What to consider in West London
West London — Ealing, Hammersmith, Fulham and Hounslow — ranges from period homes to large mansion blocks. Many properties sit in conservation areas where careful, compliant work and the right permissions matter.
In England and Wales, most fixed electrical work must be done to Part P of the Building Regulations, so it's worth using an electrician registered with a scheme like NICEIC or NAPIT who can self-certify the work.
How to choose a good electrician in West London
- Check they're registered with a scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT or Part P registered and can certify the work.
- Ask for proof of public liability insurance.
- Get the quote in writing, with what's included and excluded.
