Electrical services in Esher
Esher is an affluent Surrey town with a mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties, and character homes in the Claygate and Hinchley Wood areas. Many properties in Esher have been significantly extended or renovated, and the electrical installations often need to be brought up to match.
The larger properties in Esher tend to have more circuits, more lighting zones, and higher electrical demands than a typical three-bedroom home. This means the consumer unit, cable sizes, and circuit design need to be specified correctly from the start.
Common electrical work in Esher
Consumer unit upgrades
Larger Esher homes often have consumer units with 16 or more circuits. Upgrading to a modern board with RCBO protection on every circuit ensures that a fault on one circuit does not affect the rest of the house. This is particularly important in larger properties where losing all power is more disruptive.
Rewiring during renovation
Many Esher homeowners undertake significant renovation projects. Rewiring during a renovation is the ideal time, as cables can be run before walls are finished. We work alongside architects, builders, and interior designers to deliver the electrical installation as part of the wider project.
Lighting design
Esher properties often have generous room sizes and high ceilings, which offer more scope for layered lighting design. We install combinations of recessed downlights, feature pendants, wall washers, and under-cabinet lighting, all controlled through smart dimming systems.
Garden and outdoor electrics
The generous plots typical of Esher properties mean garden electrics are a common request. Garden lighting schemes, power to pool houses and outbuildings, outdoor kitchens, and EV chargers are all regular jobs in this area.
EICR
Esher falls within the Elmbridge Borough Council area. Landlords need a valid EICR for rental properties, and homeowners should have one every 10 years. We carry out inspections across KT10.
