Electrician in Wandsworth

Wandsworth has some of London's most interesting planned housing. Shaftesbury Park in Battersea, about 1,200 cottages built between 1873 and 1877, was followed by the Latchmere Estate in 1903, which was built with electric lighting from the start. In Tooting, Totterdown Fields, begun in 1901, was the London County Council's first cottage estate, and Balham's Heaver Estate went up between about 1890 and 1910. The council describes its West Putney conservation area as overwhelmingly Edwardian.

Much of that housing has since been divided up. In the 2021 census, 17.7 per cent of Wandsworth households lived in flats in converted or shared houses, against 11.1 per cent across London, and 36.3 per cent rented privately. Mansion blocks such as those on Prince of Wales Drive, from the 1890s, and Balham's 1937 Du Cane Court add their own considerations, from shared supply routes to the landlord's consent for alterations.

Nine Elms is the opposite: riverside towers around Battersea Power Station, which reopened in 2022 with shops, offices and homes. Flats there need small jobs rather than rewires, from extra sockets to data points and lighting. Shops, bars and restaurants along Northcote Road, Putney High Street and Tooting's Mitcham Road also rely on regular PAT tests, good lighting and periodic inspection of their wiring. We cover the whole borough, from Putney and Earlsfield to Tooting Broadway and Clapham Junction, for rewires, EICRs and emergency callouts.
