Introduction to Buckhurst Hill

Located on the edge of Epping Forest, Buckhurst Hill is a highly desirable suburban town that blends countryside charm with excellent access to London. Sitting just outside Greater London yet within the M25, it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful residential living with strong transport links into the city via the London Underground Central line. 

Historically, Buckhurst Hill began as a small settlement within the ancient woodland of Epping Forest. Its name comes from Old English, meaning “a hill covered with beech trees,” reflecting its deep-rooted connection to the surrounding landscape. Over time, the area grew significantly following the arrival of the railway in 1856, transforming it into a thriving commuter town with elegant homes and a strong community feel.

Today, Buckhurst Hill is known for its attractive residential streets, independent shops along Queens Road, and a close-knit community atmosphere. With a mix of period properties and modern homes, it’s an area where high-quality electrical work and safety standards are essential—something we take great pride in delivering.

Bought new lighting or fittings and want them installed properly? We regularly install customer-supplied lights, switches, and sockets, ensuring everything is fitted safely, tested, and compliant with current standards.

Full & Partial Rewires

Older properties in Buckhurst Hill often require rewiring to meet modern electrical demands. Whether it’s a full rewire or targeted upgrades, we ensure your wiring is safe, efficient, and future-proof.

Electrical Investigations for Buyers

Buying a property? Our electrical investigations give you a clear understanding of the condition of the installation before you commit. This can highlight potential costs, safety concerns, or negotiation points.

Old Board Testing

My aim here is to educate you on the hidden dangers of old-world fuse boards, fuse boxes, and show you how times have changed. 

The fuse box in this video was installed at around 1980, know if you hadn't upgraded your mobile phone since this time, just think "how technology has changed over the years". Truth is newer fuse boards are a lot safer the technology is now so advanced in 1980 call us today to discuss your well overdue upgrade. 

New oven fitted Loughton

Fitting a New Oven

Have you brought and received a new cooker and need it fitting? or a company has been paid to install it however when they turn up, they say

Your installation is not how they expected it to be, or is unsafe for them to proceed?

Don't panic we hear this all the time and it is normal, not all electrics are installed the same. Many of them installed by kitchen fitting companies and not up to current regulations.

Old Storage Heater

Old Storage Heaters

Economy Seven (E7) storage heating, using cheaper off-peak electricity, certainly sounds like a good idea. More recent heaters are a good idea – but some older installations may well be in urgent need of replacement.

Older storage heaters are typically coloured brown, take up unreasonable amounts of living space, and tend to look unsightly in almost any room – especially one that has recently been decorated! There is little you can do to improve their appearance – you can’t cover them with MDF radiator covers, and they can’t be painted.
