Prime Build Works Limited

Electricians in Clapham

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.

WHAT WE DO

Electrical work in Clapham

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.

Wiring older and listed Clapham houses

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.

GOOD TO KNOW

Electrical questions from Clapham homeowners

Will my consumer unit cope with a new kitchen extension?

Often it needs upgrading. Induction hobs, ovens and underfloor heating add load, so we check the board and the supply at the start.

Should I rewire while we extend?

If the wiring is old, this is the cheapest time to do it, because floors and walls are already open.

Can you rewire a listed house?

Yes, with care. We plan routes that avoid damaging original features, and some of the work may need listed building consent.

Do you plan lighting for extensions and lofts?

Yes. We work out lighting for kitchen-diners and loft rooms with you, including dimming and separate circuits for each area.

Can you check our wiring before we renovate?

Yes. A condition report shows the state of the existing installation, so you know whether to budget for a rewire.
