Electrical Services We Provide in Watford
Consumer Unit Upgrades
If your fuse board is old, plastic-cased, or lacking the RCD protection required by current regulations, a consumer unit upgrade brings your home up to modern standards. We install new metal-clad consumer units with full RCD or RCBO protection throughout — improving safety and future-proofing your installation for additional circuits such as EV chargers, garden offices, and smart home systems.
EV Charger Installation
We are specialist EV charger installers and one of the most experienced teams in Watford for home charging point installations. We install Zappi, Easee, Ohme, and Hypervolt chargers for homeowners across the area, and we handle the grant application on your behalf. If you are unsure which charger suits your home, we will advise honestly — no manufacturer affiliations, no upselling. See our dedicated EV charger installation page for Watford.
House Rewiring
Older properties in Watford — particularly Victorian terraces and inter-war semis — often have ageing wiring that no longer meets current standards. We carry out full and partial rewires with minimal disruption, leaving your home safer and fully certified.
Fault Finding and Electrical Repairs
Tripping breakers, dead sockets, flickering lights — electrical faults in the home can be frustrating and potentially dangerous. We diagnose and resolve electrical faults quickly, using systematic testing rather than guesswork, and at fixed prices where possible.
Lighting Installation
From recessed LED downlights to outdoor security lighting and garden lighting, we plan and install lighting circuits that work for your home and your budget. We can also advise on smart lighting systems and how they integrate with your existing wiring.
EICR Testing and Certification
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) gives you a full picture of the condition and safety of your home’s electrics. It is required every five years for rental properties by law, and recommended for any home over ten years old or when purchasing a property. We can arrange EICR inspections for Watford homeowners and landlords through our trusted partners — certificates issued promptly on completion.
Additional Sockets and Circuits
Need more sockets in the kitchen? A dedicated circuit for a garden office or outbuilding? A connection for an electric cooker or induction hob? We add circuits and outlets throughout Watford homes on a daily basis, always with the correct certification and at a fixed price agreed upfront.

Watford Housing Stock: What We Know
Watford has a varied mix of housing that we know well from years of working in the area. Victorian and Edwardian terraces are common around the town centre and the St Albans Road corridor, and often have rewiring that dates back several decades.
The inter-war and post-war semis found across Nascot Wood, Oxhey, and Leggatts typically have consumer units that benefit from upgrading. Newer developments around North Watford and Leavesden Green tend to have more modern electrics, but often require additional circuits as homeowners adapt their properties — EV chargers and garden offices being the two most common requests we receive in these areas.
Understanding local housing stock means we can give you a realistic picture of what work is likely to be involved before we even arrive on site — and a more accurate quote as a result.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How quickly can you attend to a job in Watford?
Being locally based means we can typically offer appointments within a few days for standard work. For urgent faults — particularly those involving safety risks — we will always try to prioritise.
-
Do I need to be home during the work?
For most jobs, yes — we need access to the property and the consumer unit. For EICR inspections, someone aged 18 or over should be present throughout. We will always confirm access requirements when booking.
-
Can you provide a quote before starting any work?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all planned electrical work. For straightforward jobs we can often quote over the phone or by email. For larger projects — rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installations — we may request photos or a brief site visit to give you an accurate, fixed-price figure.
-
Do you carry out work for Watford landlords?
Yes. We can arrange EICR inspections and produce the certificates required under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, as well as all other electrical work relevant to rental properties in the Watford area.
