Electrical work in a dwelling is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Every circuit we install is tested and certificated, and you get the paperwork at handover — which is what your solicitor will ask for when you eventually sell.
Victorian terraces and villas through Stoke Newington and Clapton, warehouse conversions around Shoreditch, and substantial post-war estate stock. Extensive conservation area coverage — check before assuming permitted development.
That housing mix matters more than it sounds. It determines whether your electrical wiring is a straightforward job or a structural one — how the loads transfer, whether a Party Wall Award is likely, and what the council will accept on the elevation. We survey before we price, so the number you get reflects your actual house rather than an average one.

Part P and certification
Electrical installation work in a dwelling is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Notifiable work includes new circuits, consumer unit replacement, and work in special locations such as bathrooms.
The installation is designed, inspected and tested to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. On completion you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate with the schedule of test results, and the work is notified to building control — either through a competent person scheme or by a building control application.
That certificate is the document that matters years later. It is what a buyer's solicitor asks for, and what an insurer will want to see after any incident.
On a rewire, the practical decisions are made early: where the consumer unit goes, how many circuits the house actually needs, and whether the incoming supply is adequate. Those are cheap decisions at first fix and expensive ones afterwards.
Those are the national rules. In Hackney they are administered by London Borough of Hackney, and they can be tightened locally by a conservation area or an Article 4 direction covering your street. We confirm the position for your address in writing before you commit to anything.
Working in Hackney
We are based in Chadwell Heath, RM6. Hackney is a regular run for us, and we resource jobs there properly rather than stretching a crew across the city. Scaffolding licences, skip permits and highway licences are all applied for in our name as part of the contract, because they have to be — they are the contractor's responsibility, not yours.
Access shapes the programme in London more than anywhere else. Narrow streets, controlled parking and shared alleys all affect how materials get in and waste gets out, and we plan for it at survey stage rather than discovering it in week two. Where a job needs a wait-and-load skip or a grab lorry instead of a standing skip, we say so in the quote.
You get a named project manager for the duration — Jagpreet (Sandeep) or Simarjit (Sonu) depending on where the job sits — and you pay in arrears of work completed rather than handing over a deposit and hoping.

Answers
Electrical Wiring in Hackney — common questions
Do I need planning permission for electrical wiring in Hackney?
It depends on the property type and what is proposed. Many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, but those rights do not apply to flats and are restricted in conservation areas or where an Article 4 direction applies. We check the planning position for your specific address before quoting, and tell you in writing which route applies.
How do you price the work?
From a site survey, written up as a fixed and itemised scope before any deposit is discussed. If something genuinely unforeseen appears once work is opened up, it is priced and agreed in writing before we continue — never added to the final invoice after the fact.
When do I pay?
In arrears of work completed. You pay for work that has been done and inspected, not for work that has been promised. This has been how the company operates since 2008.
Which postcodes in Hackney do you cover?
We work across the whole borough, including E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.
Who is the planning authority for Hackney?
London Borough of Hackney is the local planning authority and also runs building control for the borough. Planning applications, prior approval submissions and building control applications for your property all go to them, and we handle those submissions as part of the contract.
Do you handle Party Wall notices?
Yes, where the work requires them. Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, notifiable work on a shared wall needs 2 months written notice to the adjoining owner, while excavation near a neighbouring structure and building at the line of junction need 1 month. We serve the notices and manage the award process as part of the job.
Will I get certificates at the end?
Yes. Electrical work is tested and certificated under Part P, and building control issues a completion certificate where an application was required. You receive the handover pack — it is what a buyer's solicitor will ask for when you eventually sell.
How long will it take?
It depends entirely on scope, and we give a programme with the written quote rather than a guess on the phone. What we will not do is start a job we cannot resource, which is the usual reason a build stalls halfway through.
