Can you rewire without damaging period cornicing?

In most W8 houses, yes. We route through floor voids, cupboards and existing chases, and where a route would damage plasterwork we propose an alternative before starting.

Do you install smart lighting systems?

We install and commission retrofit-friendly systems including Lutron and app-controlled dimming, and can work alongside an AV integrator when one is appointed.

Can you provide separate metering for a garden flat?

Yes. We install sub-mains and separate metering for SW7 and W8 conversions, coordinating with the supplier where a new meter position is needed.

Electrical · Kensington W8

Electricians in Kensington

W8 and SW7 are full of tall period houses with original cornicing, garden-flat conversions and a growing number of smart-home retrofits. The challenge in Kensington is nearly always getting modern cabling and control systems into a building that was never designed for either — without damaging what makes the property worth what it is.

Kensington electrical work we take on

Considered work, delivered with care.

Kensington jobs generally fall into three groups: smart-system retrofits, discreet rewires in listed or conservation-area houses, and compliance testing for let flats.

Smart home retrofits

Lutron, Loxone and app-controlled lighting installed into existing W8 houses, with keypads sited to suit the room rather than the cabling.

Discreet rewiring

Cable routed through voids, cupboards and existing chases so plaster mouldings and original joinery stay untouched.

Garden and lower-ground flats

Damp-affected circuits, sub-main upgrades and separate metering for SW7 conversions sorted properly.

Fuse board upgrades

Old boards replaced with 18th-edition units, surge protection added and the schedule written out clearly for future contractors.
