Maida Vale’s mansion blocks and red-brick conversions are a specialist environment: consumer units in hall cupboards, wiring that runs through shared risers, porters and agents to coordinate with, and freeholder rules on working hours. We work in W9 regularly and know the drill.
Typical Maida Vale jobs for us are EICRs and remedial work for flat owners and landlords, consumer unit upgrades where the existing board predates RCD protection, and lighting upgrades — including communal stairwell and emergency lighting for managing agents.
If you’re buying in W9, a pre-purchase EICR is money well spent: the difference between a flat with sound wiring and one needing a rewire is significant, and invisible on a viewing.
