“Turned up on time and got on with changing the 4 light switches that I requested to be changed. Also fixed a dodgy socket where a wire had fallen out of the back of the socket. All done in 1 hour.”

Flats, houses and restaurants we work in in Kensington
Kensington work is often in mansion flats and period houses. Agent EICRs on Hornton Street and Blithfield Street are usually followed by remedials, such as those on Marloes Road. Downlight schemes of 18 to 22 fittings on Argyll Road need correct driver placement; loose driver connections caused an emergency we attended on Stanford Road.
We have also replaced a supply cable on Kensington Church Street, quoted a basement rewire on Palace Gardens Terrace and worked at a restaurant on Abingdon Road.
