Streatham Certified Electrician

SW16 Certified Electricians

Electrical work should always be completed safely, tested correctly and supported by the appropriate certification. Whether you need a repair, consumer unit upgrade or complete rewire, choosing a properly qualified electrician protects your property and helps prevent expensive problems later.

NOD Electrical Services is a NAPIT-approved electrical contractor based in Streatham, providing professional electrical services for homeowners, landlords and businesses across SW16 and South London.

Safer electrical work

Incorrect electrical work can cause electric shock, overheating, fire or repeated tripping. A qualified electrician will assess the existing installation before carrying out any alterations.

This includes checking:

  • Earthing and bonding

  • Cable sizes and circuit loading

  • RCD and RCBO protection

  • Consumer unit condition

  • Fault protection and disconnection times

  • Inspection and test results

This is particularly important in Streatham, where many properties have older wiring, previous alterations or have been converted into flats.

Compliance with current regulations

Electrical installation work must comply with the applicable requirements of BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. The latest 18th Edition update is BS 7671:2018+A4:2026.

Domestic electrical work in England is also covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. Certain work must be notified, including:

  • Installing a new circuit

  • Replacing a consumer unit

  • Certain alterations in bathrooms and other special locations

A NAPIT-registered contractor can self-certify qualifying work and arrange the required Building Regulations notification.

Correct testing and certification

Electrical work is not complete simply because the lights or sockets operate. The circuit must be inspected and tested to confirm that it is safe.

Depending on the work, you may receive:

  • An Electrical Installation Certificate

  • A Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate

  • An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

  • A Building Regulations compliance certificate for notifiable work

These documents may be required when selling, letting or insuring a property, so they should be kept with your property records.

Better long-term value

Cheap, uncertified electrical work can lead to faults, failed inspections and costly remedial work. A professional electrician will provide a clear quotation, use suitable materials and consider the future electrical requirements of the property.

This may include planning for:

  • Additional sockets and lighting

  • Kitchen upgrades

  • EV chargers

  • Solar panels and battery storage

  • Home offices and smart-home equipment

Correct planning can avoid unnecessary alterations once decorating or building work has been completed.
