Rewires, consumer units, new circuits and lighting for Clapham homes, usually alongside building work.
We carry out electrical work across Clapham and SW4, mostly as part of extensions, loft conversions and renovations. A Clapham house getting a side-return and a loft usually needs new circuits, a larger consumer unit and lighting designed for the new rooms, and it is often the right moment to rewire the rest of the house too.
Adding a kitchen extension and a loft puts extra load on an older installation: induction hobs, ovens, underfloor heating and more lighting. We check the existing supply and consumer unit early, so any upgrade is planned rather than discovered halfway through the build.
We rewire, upgrade consumer units, add circuits and sockets, and plan lighting for open-plan spaces and loft rooms. Notifiable work is tested, certified and notified to building control.
Covers: Rewires, consumer units, circuits, lighting
Common here: Extension and loft circuits
Older houses: Cable routes planned around original features
Covered: SW4, plus SW8, SW9, SW11 and SW12 edges
Mostly planned alongside other building work.
Rewiring a Georgian or early Victorian house means getting cables through solid walls, lath and plaster ceilings and floors without damaging what makes the house special. We plan routes through floor voids and existing service runs, and avoid chasing into cornices, panelling or decorative plaster.
In a listed house, new cable routes, sockets fixed to original joinery or changes to historic fittings can need listed building consent. We agree the routes before starting, so the work can be signed off without surprises.
Existing installation, supply and consumer unit checked.
Circuits, cable routes and lighting agreed with you.
First fix while walls and floors are open, second fix at the end.
Installation tested, certified and notified.
Often it needs upgrading. Induction hobs, ovens and underfloor heating add load, so we check the board and the supply at the start.
If the wiring is old, this is the cheapest time to do it, because floors and walls are already open.
Yes, with care. We plan routes that avoid damaging original features, and some of the work may need listed building consent.
Yes. We work out lighting for kitchen-diners and loft rooms with you, including dimming and separate circuits for each area.
Yes. A condition report shows the state of the existing installation, so you know whether to budget for a rewire.
Electrical is one of ten building services we offer across Clapham and SW4. If your project needs more than one, we run them as a single job.
