Electrician Acton — NAPIT-Approved Electrical Installation & Testing
SMR Group (Nova SMR Group) carries out electrical installation, testing, and remedial work across Acton, W3, to BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations, 18th Edition). Our team is NAPIT-approved, which means our installation and inspection work is independently assessed against current UK electrical safety standards. Acton’s housing is a mix of Victorian terraces around East Acton and Acton Green, 1930s semis further north, and newer flat conversions near Acton Town and Ealing Common — each with different wiring histories and fuse board requirements. Older terraces commonly still have wiring and consumer units that predate the 18th Edition, which we identify and upgrade as part of our standard EICR process. Services include fuse board (consumer unit) upgrades, EICR inspection and certification, fault diagnosis using calibrated test equipment, EV charger and Solar Panel installations, and full or partial rewiring.

Recent Fuse Board Installations by our NAPIT-Approved Electricians in Acton
During this fuse board replacement in Acton, we found two separate consumer units with unsuitable cable-entry grommets and openings that did not provide adequate protection against access to internal parts. We replaced both units with one modern metal consumer unit fitted with RCBOs for individual circuit protection and a surge protection device (SPD), providing a safer, neater and better-organised installation. The circuits were carefully transferred, connections checked, and the new consumer unit was fully tested on completion. Completed for £950, including labour and materials.

What an EICR Checks For: A Finding From an Acton Inspection
Not every electrical fault shows up when you flip a switch or plug something in. A circuit can look and work normally while having no working earth connection at all — because the earth conductor only matters when something goes wrong. Without it, a fault that should trip the protection instead makes the exposed metal parts live.
During a recent EICR in Acton, this is exactly what our engineer found: the earth conductors inside a junction box had been cut off at the cable ends. The socket outlet worked as normal, so there was no obvious sign of the problem — it was only found by opening the enclosure and testing.
The same inspection also picked up something less well known: circuit protection isn’t just about having an MCB or fuse — it has to match the cable it’s protecting. Here, a 32 A breaker was fitted to 1.5 mm² socket cable, a combination that would let the cable overheat under overload conditions well before the breaker reacted. A correctly sized device for that cable would typically be rated much lower.
The takeaway: an EICR isn’t a visual check. It tests continuity, protection ratings, and enclosure conditions that don’t announce themselves through normal use — which is why alterations by previous owners or unregistered installers can sit unnoticed for years.

Recent Electrical Jobs in Acton
Another recent Acton job involved an RCD that tripped every second after each reset. After around 30 minutes of electrical fault finding, the fault was traced to the bathroom light switch line. A wireless switch and receiver was fitted at the light, where a permanent live was already present, and the RCD stayed on.
