Rewiring for homes in Oval

In Oval, SE11, whether a property needs a full rewire or targeted circuit work is a survey finding — not an assumption from the age of the stock.

A consumer unit upgrade can sit inside a rewire package or be scoped separately. The circuits decide which applies, not preference.

Oval sits under Lambeth (SE11). Building Regulations, freeholder rules and neighbour interfaces still shape method address by address on victorian terraces & mansion flats.

The Oval — Surrey County Cricket Club's home ground since 1845 — defines the area's identity, with Harleyford Road, Kennington Oval, and Fentiman Road curving around the ground's perimeter. For rewiring, that context matters. Local character in Oval is often summarised as “Kennington Oval”, and access and neighbour density still vary address by address. Photograph the existing consumer unit and meter position, note the number of rooms and floors, and say whether the property will be occupied.
