AC Kinetic has worked across NW8 regularly since 2018: EICRs and remedials, consumer unit replacements, lighting and fault finding, from Hamilton Terrace and Abbey Road to Grove End Road and Marlborough Place. NICEIC approved, 24/7 for emergencies, with clear pricing at £90 + VAT per hour.
No call-out fee: labour starts when we arrive (one-hour minimum, then half-hour blocks). For online bookings the first hour is paid in advance and credited to your invoice. Any parking or congestion charges are disclosed in advance.
For an EICR in NW8, a domestic inspection is £240 including VAT for one board with up to eight circuits; additional circuits are £30 each including VAT. For lighting, new circuits or a consumer-unit upgrade, send a description and photographs for a free quotation.
Repairs and further boards need an agreed scope and price. The booking app shows available arrival windows and the advance payment before checkout.
Hamilton Terrace is the NW8 street we visit most, much of it for a local letting agent: EICRs, remedials, outside lights and downlights. We have also carried out EICRs on Wellington Road, Grove End Road, Marlborough Place and in mansion blocks off St John's Wood Road. Several led to consumer unit replacements, including 8-way boards with new bonding, six downlights and new switches in one Grove End Road flat.
Our largest NW8 lighting job replaced 69 downlights in one home on Abbey Gardens, where we had earlier traced a burning rubber smell and a warm switch. Fault call-outs are the other big group, including emergencies for a tripping fuse board on Ainsworth Way, no lights on Acacia Road, tripping circuits on Hamilton Terrace, Hamilton Gardens and Langford Close, and power tripping after a water leak. See our fault finding service.
We also fit extractor fans, cooker hoods and ovens, from Abercorn Place and Alma Square to Abbey Road, and quote for rewires on Allitsen Road and Boundary Road.

Lighting and electrical upgrades in St John's Wood
Before a lighting or controls upgrade, list the fittings and switches you want to retain. Photographs and model details help us check the proposed equipment rather than assuming an existing dimmer will suit a new light or driver.
For a larger installation, tell us whether the building will remain occupied and whether work must be coordinated with other trades. We can discuss circuit routes, planned power interruptions and protection of finishes as part of defining the scope. Decorative making-good should be agreed explicitly in the quotation.
