Do I need an EICR for selling or renting my property?
Yes. In London, landlords must have a valid EICR every 5 years. For selling, it’s not legally required but strongly recommended because buyers and solicitors often ask for it.How long does a consumer unit (fusebox) replacement take?
Usually 3–5 hours, depending on the property size and existing wiring condition.
Are LED lights really worth upgrading to?
Yes. LEDs cut energy use by up to 80%, last longer, and provide cleaner, brighter light—ideal for London homes with high energy prices.
Can I install an EV charger without upgrading my fusebox?
Sometimes. It depends on your main fuse, load, and earthing. Many London properties require a small additional fusebox or load assessment before installation.
Why does my RCD keep tripping?
It’s usually a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, or moisture in a circuit. A professional fault find will pinpoint the issue quickly.
How often should I replace my smoke alarms?
Every 10 years. Older alarms lose sensitivity and won’t keep you safe.
Can you add more sockets to my home?
Yes. Extra sockets can be installed almost anywhere, as long as the circuit load is safe and compliant.
Why do my lights flicker?
Common causes are loose connections, failing transformers, poor-quality bulbs, or overloaded circuits. It needs checking before it becomes a hazard.
Do you charge for quotes?
No — quotes are free, and there’s no obligation.
Can I use an extension lead permanently?
No. They’re for temporary use. Long-term use increases the risk of overheating and fire.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. We cover London with 24/7 emergency support for power loss, dangerous faults, and urgent repairs.
How long does a full house rewire take?
Typically 3–7 days, depending on the property size and access.
