NICEIC Approved And NAPIT Registered Electricians in London for Safe Repairs, Installations and Electrical Compliance
Electrical problems never come at a good time. Sometimes it starts small — a light that flickers when the kettle switches on, or a socket that’s gone quiet for no obvious reason. Other times it is more urgent: the fuse box keeps tripping, half the flat has lost power, or there’s a burning smell coming from behind a switch.
Whatever the situation, the underlying question is usually the same: is this safe to leave, and who can I trust to actually fix it properly? Improper wiring, overloaded circuits and worn-out components don’t just cause inconvenience they raise real risks of electric shock, appliance damage and fire. In a city full of converted flats, Victorian terraces rewired one room at a time over decades, and modern developments running more devices than they were ever designed for, that risk is more common than people expect.
Liviosiv provides electrician services across London for homes, rental properties and commercial premises repairs, fault finding, installations, safety testing and landlord compliance work, carried out by NICEIC and NAPIT-accredited engineers to current UK electrical standards.
Signs You Should not Wait to Call an Electrician
A few symptoms are worth treating as a “call now,” not a “get round to it eventually”:
- The fuse box or a circuit keeps tripping, even after resetting it
- A burning smell around a socket, switch or consumer unit
- Sudden loss of power to part or all of the property
- Flickering lights, warm fittings, or a buzzing sound near the consumer unit
- Exposed or damaged wiring, or loose accessories
- Any electrical fault following a leak or water damage
If you are seeing any of these, switch off the affected circuit if it’s safe to do so and get in touch repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker without finding the actual cause tends to make the eventual fix more expensive, not less.

Qualified Electricians for Homes, Landlords and Businesses Across London
Electrical systems vary enormously between properties. A modern apartment in Canary Wharf has very different demands from a Victorian terrace in North London, and neither looks much like a commercial retail unit off Oxford Street. That’s part of why electrical work shouldn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach — and why we tailor the assessment to the actual building, not a generic checklist.
Domestic Electricians for Houses, Flats and Rental Properties: Kitchens, heating, appliances, entertainment systems and charging devices all put constant pressure on a home’s circuits. Older London properties in particular can carry hidden issues: outdated consumer units, no RCD protection, overloaded circuits, poor earthing, ageing cable insulation, or DIY alterations completed without proper testing. We carry out repairs, upgrades and installations for flats, houses and rental properties across the city — fault finding, socket work, lighting, fuse board replacement, rewiring and landlord safety inspections.
Commercial Electricians for Offices, Shops and Managed Buildings: Commercial installations tend to be more complex than domestic ones, and the stakes of getting it wrong are different too a fault does not just inconvenience a household, it can stop trading, disrupt staff, or put customers at risk. We provide commercial electrician services for offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, communal buildings, managed developments and commercial rental premises, along with ongoing maintenance, testing and compliance support.
Landlords, Letting Agents and Property Managers: Electrical compliance for rented property is not something that can quietly wait until the next tenancy change anymore most rental properties in England need a valid EICR, and enforcement has become noticeably more active. We work with landlords, agents and property managers who need EICR certificates, remedial repairs, consumer unit upgrades, fault repairs, emergency call-outs and ongoing maintenance support, often bundled with other compliance requirements to simplify the admin.
HMOs: Higher occupancy means higher electrical demand, more complex circuit arrangements, and additional licensing requirements layered on top. Our HMO electrical work covers EICR inspections, remedial repairs, consumer unit upgrades, additional sockets and communal electrical inspections see also our HMO Fire Risk Assessment service, since the two compliance areas are closely linked for shared housing.
Offices, Retail, Hospitality and Warehousing: Beyond the core landlord/tenant relationship, we work directly with offices, retail units, restaurants and warehouse operators who need reliable electrical systems to keep trading periodic testing, fault finding, lighting and distribution board work, scheduled around business hours wherever possible.
Renovations and Planned Projects: Not everyone calls us because something’s gone wrong. A good number of clients get in touch during a kitchen renovation, an extension, or a general property upgrade, when the electrical layout needs proper planning rather than an afterthought. Poorly planned electrics at this stage tend to cause years of low-grade inconvenience, later extra sockets in the wrong place, lighting circuits that do not match the new layout. We support planned installations including lighting systems, additional sockets, rewiring and consumer unit upgrades from the design stage onward.
Electrical Services We Provide
Electrical systems are interconnected a fault in one area can quietly affect several circuits or appliances at once, which is part of why proper diagnosis matters more than a quick fix.
Fault finding and repairs — identifying the actual root cause rather than resetting a breaker or swapping a visible component. Faults often develop gradually; in a lot of London properties, a problem sits unnoticed until the installation starts tripping or losing power outright.
Fuse box and consumer unit replacement — older boards often lack modern RCD protection and can fall well short of current safety expectations. Upgrading improves both safety and day-to-day reliability.
Socket, switch and lighting installation — sockets, switches, LED lighting, pendant lights, spotlights, and security and outdoor lighting systems, installed and replaced for both residential and commercial properties.
Full and partial rewiring — signs a property may need it include frequent tripping, fabric-insulated cables, burning smells, cracked accessories, missing earthing, or an installation that’s simply aged out of current standards. Rewiring is planned to minimise disruption while genuinely fixing the underlying problem.
EICR testing and certification — assessing circuits, earthing, bonding, protective devices and fixed electrical equipment, commonly required for landlords, HMOs, commercial premises, insurance purposes and property sales.
PAT testing — portable appliance testing confirming plug-in equipment remains safe for continued use, widely used by landlords and businesses as part of broader safety management.
Emergency lighting and fire alarm electrical works — supporting the electrical side of wider fire safety infrastructure, including emergency lighting systems and fire alarm interfaces.
Outdoor electrics, security lighting and garden power — installed and maintained with the weatherproofing and circuit protection outdoor conditions demand.

What Happens After a Failed EICR
A failed EICR isn’t the end of the process — it’s the start of a fairly structured one, and it’s worth knowing what to expect:
Certification issued after remedial work: a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for smaller repairs and alterations, or a full Electrical Installation Certificate for more extensive work. Certain domestic work also requires Part P notification to building control.
The 28-day rule: most private landlords need to complete required remedial work within 28 days of the inspection. Tenants must then receive confirmation that the work has been carried out, and local authorities may request proof of compliance if asked.
Understanding the codes: observations on an EICR are graded by risk — C1 means immediate danger, C2 means a potentially dangerous defect, FI means further investigation is needed, and C3 is a recommendation for improvement rather than a required fix. Knowing which code you’re dealing with makes the next decision much clearer.
Ignoring it isn’t a safe shortcut. Failure to act on a failed EICR can lead to penalties figures in the tens of thousands of pounds have been reported for non-compliance on top of the underlying safety risk itself.
We carry out remedial work for landlords, letting agents, HMOs, homeowners, and commercial premises, scaled to whatever the report actually requires rather than pushing unnecessary upgrades.
