Highly rated by 388+ homeowners and landlords across Google and other review platforms for reliability, tidy workmanship, and honest advice. We’re known for turning up on time and doing the job properly.
04
What must be checked before work involving edwardian terraces with rear rooms in Edwardian Terraces With Rear Rooms?
We check the supply, earthing, bonding, consumer unit and the relevant existing circuits first. That shows whether the requested work can be added safely and keeps any separate defect visible before the quotation is agreed.
05
How can semis with loft workspaces shape new power and lighting in Semis With Loft Workspaces?
We agree how the rooms will be used, useful accessory positions and the least disruptive compliant routes. The design then coordinates loading, switching and certification around the real layout rather than assuming every circuit needs replacement.
06
What access and permissions affect flats & converted houses in Flats & Converted Houses?
We confirm who controls the installation, which rooms or shared areas must be reached and whether any managing-agent approval is needed. The written scope then records the access, testing, notification and handover that apply.

A 1930s Semi Off Aldermans Hill — The Original Wylex Board
Bought from a long-term resident, rewireable fuses still in place, no RCD anywhere. Here’s what we found and how we fixed it.
What we found
The owners had bought a 1930s semi just off Aldermans Hill from a long-term resident. The consumer unit was the original Wylex board with rewireable fuses — the kind where you’ve got a strip of fuse wire to replace if something trips.
Nothing immediately dangerous, but once we lifted a few floorboards, the picture got worse.
3
Hidden faults found in one visit.
No RCD protection anywhere on the install, no main bonding to gas or water, plus borrowed neutrals between the upstairs lighting and a bedroom ring. Topped off with a buried junction box from a previous extension nobody had recorded.
What we did
We swapped the board for a fully RCBO-protected dual-RCD unit — every circuit individually protected.
Then we traced and corrected the borrowed neutral, brought everything up to current 18th Edition spec, and issued a clean certificate the same afternoon.
- Wylex board → fully RCBO-protected unit
- Main bonding to gas & water brought up to current regs
- Borrowed neutral traced and corrected
- Buried junction box exposed and made safe
- Full Electrical Installation Certificate Issue timescale confirmed
That job is fairly typical of what I see week to week in Palmers Green. The housing stock here is overwhelmingly interwar, and a huge proportion of homes are still running on installs that haven’t been properly looked at since the 1970s or 80s.
I’m Rudi — I run Rudi Electrics, an NICEIC-registered contracting business based in Edmonton, ten minutes down the road. We work across Palmers Green, Bounds Green, Winchmore Hill and the rest of N13. When you call, you speak to me.
We also handle Consumer Unit Upgrades, Electrical Repairs & Fault Finding, and Emergency Callouts.

Electrician Planning for Palmers Green Property Types
Four property situations that change routes, disruption and the practical scope in Palmers Green.
Swipe to explore all property types
Edwardian Terraces With Rear Rooms
📍 Green Lanes, Aldermans Hill, Hedge Lane, Pages Lane, Broomfield Lane
⚠ CHALLENGE:
What must be checked before work involving edwardian terraces with rear rooms in Edwardian Terraces With Rear Rooms? Existing circuit condition, earthing and the consumer unit can change what is safe to add. The requested socket, light or repair must be planned from test evidence rather than the age or appearance of the property.
✓ OUR APPROACH:
We check the supply, earthing, bonding, consumer unit and the relevant existing circuits first. That shows whether the requested work can be added safely and keeps any separate defect visible before the quotation is agreed. The written scope follows the checked layout around Green Lanes.
Semis With Loft Workspaces
📍 Hazelwood Lane, Highfield Road, Paulin Drive, Waterfall Road, Conway Road
⚠ CHALLENGE:
How can semis with loft workspaces shape new power and lighting in Semis With Loft Workspaces? Room use, solid walls, finished surfaces and previous alterations affect useful positions and cable routes. A generic layout can create avoidable mess or leave new accessories in the wrong place.
✓ OUR APPROACH:
We agree how the rooms will be used, useful accessory positions and the least disruptive compliant routes. The design then coordinates loading, switching and certification around the real layout rather than assuming every circuit needs replacement. The written scope follows the checked layout around Hazelwood Lane.
Flats & Converted Houses
📍 Green Lanes, Aldermans Hill, Palmers Green High Street
⚠ CHALLENGE:
What access and permissions affect flats & converted houses in Flats & Converted Houses? Flats, HMOs and managed buildings may involve shared supplies, landlord equipment or restricted areas. Ownership and safe isolation need to be clear before drilling, disconnection or alteration begins.
✓ OUR APPROACH:
We confirm who controls the installation, which rooms or shared areas must be reached and whether any managing-agent approval is needed. The written scope then records the access, testing, notification and handover that apply. The written scope follows the checked layout around Green Lanes.
Rear Extensions & Garden Offices
📍 Throughout Palmers Green N13 — extensions, loft conversions, side returns
⚠ CHALLENGE:
Can rear extensions & garden offices include future electrical, data and security needs in Rear Extensions & Garden Offices? Extensions, lofts, offices and outbuildings often add electrical, data and security loads together. Without a coordinated plan, routes can be duplicated and the existing supply or board capacity can be overlooked.
✓ OUR APPROACH:
Yes. We can coordinate likely power, lighting, data and CCTV positions while routes are accessible. Spare capacity and future provision still follow the verified supply and circuit design, avoiding equipment that the property does not need. The written scope follows the checked layout around Throughout Palmers Green N13.

Common Electrical Issues in Palmers Green Homes
Palmers Green N13 sits in the London Borough of Enfield, and it isn't one type of house. The streets running off Green Lanes have Edwardian terraces from before the First World War; cut through to Aldermans Hill, Fox Lane or Broomfield Avenue and it's almost entirely 1930s semis. After fifteen years working across N13, I see the same patterns again and again.

1930s Semis — The Bulk of the Housing Stock
If you live in Palmers Green, there's a good chance your house is a 1930s semi. Solid properties — but the original installs were never designed for the way we use power today.
- Old Wylex or MEM fuse boxes with rewireable fuses — pre-date modern circuit protection entirely.
- No RCD protection — anything before 2008 is unlikely to have it.
- No main bonding to gas and water — a Code C2 on an EICR every time.
- Borrowed neutrals between circuits — common where extensions have been added over the decades.
- Buried or DIY junction boxes — almost every Palmers Green semi I work on has at least one mystery joint under the floorboards.
Edwardian and Victorian Terraces
The older streets running off Green Lanes — and pockets towards Bowes Park — have plenty of pre-1920s terraced housing. The two issues I see most often:
- Original consumer units never upgraded — the install hasn't been touched since the property was first wired, with extra sockets added piecemeal over the decades.
- Two-core lighting circuits with no earth — meaning you can't safely fit metal pendants, metal switches, or modern downlights without rewiring the lighting circuits first.
Newer Builds and Flats
The newer builds and converted flats — particularly around Green Lanes and the Triangle — tend to have one recurring issue:
- Undersized consumer units — builders fit 6-way boards because they're cheap, but once you add an electric shower, an induction hob, and a few smart-home circuits, you're out of ways within a year.
While the Board Is Off — Earthing and Bonding
When we upgrade a consumer unit in a Palmers Green home, nine times out of ten we'll recommend bringing the earthing and main bonding up to current regs at the same time. The board's already off, the cables are accessible, and the work costs roughly the same as a separate visit later.
