The housing round here

Orpington is mostly 1930s housing, the classic bay-fronted semis around Crofton, Goddington Park and out towards Petts Wood. Houses of that age usually cope fine until you start adding modern loads to them, and then the original fuse board becomes the weak point. We replace a lot of fuse boards here, and it is often the single best safety upgrade you can make to a 1930s house.

The other big one in Orpington is EV chargers. These streets have driveways, which makes home charging straightforward, and we install and commission chargers including the DNO notification. We will also tell you honestly if your existing board needs upgrading first rather than finding out on installation day.

Great service. Tim was quick to respond to my message and arrived on time. He resolved my electrical issues quickly and professionally and I appreciated the manner in which he communicated and engaged. A strong service minded electrician who is reliable, what more could I ask for.
