Local Electricians Who Actually Know Kingston upon Thames
Kingston upon Thames is not a name on a coverage list for us — it is part of the patch we work in week in, week out. Victorian and Edwardian terraces through Norbiton and Canbury, substantial detached houses on the Coombe estates, riverside apartments around Charter Quay and Kingston Bridge, and a large student and rental market around the university.
Kingston has one of the highest concentrations of rented property in our patch, which makes landlord EICRs the bread-and-butter job — every private rental in England needs a valid five-year report, and Kingston Council actively enforces it.
That local knowledge is the difference between a quote that holds and a quote that moves. When we price a job in Kingston upon Thames, we already have a fair idea of what is behind the plaster, where the intake is likely to sit and what the job will actually take.

Building Regulations and Conservation in Kingston upon Thames
Most electrical work in a home is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Because HM Electrical is NICEIC registered, we self-certify that work and notify Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames for you, and you receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate on completion. You do not need to arrange a separate building control inspection or pay a separate notification fee.
Kingston Old Town, Canbury and Coombe are conservation areas, and the town centre has a number of listed buildings including the Market House. If your property is listed or sits inside one of those areas, we will flag anything that may need consent — typically external cabling, charge point positions or meter relocations — before we quote, not after we have started.

Yes. We cover KT1 and KT2 and the surrounding streets, along with the neighbouring areas across South West London and Surrey. Kingston upon Thames is inside our core working area, so getting to you is a normal day’s work rather than a special trip.
Yes. HM Electrical is an NICEIC Approved Contractor and NICEIC Domestic Installer. Our work is assessed annually by NICEIC, we can self-certify notifiable work under Part P, and the certificates we issue are recognised by insurers, mortgage lenders, letting agents and building control.
Yes. As an NICEIC-registered contractor we self-certify notifiable work and register it with Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames on your behalf. You receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate without arranging a separate building control inspection or paying a separate notification fee.
It can. Kingston Old Town, Canbury and Coombe are conservation areas, and the town centre has a number of listed buildings including the Market House. Conservation area status and listed building consent mainly affect anything visible externally — an EV charge point on a front elevation, external lighting, meter box relocations or surface-run cable. Internally it matters most in listed properties, where chasing into original fabric may not be permitted. We will tell you at quote stage if we think consent is needed, rather than after the work has started.
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits, so we price each one rather than quoting a headline figure that changes once we arrive. A typical two or three bedroom home is straightforward. Larger properties, conversions with shared circuits and commercial premises take longer and are priced accordingly.
For an average family home, usually five to ten working days, depending on size, access and whether you are living in the property while we work. Larger properties and listed buildings take longer. We work in stages where you need to stay in the house, so you are not without power everywhere at once.
No. Quotes and site visits to price work are free, and the price we give you is the price you pay unless you change the scope or we find something genuinely hidden — in which case we tell you before we carry on, not afterwards.
Yes. If you have lost power, can smell burning, have water near electrics or have a fault you cannot isolate, call 07866 433378. We will talk you through making the situation safe on the phone and get to you as quickly as we can.
