Read MoreCertified Electricians London Ltd provides professional electrical services across North East London and Central North London, helping homeowners, landlords and businesses with everything from everyday electrical repairs to larger installations and improvement projects.
Electrical systems are an essential part of virtually every property, but they are often taken for granted until something goes wrong. A circuit that starts tripping, an inadequate number of sockets, outdated wiring or an electrical installation that needs modifying can quickly become inconvenient.
Our electricians provide practical solutions for both planned and unexpected electrical work, with safety and quality at the centre of the service.
Homes place greater demands on their electrical installations than ever before. Kitchens contain more electrical equipment, home working has increased the need for convenient power supplies, and homeowners increasingly want improved lighting, smart technology and electric vehicle charging.
Our residential electricians can help adapt your electrical installation to meet these changing requirements.
Services include electrical repairs, lighting installations, additional sockets, consumer unit work, fault finding, electrical testing, rewiring and new electrical installations.
If you are renovating, extending or altering a property, involving a qualified electrician at an appropriate stage can also help ensure that the electrical requirements are properly considered alongside the rest of the project.
A new electrical installation should be planned around how the space will be used.
For homeowners, this could mean installing additional sockets where they are actually needed, improving lighting in a kitchen or living area, adding outdoor power or introducing dedicated circuits for new equipment.
For landlords and property managers, electrical work might form part of refurbishment, maintenance or improvements between tenancies.
Our electricians can undertake individual installations as well as electrical work forming part of larger property projects.
When an electrical system develops a fault, identifying the cause is the first step towards putting it right.
A circuit breaker that trips repeatedly, for example, is responding to a problem somewhere on the circuit. Simply resetting it repeatedly does not address the underlying issue.
Our electrical repair service includes fault finding and diagnosis so that the cause can be established before remedial work is recommended.
We can investigate problems affecting sockets, lighting, circuits, consumer units and other parts of a fixed electrical installation.
If you notice an electrical problem becoming more frequent, it is sensible to have it investigated rather than waiting for the installation to fail completely.
Unexpected electrical faults can happen at extremely inconvenient times. More importantly, some faults can indicate a potential safety problem.
Our emergency electricians can respond to urgent electrical issues and investigate what has caused the problem.
Examples can include sudden loss of power, repeated tripping, damaged electrical equipment, signs of overheating or other faults that require prompt professional attention.
The priority during emergency electrical work is to identify the fault and make the affected installation safe. The electrician can then determine whether an immediate repair is possible or whether additional remedial work is required.
If there is an immediate risk involving electricity, avoid touching damaged equipment or exposed components and seek professional assistance.
Renovating a property is an ideal opportunity to review its electrical installation.
Decorating around old socket positions or completing major building work before considering the electrics can result in additional disruption later. Planning electrical work earlier allows power, lighting and other requirements to be incorporated into the refurbishment.
Depending on the project, this might include:
For larger refurbishments, we can discuss the proposed use of each area and determine the electrical work required.
Older properties can contain electrical installations that have been modified repeatedly over many years. Additions made at different times can result in an installation that no longer suits the property or the electrical demands placed upon it.
Rewiring may be recommended where the condition, age or design of the existing installation means more extensive improvement is appropriate.
A full house rewire can involve replacing existing wiring and reviewing circuits, sockets, switches and lighting points throughout the property. Partial rewiring may be more appropriate in other circumstances.
The correct approach depends on the individual installation, which is why assessment and testing are important before substantial electrical rewiring is undertaken.
Our commercial electricians support businesses requiring dependable electrical services in North East and Central North London.
Commercial premises can have significant electrical requirements, particularly where multiple employees, equipment, lighting systems and other electrical loads are involved.
We can help with planned electrical installation work, repairs, alterations, lighting, maintenance and fault finding.
If you are fitting out or refurbishing an office, our electricians can also assist with the electrical elements of the project, helping ensure power and lighting are positioned appropriately for the proposed workspace.
Electrical maintenance can help businesses keep their premises operational and address defects before they lead to greater disruption.
Problems such as damaged sockets, faulty lighting, deteriorating accessories or circuits that behave unpredictably should be investigated rather than allowed to persist.
For businesses, dealing with these issues promptly can also reduce disruption to staff, customers and day-to-day operations.
Whether you need a one-off commercial electrical repair or planned improvements to your premises, contact our team to discuss the work required.
Electric vehicle charging is becoming an increasingly important consideration for homeowners and businesses.
