Suburban homes with garages and gardens
Detached garages, workshops and garden buildings are common in Havering, and many were wired years ago with whatever cable was to hand. If you want proper power and lighting out there – or you're turning a garage into a room – an electrician will usually recommend a dedicated supply from the house, suitably protected at the consumer unit.
A lot of Romford homes still have consumer units from the 1990s or earlier. They can be perfectly serviceable, but adding an EV charger, a new kitchen or an electric shower is a good moment to check whether the board and its protection are up to the job.

What affects electrician quotes in Romford
Electricians in Romford usually price a job after a visit or from photos of your consumer unit and the rooms involved. These local factors tend to move the price:
- Condition of the existing board: older consumer units may need replacing before anything new is connected.
- Garage conversions: turning a garage into a habitable room needs more circuits and testing than simply adding sockets.
- Cable route to the drive: a charger on the front of the house is quicker to install than one on a separate garage.

Electrical work across London
London's electrical work follows its housing: Victorian and Edwardian houses split into flats, mansion blocks, ex-council estates and new-build towers. Conversions often have tangled histories, with circuits added by different people over the decades, so fault finding and condition reports are common requests. Access, parking and building management rules all add time to jobs in the capital, and many landlords need regular electrical safety reports for rented flats.
In England, new circuits, consumer unit replacements and work in bathrooms are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify the work, and you should receive a certificate when it's finished. How to choose an electrician.

Electricians in Romford: your questions answered
How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing?
Signs include an old fuse box with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, a wooden backboard, scorch marks or a board that's full when you need a new circuit. An electrician can inspect it and explain whether an upgrade is needed or just recommended.
Can my garage be wired for an EV charger and workshop?
Often, yes, but it depends on your supply and the route from the house. An electrician will check whether a single new circuit can serve both or whether they should be kept separate.
