Electrician in Ealing

Ealing grew quickly in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and the council describes both its town centre and Ealing Common conservation areas as mainly from that period. Around Ealing Common, several large family houses have since been converted into flats, and the draft Local Plan notes spacious villas being turned into HMOs. In the 2021 census, a quarter of households in Ealing Broadway ward lived in a converted or shared house.

Ealing is also home to two notable planned estates. Brentham Garden Estate, a pioneering co-partnership suburb of about 650 cottages and houses, was built from 1901 and largely finished by 1915, and the Hanger Hill Garden Estate followed between 1928 and 1936 with neo-Tudor houses and flats. Both are conservation areas, so work that changes the outside of a house, such as new lights, a meter box or a charger on the front wall, is worth checking with the planners first.

Further south, more than 40 per cent of households in Northfield ward live in terraced houses, and a loft conversion or rear extension there usually means new circuits and a hard look at the consumer unit. Closer to the Broadway, newer developments such as Dickens Yard add modern flats, where the jobs are more often extra sockets, lighting changes and fault finding. We also look after shops and offices along The Broadway and New Broadway.
