Who we are
Certified Electricians Working Across East London
Electrical work isn’t somewhere to cut corners — a poor consumer unit swap or an unsafe circuit doesn’t just fail an inspection, it puts your home and your family at risk. Every electrician we send out is qualified, insured and works to BS 7671 wiring regulations, and every job is certified on completion.
Dakus Construction handles electrical work as part of full renovations and as standalone jobs — from a single socket added to a kitchen refit, to a complete rewire of a Victorian terrace, to routine EICR testing for landlords and homeowners preparing to sell.
We regularly work across Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham, Hackney and Tower Hamlets. If your area isn’t listed, call us and ask — we travel across East London for the right project.

Take on a single circuit or a whole rewire — every service below is carried out by our own certified electricians and signed off on completion.
Full & Partial Rewires
Complete or room-by-room rewiring for period terraces and older ex-council homes, planned around your household so disruption is kept to a minimum.
Consumer Unit & Fuse Box Upgrades
Replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern, RCD-protected consumer units — often the single most important upgrade for an older East London property.
EICR Testing & Certification
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords, homeowners and buyers — a full inspection with a clear, actionable written report.
Lighting Design & Installation
Downlights, feature lighting, outdoor and garden lighting, and smart lighting circuits designed and fitted as part of any renovation.
Sockets, Circuits & Extensions
Additional sockets, dedicated appliance circuits, EV charger circuits and general electrical extensions, all installed to current regulations.
Kitchen & Bathroom Electrics
Rewired circuits, extraction, under-cabinet lighting and safe zone-compliant bathroom electrics, coordinated with plumbing and cabinetry work.
Local knowledge
We Work On Every Type of East London Property
East London’s housing stock ranges from Victorian terraces in Leyton to 1960s ex-council blocks in Barking and new-build apartments around Stratford, and each brings a different set of electrical challenges.
01
Victorian & Edwardian Terraces
Leyton, Walthamstow and Leytonstone. Original wiring, round-pin sockets and undersized consumer units are common — a full rewire is often the safest long-term fix.
02
Ex-Council Flats & Estates
Barking, Dagenham and parts of Hackney. Shared supplies and older fuse boards need careful testing before any circuit work begins.
03
1930s Semis & Family Homes
Redbridge, Ilford and Gants Hill. Room to add circuits for extensions, garden offices and EV chargers without overloading the existing supply.
04
New-Build Apartments
Stratford, Canning Town and the Olympic Park area. Generally compliant as standard, but internal fit-outs and smart home upgrades still need certified sign-off.
05
Georgian & Converted Townhouses
Tower Hamlets and parts of Hackney. Multiple sub-lets and past piecemeal rewiring often mean a full inspection is needed before any new work.
06
Rental & Buy-to-Let Properties
Across all East London boroughs. Landlords rely on us for EICR certification and remedial work to meet legal safety requirements on tenancy renewal.
Budgeting
What Does Electrical Work Cost in East London?
Electrical pricing depends entirely on the scope of the job, and any electrician who quotes a firm figure without seeing the property or the existing wiring is guessing. What we can do is be clear about what drives the cost.
Four things move an electrical budget more than anything else: the scale of the work — a single socket versus a full rewire, the age and condition of the existing installation, access — whether floors and walls need to be opened up, and whether certification such as an EICR or Part P sign-off is required as part of the job.
How we quote
We visit, inspect the existing installation and talk through exactly what the job needs. You then get a written, itemised, fixed-price quote — labour, materials and certification broken out line by line, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The price we agree is the price you pay unless you ask us to change the scope.
How it works

We visit your East London property to inspect the existing installation and discuss what you need.
02
Inspection & Testing
Existing circuits and wiring are tested so we know exactly what condition the installation is in before quoting.
03
Fixed, Itemised Quote
A written price broken down line by line, with a start date and realistic programme attached.
04
First Fix
Cabling, chasing and containment installed before walls are closed up or plastered.
05
Second Fix & Testing
Sockets, switches, consumer unit and fittings connected, then the full installation tested.
06
Certification & Handover
Electrical certification issued and, where required, notified to Building Control under Part P.

Questions
Electrical Services FAQs
How much do electrical services cost in East London?
Costs depend on the scope of work — a single socket is very different to a full rewire. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a free home visit so there are no surprises.
How long does electrical work take?
A single circuit or consumer unit upgrade can often be done in a day. A full house rewire typically takes 5–10 working days depending on the size of the property and whether floors and walls need opening up.
Do I need an EICR certificate?
Landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR for rented properties, renewed at least every five years. Homeowners buying, selling or simply unsure of the condition of their wiring should also have one carried out for peace of mind.
Are your electricians NICEIC-certified?
Yes — our electricians are NICEIC-certified and Part P registered, so all notifiable work is certified and registered with Building Control where required.
Do you offer emergency electrical callouts?
Yes, we offer emergency callouts across East London for urgent issues such as total power loss, tripping circuits or exposed wiring. Call us directly and we’ll get an electrician to you as quickly as possible.
