AN ELECTRICAL CASE STUDY: RE-WIRING AN ARTIST’S NOTTING HILL W11 RENOVATION

Notting Hill W11 SignA well-known artist recently decided to renovate his period property in Notting Hill, and SOR Electrical were called in to do the re-wiring. Of course, being an artist, his renovation was very creative and so was his lighting spec. This was not a problem for us as SOR Electrical offers a complete electrical service from lighting design plans right through to installations, electrical maintenance and electrical fault finding.

We developed a creative lighting design plan for the client.
At our initial consultation, we discussed with him what he was looking for which included the installation of custom designed chandeliers, very creative additional built-in lighting, and substantially more strategically positioned sockets. This was not a problem for us as we specialise in chandeliers, and have installed many in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, not to mention unique built in lighting that has been designed by the client themselves. Our design team was then able to give our professional input into developing an overall lighting plan for the client.

Re-wiring a property as part of a renovation is a great idea and can save money.
Renovating a property does provide a good opportunity to do re-wiring as a lot of the electrical work is actually light building work in order to get cables from one place to another. So if you are lifting floorboards, working in the ceiling or re-plastering anyway as part of your renovation, then wires can be laid by our electricians before everything gets put back and without us having to charge for the building work.

Re-wiring for safety and flexibility.
Re-wiring is good idea especially in this case of a period property that hasn’t been updated for a while. Modern electrical regulations are a lot safer than previous standards and it’s unlikely that a wiring job done, say, thirty years ago will have enough sockets to satisfy the amount of devices in use around the house today. Lighting has got more sophisticated too, with fewer people happy to rely on just a central light fitting in the ceiling in each room.

Give SOR Electrical a call earlier rather than later.
So if you’re considering renovating your W11 property, or adding an extension, no matter how creative or demanding, give the team at SOR Electrical a call to book an initial consultation & to hire a Notting Hill, W11 electrican. And preferably do it earlier than later because if the electrical work can be done alongside the building work it could save you money and valuable time.
