Build a picture of earlier electrical work
A Hampstead home may combine original rooms, an extension and later internal alterations. The electrical installation can reflect several different projects, even where the visible fittings look consistent. PEP reviews that existing arrangement before specifying new residential work. Available certificates, known refurbishment dates and the proposed room changes help us understand the starting point. The intention is to define the necessary installation work from evidence rather than judge the wiring by the age of the house.
01
Connect the new brief with retained circuits
We discuss the rooms, fixed equipment and practical point positions you want, then consider how those requirements relate to the installation already present. Some routes may be accessible during the refurbishment while others pass through retained finishes. The quotation should identify the circuits being altered, any renewal required and the parts outside the agreed scope. This makes the boundary between a targeted improvement and a full rewire clear.
02
Coordinate the work with the building
Access and first-fix timing need to fit the wider programme, especially when different parts of the home are being renovated at separate stages. We agree the installation sequence, anticipated supply interruptions and responsibilities for making good. Testing and the relevant completion records follow the actual work delivered. If the existing consumer unit needs attention, we assess that alongside the circuit requirements rather than treating a board change as a substitute for reviewing the wiring.

Your questions
Planning the work
Does an old house automatically need new wiring throughout?
No. The condition and arrangement of the installation need assessment. The building's age does not tell us when all its circuits were installed or how they have been altered.
Can you plan new work where past records are incomplete?
Yes. We start with the information available and identify what needs to be established during assessment before finalising the scope and quotation.
Tell us about the property, the work you have in mind and your intended programme. We will help establish the next step and the information needed for a clear quotation.
