020 4600 5848Why Clapham calls us first in an emergency
A live electrical fault can spark a fire or give a serious shock, so the first thing we do on arrival is isolate it and make the area safe. Plenty of Clapham housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Old Town and the streets off Abbeville Road, often with older wiring and rewired-over circuits, alongside the newer mansion blocks and converted flats nearer the Common. Knowing how both behave means we find the real cause faster instead of chasing the symptom.
When you call, you speak to an electrician, not a call centre. We explain what is wrong in plain terms and confirm the cost before any work starts. Every repair is done to the current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671), tested to confirm it is sound, and tidied up before we leave. We handle electrical repairs, fuse box replacements and rewiring, and look after landlords and letting agents across the SW4 and SW11 rental market.
Common electrical emergencies we fix in Clapham
Electrical faults rarely pick a convenient moment, and they get worse the longer they sit. Our Clapham engineers are called out to flats, terraces and shops across SW4 and SW11 every day for problems like these:
- Power cuts or dead circuits affecting part of the property
- A burning smell or heat coming from a fuse box, socket or cable
- A breaker that trips again the second you reset it
- A consumer unit that is buzzing, scorched or warm to the touch
- Sockets that spark, crackle or have stopped working
- Lights failing in kitchens, bathrooms, gardens or shop units along the High Street
- Electrics affected by a leak, a flood or water in the fittings
If any of that sounds familiar, call 020 4600 5848 and we will make it safe, usually within the hour.

How to choose an emergency electrician in Clapham
Three quick checks before you let anyone touch your electrics.
Check they are registered
Look for NAPIT registration (or NICEIC) and Part P. It means the work is independently assessed and can be certified and notified to building control. Our Clapham electricians are NAPIT registered and Part P qualified.
Make sure they are really 24/7
A genuine emergency electrician answers at 2am, not just office hours. Ask about response times and any out-of-hours rates before you book, so nothing is a surprise.
Get the price up front
A trustworthy electrician confirms the cost before starting and never adds charges afterwards. We agree the price with you first, every time.

Electrical work and the rules in Clapham
Some electrical work in a Clapham home has to meet specific rules, and using a registered electrician keeps you on the right side of them.
- Part P building regulations. New circuits, a consumer unit (fuse box) replacement, and work in kitchens or bathrooms are notifiable. As registered electricians we self-certify the work and notify building control for you, so there is no separate Lambeth or Wandsworth council inspection to arrange.
- Landlord EICR. If you let a flat or terrace in Clapham, an Electrical Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement in England. Rented homes need one at least every five years, and you must give tenants a copy.
- BS 7671 (18th Edition). All our work is carried out to the current UK wiring regulations, which matters on the older Victorian wiring common around the Old Town, and notifiable jobs come with the right certificate.
- When you get paperwork. New circuits, fuse box changes, rewires and landlord safety checks all finish with the correct certification.
Our Certifications & Insurance
Our electricians are Part P registered and City & Guilds qualified, with NAPIT-registered contractors trained to the 18th Edition (BS 7671). Every job is backed by £5 million of public liability insurance.
Trusted by local homeowners and businesses.
