Electrics
in London.
Half the electrical jobs on a normal to-do list are things a handyman can legally and safely do — replacing a socket, swapping a light fitting, adding a dimmer. I do these daily.
What's included
- · Socket changes, USB sockets, face-plate upgrades
- · Light fittings, ceiling roses, pendants, chandeliers
- · Switch replacement — dimmers, smart switches, two-way
- · Extractor fans (bathroom/kitchen), wired smoke alarms
- · Consumer-unit basics — RCD trips, broken breakers
How I work
I work to current IET wiring regulations and isolate at the consumer unit before starting. For notifiable work (new circuits, bathroom zones, consumer-unit changes, full rewires) I bring in a Part P registered electrician — safer, legal, and you get a certificate. Ask me for a straight answer about what falls into which category.
Questions
- Can you replace a light fitting?
- Yes — like-for-like replacement is standard handyman work. New pendants, chandeliers, LED panels, smart fittings. I check the ceiling rose and wiring colours first.
- Can you add new sockets?
- Adding extra sockets is usually notifiable electrical work. I either do it in partnership with a Part P electrician or refer you. Simple face-plate replacements I handle directly.
- What about smart switches and dimmers?
- Yes — Lutron, Philips Hue wall switches, standard dimmers, smart relay modules. Fine as direct replacements.
