Rewires, consumer unit upgrades, new circuits and lighting for Brixton flats and houses.
We carry out electrical work across Brixton, in SW2 and SW9, mostly as part of renovations, extensions and kitchen projects. Many flats here were wired when the houses were first converted and have been added to since, so a refurbishment is a good time to rewire properly and bring each flat’s installation up to date.
In converted houses the wiring often shows its history: old cable runs, extra sockets taken off existing circuits and a consumer unit that predates current standards. Rewiring while floors and walls are open costs much less, and makes far less mess, than doing it later.
We rewire flats and houses, upgrade consumer units, add circuits and sockets, and fit lighting for new kitchens and extensions. Work the building regulations class as notifiable is tested, certified and notified as required.

Usually alongside other building work.
In a converted house or block, your flat’s wiring connects to supplies and meters that are often in a shared cupboard or hallway, and the communal lighting belongs to the freeholder. We work out what is yours and what is shared before quoting, and arrange access to common parts with the managing agent.
If you let a flat in Brixton, the law in England requires the electrics to be inspected and tested at least every five years. Where the report lists faults, we can carry out the remedial work, ideally alongside any refurbishment so the flat is only disrupted once.
