We cover Uxbridge and the wider Hillingdon area, from town-centre flats and shared student houses to family homes out towards Cowley, Hillingdon and Ickenham.
A lot of our Uxbridge work is for landlords and letting agents, because this is one of the busiest rental markets in west London. We also do plenty of straightforward homeowner and commercial work.
Uxbridge is a longer run for us than the Harrow towns, so we book it in rather than treating it as an emergency patch. Tell us what you need and we will be straight about when we can get there.
A rental town, and what that means for your electrics
Uxbridge is shaped by two things. Brunel University sits on its edge, and Heathrow is down the road. Between them they have turned a lot of ordinary houses into shared homes and rentals, alongside the modern purpose-built flats around the town centre.
That changes the electrical work. A house lived in by one family gets light use and one owner who knows its history. A shared house gets heavy use, more appliances, more sockets in use at once and a new set of tenants every year. Nobody who lives there knows what was done before they arrived.
The rules are tighter too. Every rented home in England needs an EICR at least every five years. Houses in multiple occupation are licensed by Hillingdon Council, and that licence comes with safety conditions to meet. Getting this wrong is expensive, and it is one of the few things that can stop you letting the property at all.
What we get called out for in Uxbridge
EICRs for landlords and agents
Rented homes need an inspection every five years, and you need the certificate before a new tenancy starts. We turn reports around quickly and write them in plain English so you can see what actually matters.
HMO licensing work
Shared houses have to meet the conditions on their licence. We carry out the electrical side, including the testing, and give you the paperwork the council will ask to see.
Alarms and emergency lighting
Shared homes need interlinked alarms, and larger ones need emergency lighting on the escape route. We install and test both, and we can service them on a schedule so nothing lapses.
Turnarounds between tenancies
The gap between one tenant leaving and the next arriving is short. We work to it. Sockets, lights, faults and testing done in one visit where we can, so the property is not sitting empty.

What we do in Uxbridge
Electrician in Uxbridge, questions answered
How often does a rented property in Uxbridge need an EICR?
At least every five years, and you need a copy of the report for a new tenant before they move in. If the report lists anything coded C1 or C2 it has to be put right, and you have 28 days to do it.
Do you do electrical work for HMO licences?
Yes. Shared houses licensed by Hillingdon Council have safety conditions attached, and the electrical side is a large part of that. We do the testing and any work needed, then give you the certificates to send in.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. Most of our rental work is done with people living there. We agree access times in advance, keep the power off for as short a time as we can and clear up properly at the end of each day.
