Bow packs three very different kinds of housing into one postcode, and we work in all of them. There are the Victorian terraces off Roman Road and the grander houses around Tredegar Square, the big conversion schemes like the old match factory at Bow Quarter, and the newer apartment blocks that have gone up along the canals and the River Lea.
Each type generates its own electrical work. The terraces need rewires and board upgrades. The conversions have long communal cable runs and quirks left over from their industrial past. The new builds mostly need fault finding, because developer-grade fittings and nuisance-tripping RCDs show up a few years after handover.
Victorian terraces off Roman Road
The terraced streets between Roman Road and Bow Church still contain plenty of homes with dated wiring and old fuse boards. We do partial and full rewires here regularly, and we plan them around occupied houses because most Bow owners cannot move out for a week.
Warehouse and factory conversions
Ex-industrial buildings converted into flats, Bow Quarter being the best-known example, come with thick walls, long circuit runs and consumer units that are now decades old. We upgrade boards, trace faults through awkward routes and work with managing agents on access.
Canal-side new builds
The apartment blocks along the Hertford Union and Limehouse Cut look new but many are past their tenth birthday. Common calls: RCDs tripping with no obvious cause, cheap downlights failing in batches, and extractor fans wired without isolators. These are quick fixes once diagnosed properly.
Landlord work across E3
Bow has a busy rental market, from single flats to licensed HMOs. We provide EICRs, remedials and interlinked alarm installations, and we keep paperwork clean so agents can file it without chasing us.
