What's Included
Electrical work often overlaps with wider renovation projects, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, which fall under Part P's special-location rules. If you're planning a full kitchen renovation or bathroom renovation, our team can handle the rewiring and electrics alongside the rest of the work.
EICR testing across every circuit in the property, checking RCD protection, earthing and bonding against BS 7671 wiring regulations, with a full written report and any remedial work identified before certification.
Consumer unit and fuse box replacement, upgrading old rewireable fuse boards or units without RCD protection to modern RCBO consumer units, tested and certified to Part P Building Regulations.
Full and partial rewiring for period and older properties, replacing outdated cabling and undersized circuits that can't safely support modern loads like kitchens, electric showers, and EV chargers.
Socket and lighting installation and repair, including additional sockets, downlights, and external lighting, carried out as notifiable work under Part P where the location requires it.
Fault finding and repair for tripping breakers, dead circuits, and intermittent faults, tracing the actual cause rather than simply resetting the consumer unit, with a fixed-price repair quote before work begins.
EV charger installation for driveways and off-street parking, including load calculation and a dedicated protected circuit to meet current wiring regulations.

Get a Free Electrics QuoteOur Electrics Process
A straightforward process from first contact through to finished work, with clear pricing at every step.
Call, message, or WhatsApp Soraiz Builders with the electrical issue and your London postcode. A written quote follows within 2 hours, and for urgent issues an engineer can usually attend the same day.
The electrician attends, diagnoses the fault or assesses the job (EICR, consumer unit, wiring, etc.), and confirms the emergency call-out fee before any work begins.
Once the problem is confirmed, you receive a clear, itemised price for the work itself before any further work proceeds. No work starts without your agreement to that price, and all notifiable work is certified on completion.
Local to London
Much of the housing across Ealing, Harrow, Wembley, Hayes, Hillingdon, and Brent, from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, was wired decades before modern demands like induction hobs, electric showers, and EV chargers existed. Consumer units and circuits in these older properties often fall short of current Part P and BS 7671 standards, which is why EICR testing and rewiring make up a steady share of our work in these boroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an emergency electrician call-out cost in London?
The emergency call-out fee typically ranges from £80 to £100. This covers the electrician attending your property and diagnosing the fault, not the cost of parts or the wider repair itself. Once the problem has been assessed, you will be given a clear price for any further work before it goes ahead, so there are no surprise charges.
How quickly can I get an electrics quote in London?
We aim to respond to every electrics enquiry within 2 hours, whether it is a fault, a consumer unit issue, or a full rewire. Getting a fast initial response matters because electrical problems can pose a safety risk the longer they are left, so a quick assessment helps you decide on next steps without unnecessary delay.
Why does NICEIC or Part P registration matter when hiring an electrician?
NICEIC registration and Part P compliance exist to confirm an electrician is qualified to carry out and certify notifiable electrical work safely, under UK Building Regulations. Using an unregistered electrician for notifiable work can leave a property without valid certification, which may cause problems when selling or insuring it. When booking electrical work, it is worth asking to see proof of registration and requesting the relevant certificate on completion.
Do you offer emergency electrical services in London?
Yes, emergency electrical support is available for issues such as power loss, tripping circuits, and unsafe consumer units anywhere across Greater London. Getting a qualified electrician out quickly for urgent issues helps reduce fire and safety risks in the property. Every enquiry, emergency or otherwise, receives a quote response within 2 hours, so you know where you stand as soon as possible.
What is included in an electrics call-out?
A call-out covers an electrician travelling to your property and diagnosing the problem, whether that is a fault, a consumer unit issue, or a wiring concern. This fee does not include parts or the labour for any follow-on repair work. Once the issue has been identified, you will be given a separate price for the work itself before any further work is carried out.
Is replacing a consumer unit notifiable work under Part P?
Yes, consumer unit and fuse box replacement is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. This means the work must either be carried out by a registered competent person who can self-certify it, or notified to and inspected by local authority building control. Ask for the relevant certificate on completion so the work is properly recorded for any future sale or insurance check.
