Wandsworth properties range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian conversions to new-build riverside apartments. Each type presents unique electrical challenges:

Older homes may have outdated wiring.

Lack of earthing upgrades.

Professional electricians in Wandsworth understand these issues and ensure compliance with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, Part P Building Regulations, and Landlord electrical safety standards. Hiring experienced local contractors reduces risk, ensures certification, and protects property value.
