Local electrical work in Bexley
Many Bexley homes still have original fuse boards and wiring that's been extended piece by piece. Switchboard upgrades, partial and full rewires, and extra power points are our core Bexley work. We take care with original ceilings, cornices and joinery when running new cables.
Large blocks with rear garages also make Bexley well suited to EV chargers and granny flats, which usually need switchboard capacity checked first.

More about electrical work in Bexley
Bexley's Federation and inter-war homes often have high ceilings, timber floors and decorative plaster. Rewiring these homes is mostly done from the roof space and subfloor, with cables dropped inside walls. Where that isn't possible, we discuss options before cutting.
Many homes have been extended at the rear, with their own circuits and sometimes a sub-board. We test the old and new parts together, so you have a complete picture of the installation.
Duplexes and knockdown-rebuilds are common on Bexley's larger blocks. New dwellings need suitable supply and switchboards, and we can help plan these early.
Pre-purchase electrical inspections help buyers understand the condition of an older Bexley home before they settle.
