Electrics in Central London
NICEIC Approved Electricians | Rewiring, EICR Certificates & Emergency Repairs
Electrics in Central London
Last week, a Belgravia landlord called us about a failed EICR inspection. His Victorian townhouse had original 1960s wiring, cloth-covered cables, no earth protection, and aluminium wiring in the kitchen. The letting agent refused to sign off on the property. He needed a complete rewire before his tenant moved in 12 days away.
We rewired the entire four-bedroom townhouse in nine days. Full EICR pass, new consumer unit with RCD protection, all certifications provided, tenant moved in on schedule.
That’s what electrics in Central London requires: NICEIC-approved electricians who understand period properties, tight timelines, and building regulations. Not part-qualified sparks who cut corners and leave properties unsafe.

We handle everything from emergency electrical repairs to complete house rewires in listed buildings.

What Our Chelsea Clients Say About Our Electrical services
Read testimonials from satisfied homeowners across Chelsea, Knightsbridge, and Belgravia who trust us with their property renovation and maintenance needs.
“At 1:23am we had an electrical fire in our wall smoke alarm screaming, burning smell, wall getting hot. We called Chelsea Property R&M at 1:26am and a qualified NICEIC electrician answered immediately, arriving just 26 minutes later on a Saturday night with thermal imaging equipment and proper tools. He found the problem (a previous cowboy electrician had installed a cheap junction box incorrectly), made it safe that night, returned at 10am to complete the job, and found three more dangerous junctions from the same incompetent work. Our flat could have burned down, but instead we had minimal damage and were back to normal by Sunday if you need an emergency electrician in Central London, save their number NOW.”
James & Victoria Ashworth, Cadogan Gardens, Knightsbridge SW3
Emergency Electrical Fire - Response: 26 minutes - Cost: £850
“I was selling my Chelsea townhouse for £1.85M when the buyer’s survey revealed dangerous 1950s wiring and their solicitor demanded a complete rewire or they’d pull out with just 4 weeks to exchange, three other electricians either couldn’t meet the deadline or weren’t NICEIC approved. Chelsea Property R&M quoted £9,200, promised 12 working days, and delivered exactly that they understood it was a Grade II listed building, preserved every original feature, and provided all the certificates the solicitor needed. They saved my sale, saved my onward purchase, and saved a chain of four families who were all depending on this transaction. If you need rewiring in a listed building under time pressure, call these people NICEIC approval matters, experience with heritage properties matters, and delivering on promises matters.”
Dr. Sarah Chen, Cale Street, Chelsea SW3
Complete Victorian House Rewire - Timeline: 12 days - Cost: £9,200
“My insurance company refused to renew my policy unless I upgraded my 1970s fuse box by March 1st, I called February 10th and most electricians were booked 3-4 weeks out, but Chelsea Property R&M came to assess the work two days later, quoted £850, and completed the installation six days after that. They finished in just 5 hours 45 minutes, provided all the certificates the same afternoon, and I forwarded them to my insurance company who confirmed compliance the next day and renewed my policy. What impressed me most was they understood the urgency, arrived exactly on time, worked efficiently, and my insurance premium actually went DOWN £40/year because of the safety upgrades. If your insurance company has asked for electrical upgrades, don’t wait these people understand deadlines, work fast, and deliver exactly what insurers require.”

Consumer Unit Upgrade - Timeline: 5h 45mins - Cost: £850

NICEIC Approved Contractors
We're NICEIC approved, the gold standard for electrical contractors. This means our work is independently inspected, our electricians are qualified to 18th Edition standards, and we're authorised to self-certify building regulations compliance.
Period Property Specialists
Victorian and Georgian electrics in Central London present unique challenges. No modern cabling routes, solid walls requiring chasing, heritage ceilings we can't damage, listed building restrictions, working around original features. We've rewired dozens of period Central London properties. We know how to run cables without destroying cornicing, how to work in listed buildings, which approaches conservation officers approve. We use surface-mounted trunking where chasing isn't possible, period-appropriate switches and sockets where visible.
All Work Certified
Every electrical job receives appropriate certification: * Minor works certificates (socket additions, light fittings) * Electrical installation certificates (rewires, consumer units) * EICR certificates (safety inspections) * Building regulations compliance certificates * EV charger installation certificates Without certificates, work is essentially worthless. Insurance won't pay out, solicitors won't complete property sales, and letting agents won't accept properties.
Building Regulations Compliance
All electrical work must comply with Part P Building Regulations. As NICEIC-approved contractors, we self-certify compliance and provide certificates directly to building control. You don't pay separate building control fees. Non-approved electricians must notify building control separately (costs £200-£400 extra), and their work must be inspected. Our NICEIC approval means we inspect ourselves and provide certification directly.
