Proof summary

“We were terrified about rewiring a listed building, but HAMPSTEAD RENOVATIONS handled everything with such care. You genuinely cannot tell any work has been done, yet we now have a completely modern, safe electrical system. Their knowledge of heritage properties was invaluable.”

House Rewiring

The Challenge

The Williams family purchased a beautiful Georgian townhouse in Hampstead only to discover the electrics were dangerously outdated. The original 1950s wiring included fabric-covered cables, no RCD protection, and an overloaded fuse box. Any renovation plans had to work around Grade II listing constraints and preserve original features.

Our Approach

Before starting, we liaised with the conservation officer to understand the constraints of working on a listed building. We developed a rewiring strategy that would minimise visible changes while bringing the property up to modern safety standards. Every route was planned to avoid damage to original plasterwork and features.

Our Solution

Using specialist techniques for listed buildings, we rewired the entire 5-storey property. Cables were routed under floors, through service voids, and along existing channeling wherever possible. Where new chases were unavoidable, we used lime plaster to match the original. All visible fixtures were chosen in period-appropriate styles.

Key Features:

Full RCBO consumer unit
Smart home ready infrastructure
Period-style switches and sockets
Listed building compliant installation
Interlinked smoke alarms
USB charging points
Dedicated kitchen circuits

The Outcome

The property now has a fully modern electrical system with RCBO protection, adequate circuits for modern living, and smart home readiness - all completely invisible within the Georgian interior. The Williams family has peace of mind and can proceed with their renovation plans.
