What we do in NW1
Camden Town is three different electrical jobs depending on which street you are on. Along Camden High Street, Parkway, Chalk Farm Road and Kentish Town Road it’s flats above shops and bars: shared intakes, meter cupboards nobody has a key to, old rewireable fuse boards feeding two or three lets, and landlord EICRs that come back with C2s for no RCD protection and borrowed neutrals between flats. On the Regent’s Park Estate, the Camden Road and Agar Grove blocks and the Maiden Lane estate it’s 1960s–70s council-built wiring — consumer unit replacements from £550 labour-only, storage-heater and immersion faults, and full rewires where the original PVC is at the end of its life; see consumer unit replacement in Camden. In the Primrose Hill and Gloucester Avenue terraces and the Chalk Farm and Camden Square villas it’s period-house work: kitchen and loft circuits, garden and studio supplies, lighting rewires without ripping cornices, and EV chargers where there is a forecourt. If the power is actually off, our emergency electrician Camden page covers urgent response.

NW1 landlords: licensing, HMOs and short lets
Camden runs borough-wide additional licensing for HMOs, so a flat above a shop let to three sharers on Camden Road needs a licence, and the licence conditions expect a satisfactory EICR less than 5 years old plus evidence that supplied appliances are safe. The 2020 Regulations apply regardless: EICR every 5 years, copy to every new tenant before they move in, remedials within 28 days of an unsatisfactory report, and since 1 May 2026 civil penalties up to £40,000 per breach under the Renters’ Rights Act. Camden Town also has one of the densest short-let markets in London; if the flat is on Airbnb rather than an AST, the duties come from a different place — our short-let EICR guide sets it out. Leaseholders in the canalside blocks (Gilbey’s Yard, the Juniper Crescent and Camden Lock developments) should read the leasehold flat EICR guide for where the flat’s responsibility ends and the freeholder’s begins.

Why Camden Town calls us
Tottenham N15 base, Seven Sisters Road and Camden Road straight in, no central-London travel premiums. NICEIC registered, so certificates are genuine and notifiable work is signed off properly. We know the above-shop layouts — where the intake will be, which flats share a board, how to get the power off without closing the café downstairs at lunchtime — and we work early mornings for commercial units on the High Street. Fixed labour-only quotes before we start, materials at cost, and the same electrician returning for remedials.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an electrician cost in Camden Town?
Minimum charge £108 (£90 + VAT) for small jobs; EICRs from £140; consumer unit replacement from £550; all labour-only with materials at cost. See the EICR cost guide for the full breakdown.
Can you do an EICR on a flat above a shop where the meter is in the shop?
Yes — it’s most of our NW1 work. We arrange access with the shop, isolate at the flat’s own board where one exists, and note on the report if the supply arrangement itself is a C2 or C3 (shared neutrals and unlabelled intakes usually are).
Do you cover Chalk Farm and Primrose Hill?
Yes, the whole of NW1 and the NW3 and NW5 edges. Camden Square, Agar Grove and the Camden Road estates too.
How quickly can you come out?
Same-week as standard; same-day or next-day for tenancy starts, licence inspections and no-power faults where a slot is free.
Do you work in commercial units on Camden High Street?
Yes — shop, bar and café fit-out circuits, EICRs for lease renewals and licence applications, and early-morning or after-close visits so you don’t lose trading hours.
