What electrical work does Paul carry out in Thames Ditton?
Thames Ditton's mix of village houses, riverside homes and flats means Paul is asked for everything from fuse board upgrades and fault finding to outdoor power and inspections for sales.
Fuse board upgrades
Where a consumer unit is damaged, lacks adequate RCD protection or cannot support planned work, Paul's usual replacement uses individual RCBOs, so a fault on one circuit does not cut power to the whole house, plus surge protection.
Homes near the river
Damp is one of the most common causes of earth leakage faults, particularly on outdoor lights, garden sockets and supplies to outbuildings. Fault finding tests the insulation on each circuit to locate the problem.
Selling or letting a flat
Buyers' solicitors often ask for certificates for past electrical work, and landlords need a current report. An EICR records the condition of the installation on the day of testing.
Older village houses
Houses that have been altered many times can have a mix of cable types. Paul's rewiring page explains the signs that a partial or full rewire is worth considering.
What did Paul install for a garden room in Thames Ditton?
Paul wired a garden room in Thames Ditton with wall lights and a dedicated socket circuit, giving the building its own lighting and power fed from the house.
A garden room supply needs a cable sized for the distance and the load, buried or fixed where it will not be damaged, and suitable protection where it leaves the house. Inside the building, the layout of sockets and lights is agreed before anything is fixed.
Because a supply to a garden room is a new circuit, it is notifiable under Part P. Paul tests and certifies the installation and notifies it through NAPIT, so the paperwork is in place if you sell.

How do Thames Ditton's conservation areas affect electrical work?
Thames Ditton has several conservation areas designated by Elmbridge Borough Council, which mainly affect changes to the outside of buildings rather than electrical work inside them.
The council has designated the Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Green conservation areas, plus nearby Long Ditton and Weston Green. External lighting, sockets and EV chargers on prominent walls may need more thought in these areas.
If your home is listed, Historic England advises checking with the planning authority before carrying out any works, inside or out, that could affect its character.
How Paul plans work on period homes
- Agreeing accessory positions before any cable is run
- Talking through cable routes that avoid original features
- Discussing external fittings before they are fixed
- Testing and certifying everything to BS 7671
If your home is listed, check consent with Elmbridge planning before booking.

Thames Ditton electrician FAQs
Do you work in Thames Ditton?
Yes, Paul works throughout Thames Ditton, Giggs Hill Green, Weston Green and Long Ditton, and has wired a garden room in Thames Ditton. There is no call-out fee and no charge for a quote.
Does wiring a garden room need Part P notification?
Yes, a new circuit to a garden room is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Paul tests and certifies the installation and notifies it through NAPIT, and your local authority issues a compliance certificate.
Why do my outdoor lights keep tripping the RCD?
Outdoor lights that trip an RCD usually have moisture inside the fitting, a damaged cable or a failed seal. Paul isolates the outdoor circuit and tests the insulation to find the cause before recommending a repair.
Should I replace my consumer unit before selling?
Not necessarily, because an older consumer unit can remain serviceable and age alone does not mean it must be replaced. An EICR or assessment shows whether replacement is actually needed.
Can you fit an EV charger without a driveway in Thames Ditton?
Possibly, through an approved cross-pavement charging channel such as Kerbo Charge, which needs approval from Surrey County Council as the highway authority. Paul can carry out the electrical work and charger installation once approval is in place.
Do you cover Long Ditton and Weston Green?
Yes, Paul covers Long Ditton, Weston Green, Giggs Hill Green and the rest of the Thames Ditton area. There is no call-out fee and no charge for a quote.
What is the difference between an EICR and an EIC?
An EICR reports on the condition of an existing installation, while an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) certifies new work such as a new circuit or consumer unit. A garden room supply, for example, receives an EIC.
