Electrician in Chingford

A mix of Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s houses and flats, including homes where original wiring may still be in use.

Chingford is made up of Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s houses and flats, which means a lot of homes where some of the original wiring may still be in use. That wiring was designed for much lower demand than a modern household places on it, with its extra appliances, home working and, increasingly, electric vehicles.

We work across the E4 postcode district and regularly help owners choose between three routes: a consumer unit replacement, a partial rewire of the circuits that worry them, or a full rewire. The right answer depends on what the testing shows. In period houses a rewire also means thinking about access, floorboards, plaster and decoration, so we talk through how the work will be done and what you need to prepare before we start.

Flats in the area are often let out, and landlords need to keep the electrical installation safe and in date. We carry out EICRs and any remedial work that follows, and can deal with the consumer unit at the same time if the report recommends it. Woodford, Loughton and Buckhurst Hill are close to Chingford, so we can look after several nearby properties in the same conversation.
