What electrical work does Paul carry out in Esher?
Most electrical work in Esher falls into three groups: older homes that need their wiring checked or updated, family houses being extended or refitted, and new additions such as EV chargers, extra sockets and garden power.
Fuse board upgrades
Older rewireable fuse boards and early consumer units without RCD protection are still found in some Esher homes. Paul assesses the board alongside the condition of the circuits it supplies, and where a replacement is needed his usual specification includes individual RCBOs and surge protection.
Kitchen and extension projects
Extensions and open-plan kitchens usually need new circuits for ovens, induction hobs and lighting. Agreeing the layout before plastering avoids cutting into new walls later, and a partial rewire can be scheduled around your builder.
Checks before buying
Esher's housing ranges from older properties to modern detached homes, and a homebuyer survey does not test the wiring. An EICR before exchange shows whether the installation needs work, giving you facts to budget or negotiate with.
Outdoor power and lighting
Garden lighting, outdoor sockets and supplies to garden offices or garages are popular projects, installed with suitable RCD protection and weatherproof fittings.
Can Paul add lighting and sockets to an Esher home?
Yes, adding sockets, USB points, wall lights, downlights and outdoor lighting is some of the most common work Paul carries out, and each job is quoted individually once he has seen it.
Before extending a circuit, Paul checks that it is in good condition and can carry the extra load, because an overloaded or damaged circuit is a common cause of tripping later on.
Where a new circuit is needed, it is tested, certified and notified under Part P of the Building Regulations, so you have the paperwork if you sell the house.

Do Esher's conservation areas affect electrical work?
Conservation area status rarely affects electrical work inside your home, but it can affect anything fixed to the outside, such as lights or an EV charger, and listed buildings need more care.
Elmbridge Borough Council has designated the Esher conservation area, and the nearby West End and Weston Green conservation areas also sit within Paul's Esher coverage.
For listed buildings, Historic England explains that works affecting a building's character need listed building consent from the local planning authority, which should be agreed before cables are chased into historic walls.
Before work starts on an older Esher home
- Confirm with Elmbridge whether the property is listed
- Agree where switches, sockets and lights will go
- Decide where cables can run with the least disturbance
- Choose external fittings that suit the building
Once you know what consent, if any, is needed, Paul can talk through the practical options.

Esher electrician FAQs
Is there a local electrician covering Esher?
Yes, Bring it Ohm Electrical Solutions covers Esher and the rest of KT10 from its base in Weybridge, a short drive away. Paul, a NAPIT registered electrician, oversees every job himself.
How much does an electrician cost in Esher?
There is no set price list, because the cost depends on the existing installation and the work involved, so Paul provides a written quote once he has assessed the job. He does not charge a call-out fee or a fee for quoting, and domestic EICRs are priced at £60 per consumer unit plus £30 per circuit.
Does my fuse board need replacing?
Not always, because age alone does not mean a fuse board must be replaced; it depends on its condition, the test results and any planned work. Paul assesses the board and the circuits it supplies, then explains whether it can stay, needs improvements or should be replaced.
Can I get an EICR before buying a house in Esher?
Yes, an EICR before exchange shows the condition of the fixed wiring, which a standard homebuyer survey does not test. Ask the seller's agent to arrange access, and Paul will explain the findings and any observation codes in plain English.
Do I need consent for an EV charger on a listed building in Esher?
You may, because work fixed to a listed building that affects its character can need listed building consent from Elmbridge Borough Council. Check with the council's planning team before installation, and Paul can then suggest a suitable charger position.
Can you add sockets for a home office in Esher?
Yes, Paul can add sockets and USB points for a home office, after checking the existing circuit can carry the extra load. If it cannot, he will explain whether a new circuit is the better option and quote for it.
Do you carry out landlord inspections in Esher?
Yes, Paul carries out EICRs for private landlords and letting agents in Esher and across KT10. Private rented homes in England must be inspected and tested at least every five years, and any remedial work is quoted separately.
What certificate will I receive for work in Esher?
You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate once the work is complete and paid for. Notifiable work is registered with Building Control through NAPIT, and your local authority sends you a compliance certificate.
