

Yes. New sockets, circuits and lighting for an open-plan room or extension are part of the work we do.

Do you upgrade old fuseboards?

Yes. We replace old fuseboards with a modern consumer unit as a standalone job or as part of a wider project.
