We offer a full spectrum of electrical services, providing a comprehensive range to meet the diverse needs of clients in Lewisham. Whether you have a minor repair or a major installation, we have the skills and resources to handle it.

Residential Electrical Services

Your home should be a sanctuary, and electrical safety is paramount to maintaining that security. Our domestic Lewisham electricians help homeowners, landlords, and residents living in a flat maintain safe, efficient, and modern electrical systems.

Electrical Installations and Upgrades: From installing additional sockets in a home office to setting up new connections for a kitchen renovation, we handle all types of domestic installations. Our team can also have new appliances installed safely and professionally, ensuring peace of mind for your household. We ensure that your new additions integrate seamlessly with your existing system and meet all current safety regulations. We also make sure that all appliances are properly connected and compliant with safety standards.
Full and Partial Rewires: Many older properties in Lewisham still rely on outdated wiring that may not be able to cope with modern electrical demands. Old wiring can pose significant fire risks. We specialise in full and partial rewires, replacing old cabling with safe, modern alternatives. Our Lewisham electrician team can also replace faulty wiring and fix any related electrical problems during the rewiring process. While rewiring can be a disruptive process, our experienced team works strategically to minimise disturbance to your daily life and decor.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades: The consumer unit is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If you still have an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuses, it may not provide adequate protection against electric shocks or fire. We upgrade fuse boxes to modern units featuring RCD (Residual Current Device) and SPD (Surge Protection Device) protection, significantly enhancing the safety of your home.
Indoor and Outdoor Lighting: Lighting transforms the look and feel of a property. Our team of Lewisham electricians are experts in installing and upgrading lights for both indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring optimal safety, aesthetics, and functionality. Our Lewisham electricians install energy-efficient LED lighting solutions that reduce your energy bills while improving aesthetics. Our services also extend to outdoor areas, including security lighting to deter intruders and garden lighting to create the perfect ambience for your patio or driveway.
Electrical Safety Inspections & EICR: For landlords, maintaining electrical safety is a legal requirement. Our electrical inspection service includes a professional assessment with visual checks and electrical safety testing to ensure your property meets all safety standards.
We provide thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) to verify the safety of the electrical installation in rental properties. We also offer inspections for homebuyers who want to ensure the wiring in a potential new home is safe before they purchase.

Emergency Lighting Systems: Compliance with fire safety regulations is mandatory for commercial premises. We design, install, and maintain emergency lighting systems that ensure your staff and customers can safely evacuate the building in the event of a power failure.

About Lewisham

The town of Lewisham has a long and rich history dating back to Saxon times. It is believed that the name ‘Lewisham’ derives from the Old English ‘lēohþ’ meaning ‘meadow’ or ‘hill’, and ‘hām’ meaning ‘homestead’ or ‘village’.

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Lewisham was recorded as ‘Levesham’ and was held by the Bishop of Bayeux from Odo of Bayeux. The manor was later passed to the Earl of Leicester, and then to the Crown during the reign of Edward VI.

During the 17th century, the area became known for its market gardens, which supplied London with fruit and vegetables. The arrival of the railways in the 19th century led to a growth in population and industry, and the town expanded rapidly.

Today, Lewisham is a vibrant and diverse town, with a strong sense of community. It is home to a number of landmark buildings and features, including Lewisham Clock Tower, Mountsfield Park and Ladywell Fields.
