What's different about Waltham Forest
Extensions on old boards
Kitchen and loft extensions are often wired into an old consumer unit. A board change with RCD protection is the most common follow-on job here.
Plenty of off-street parking in Chingford
The north of the borough has more driveways, so EV charger installs are usually straightforward.
Licensing
Waltham Forest runs property licensing. Check your address on the council's site; we'll make sure the EICR covers what they ask for.
