Electrician in Chigwell

Many larger detached and semi-detached family homes, including older properties where wiring and fuse boxes may be original.

Chigwell has plenty of larger detached and semi-detached family homes, and many of them have been lived in, extended and redecorated over several decades. That history matters for the electrics. A house that has gained a kitchen extension, a loft room or an extra bathroom often has wiring that was altered at different times by different people, and in older properties the original wiring and fuse box can still be doing the job they were fitted for long ago.

When we are asked to look at a home in IG7, the first job is usually to find out what is actually there. We test the existing circuits, check how they are protected and look at the condition of the consumer unit. From that we can tell you plainly whether you need a new consumer unit, a partial rewire of the areas that cause concern, or a full rewire, and we quote for the work that is genuinely needed rather than the biggest job on the list.

In a bigger house a rewire is often best planned around whatever else is happening at the property, so we can fit in with decorators, builders or kitchen fitters and keep disruption down. Buckhurst Hill, Loughton and Woodford are all close by, so if you are a landlord with properties across several of these areas we can look after the safety reports and any follow-up work together.
