What we do in N10
Muswell Hill is large Edwardian family houses, most still single dwellings, which makes the work here different from Crouch End or Harringay. The bulk of it is whole-house upgrades for owner-occupiers: consumer unit replacements from £550 labour-only where a 1980s Wylex board is still running a house that has since gained a loft conversion, a kitchen extension and an induction hob; full and partial rewires when a buyer’s survey turns up rubber or early PVC cable — see our rewire cost guide and how long a rewire takes; and new circuits for loft rooms, side-return kitchens and garden offices. EV chargers are a big part of N10 work because the wider avenues actually have driveways, and many of the houses are on 60 A or 80 A supplies that need a UKPN upgrade or load management before a 7 kW charger goes on. On the Rookfield estate and the Alexandra Park side there are conservation-area constraints on external cable runs and charger positions, which we plan around at survey. Landlord work is a smaller share but real — converted flats along the Broadway and above the shops need EICRs and shared-supply sorting exactly like the rest of Haringey. If the power is actually off, our emergency electrician Haringey page covers urgent response.

Edwardian houses in N10: what usually comes up
Three findings account for most of what we write up in Muswell Hill. First, a board that predates the extensions — a 1980s or 1990s unit with a single 30 mA RCD (or none) now feeding a loft shower, a kitchen with three high-load appliances and an outside socket, so one earth fault anywhere blacks out the house. Second, undersized or overloaded tails and main switch where a 60 A cut-out fuse is quietly carrying an electric range, an immersion heater and a tumble dryer at once — an EV charger on top is what finally trips the conversation about a UKPN supply upgrade. Third, no main bonding to gas and water after a boiler move or a new kitchen plumbed in plastic. A board change with RCBOs, new tails and bonding clears all three in a day and is the single most common job we do on this hill.
N10 landlords: Haringey licensing and the 28-day clock
Haringey runs additional licensing for HMOs borough-wide; both licensing routes ask for an EICR less than five years old at application. Since 1 May 2026 the penalty ceiling for breaching the Electrical Safety Regulations is £40,000 per breach, and an unsatisfactory report gives you 28 days to complete remedials and get written confirmation. We issue the report on the day and quote remedials from the schedule. For converted houses along the Broadway, EICRs for leasehold flats and communal areas explains who is responsible for the hall lighting and the landlord’s supply, and the landlord compliance checklist covers everything else the council will ask for. Borough-wide context is on electrician Haringey.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Fortis Green, Alexandra Park and the East Finchley border?
Yes — all of N10 plus the N2 side of Fortis Green. Neighbouring pages: Highgate, East Finchley N2, Crouch End & Hornsey, Wood Green and Tottenham.
Can I have an EV charger on a 60 A supply?
Often yes with a load-managed charger (Ohme, Easee, Zappi and most Tesla Wall Connectors can be capped), and always yes after a UKPN fuse upgrade to 100 A, which is free in most cases but takes 2–6 weeks to book. We check the cut-out and tails at survey and tell you which route you’re on before quoting.
Our house is in the Rookfield conservation area — does that affect the electrics?
Only external work: charger position, outside lights and any cable run visible from the street. Internal rewires and board changes are unaffected; we route external cables to keep them off principal elevations.
Is there parking?
Most of central N10 is a CPZ on weekdays; the avenues mostly have driveways. Tell us the zone when you book; a driveway or visitor permit saves you the parking cost we would otherwise have to add.
