Landlord country — and EICR season never ends
Uxbridge has the biggest rental market on our patch, which means a steady rhythm of legally required electrical safety reports — every let, at least every five years. A lot of our Uxbridge week is EICRs: test, report, quote the remedials, and back out in time for the next tenancy. Landlords with a handful of properties get them batched into one efficient run rather than five separate call-outs.
The housing itself keeps us busy too. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces towards the town centre bring classic older-property work — tripping circuits, tired sockets, fault finding — and fuse boards that have watched several monarchs come and go. Out towards Hillingdon and Cowley the stock is newer but the kitchens and extensions are hungrier.
Flats, houses and everything between
Uxbridge is also where we do most of our flat work — allocated-bay EV charger installs, freeholder permissions and communal cable routes included. Whatever the property type, the process is the same: photos first, a fixed written price, certified work, and a straight “that doesn’t need doing” when it doesn’t.
What we do in Uxbridge
- EV charger installation — Houses and flats — including the freeholder-permission kind.
- Consumer unit replacement — Old fuse board out, 18th Edition metal consumer unit in. RCBO protection on every circuit, surge protection, certificate included.
- EICRs & safety reports — The Uxbridge staple — batched across rental portfolios, remedials quoted in the same visit.
- Lighting installation — Downlights, LED upgrades, garden and security lighting. Neat first fix, tidy finish, and dimmers that actually dim.
- Electrical repairs — Older terraces are our regulars: faults traced properly, not reset and hoped for.
Questions we get asked in Uxbridge
How often does a rental property need an EICR?
At least every five years, by law, for any privately rented home in England — and a new tenancy needs a report the tenant can be given. If your Uxbridge let is overdue, we test, report and quote any remedials in one visit.
I have several rental properties — can you handle them together?
Yes, and it is cheaper that way. We schedule EICRs across your Uxbridge properties in batches, keep the certificates organised, and can combine visits with other work — EV chargers included — so you are not paying for repeat trips.
My Victorian terrace keeps tripping — what is going on?
Usually one tired circuit or one damp accessory dragging the rest down — the classic older-terrace fault. We find faults properly: trace it, fix it, test the circuit through, rather than resetting the breaker and hoping.
Can you fit a charger at a flat in Uxbridge?
Often, yes — allocated bay, freeholder permission, planned cable route. The full honest picture, including the grant situation, is on our Uxbridge EV charger page.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. Most jobs are priced from photos before we come. For fault-finding we agree the approach and price on the phone first, so there are no surprises.
