Lighting and Electrical Work in Chelsea
Light fittings, switches and small electrical jobs, completed properly and within what is legally permitted.
A surprising number of small electrical jobs around the home do not need a full rewire, just careful, competent work. We replace light fittings, switches and sockets like-for-like, and handle straightforward electrical maintenance that falls within what a handyman is legally permitted to carry out.
Notifiable electrical work under Part P building regulations, such as new circuits or work in bathrooms and kitchens, needs a qualified, registered electrician. We are upfront about this from the first message so nobody is caught out.
