What we do in N13
Palmers Green is Edwardian and 1920s family houses — the Lakes Estate’s big double-fronted semis and the smaller terraces off Green Lanes — mostly owner-occupied with a growing share of flat conversions, and the work follows the housing. The most common job is consumer unit replacement from £550 labour-only: these houses were rewired once, usually in the 1970s or 80s, and the board fitted then has rewirable fuses or early MCBs and no RCD, which is an automatic C2 on any inspection and the reason most calls start with a tripping problem or a buyer’s survey. Second is the EICR, split between owners selling or buying — the Lakes Estate conservation-area houses change hands with a surveyor’s note about the electrics more often than not — and landlords with converted flats on Green Lanes and Hazelwood Lane, from £140 for a flat and from £180 for a four-bed semi. Third is extension and loft work: kitchen-diners across the back of the Edwardian houses, loft rooms, and the garden studios that have appeared along the long N13 gardens — new circuits from £180 each and an outbuilding supply from £350. EV chargers are steady rather than dominant because much of N13 is on-street parking, but the Lakes Estate and the roads north of Alderman’s Hill have driveways and we install from £450 labour.

Edwardian houses in N13: what usually comes up
Three findings do most of the work on a Palmers Green report. First, the 1970s board with no RCD feeding everything, including the bathroom and the garden — C2, fixed by a board change. Second, the extension that was wired off the existing ring: a kitchen with an induction hob, a dishwasher and a washing machine all on the original 1970s ring with a spur or two, which is a C3 at best and an overloaded circuit at worst; the fix is a dedicated cooker circuit and usually a second ring, from £180 per circuit. Third, the loft conversion with its own mini consumer unit hidden in an eaves cupboard, fed by a cable that was never certified — we trace it, test it and either sign it off or put it on the schedule. In the converted flats on Green Lanes the pattern is the Edmonton one: shared supplies and one board per flat with no independent isolation, which we sort with a sub-main from £350. Bathrooms in these houses are often original size and position, so bonding to the pipework is checked on every visit.
N13 landlords and sellers
Palmers Green sits outside Enfield’s selective licensing wards, so a standard single let does not need a council licence — but HMOs anywhere in the borough do under the additional licensing scheme, and every private tenancy in England needs a satisfactory EICR under five years old with the £40,000-per-breach ceiling that has applied since 1 May 2026. We issue the report on the day and the remedial quote with it. For sellers, the usual trigger is the buyer’s survey noting the old board or the uncertified extension; an EICR before exchange gives you a number to negotiate with rather than a retention, and we can normally do it inside the week. If the report needs renewing before a sale or a re-let, this guide covers the timing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Bowes Park, Winchmore Hill and the Lakes Estate?
Yes — all of N13 including Bowes Park, plus the N21 side of Winchmore Hill and Grange Park. Neighbouring pages: Southgate, Edmonton, Wood Green, N22 and Tottenham.
My house is in the Lakes Estate conservation area — does that affect the work?
Not for internal electrical work. Conservation-area rules cover the outside of the building; an EV charger or an external socket on the front elevation is worth a quick check with Enfield’s planning team, and we position them to be discreet. Internal rewires, board changes and new circuits need no planning input, only Part P certification, which we provide.
Can I add an EV charger if I park on the street?
Not from your own supply — cables across the pavement are not permitted. If you have a driveway or a dropped kerb, yes, from £450 labour. Enfield Council has been adding on-street lamp-column chargers in N13 for the rest.
Is there parking for you?
Most of N13 is unrestricted or short-hours CPZ; around Palmers Green station and the Triangle there is a daytime permit zone. Tell us the street and we’ll arrange a visitor permit — no surcharge.
