Electrical work around Plumstead
Plumstead stretches along its long High Street, with Plumstead Common and the hill towards Shooters Hill on one side and the marshes towards Thamesmead on the other. The housing is mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with interwar streets further out.
Terraced homes of this age have often been altered in stages by different owners, which is how awkward faults and overloaded circuits appear. We start by finding what is actually there.
Long terraced rows climbing up towards Plumstead Common often feature patchwork wiring installed across successive decades. Full consumer unit replacements, new circuit protection and systematic wiring checks are standard requirements when modernising these multi-storey family homes.
