Electrics for Southgate's 1930s houses
Much of Southgate was built between the wars, when the Piccadilly line arrived: semi-detached and detached houses with front drives and long gardens. Many have had their wiring updated in parts over the decades, but some still have older circuits, a dated fuse board, or not enough sockets in the kitchen.
Driveways make these houses a natural fit for EV chargers, and front and back gardens are ideal for outdoor lighting and outdoor sockets.

Questions from Southgate customers
Is my 1930s house due a rewire?
Not necessarily. Many have been partly rewired already. An EICR will tell you whether the wiring is safe and whether a full or partial rewire is needed.
Can you install an EV charger on my drive?
Yes. We check your supply and consumer unit first, then install the charger and certify the work.
Do you do emergency call-outs in Southgate?
Yes. We take emergency call-outs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Southgate and the rest of North London. Call 07871 056970.
