Electricians & plumbers in Finsbury Park & Stroud Green
Electricians, plumbers, handyman services and fit-outs across Finsbury Park and Stroud Green, where we work for landlords, agents, homeowners and shops.
Working in Finsbury Park & Stroud Green
Finsbury Park and Stroud Green sit where three boroughs meet: Haringey, Islington and Hackney, all in the N4 postcode. Much of the housing is Victorian terraces, many of them converted into flats.
We are in N4 regularly for handyman jobs, plumbing and electrical work. Converted Victorian flats often have older wiring, shared supplies and tired plumbing, so we look at the whole picture and price any remedial work in writing before we start.
We also fitted out the Dexters estate agency branch on Stroud Green Road: a full strip-out of two former units, a rewire, structured data cabling, new ceilings and lighting, finished in 8 weeks from strip-out to snag.
Property licensing in Finsbury Park & Stroud Green
Licensing in N4 depends on which side of the borough line you are. In Haringey, the Stroud Green ward is not in the selective licensing scheme, but the neighbouring Hermitage & Gardens ward, which includes N4 streets around Finsbury Park, is. Haringey’s selective scheme runs from 17 November 2022 to 16 November 2027, and its additional HMO licensing covers the whole borough from 17 June 2024 to 16 June 2029.
On the Islington side, the Finsbury Park ward has been in Islington’s selective licensing scheme since 20 May 2024, and Islington’s borough-wide additional HMO licensing was renewed from 1 February 2026.
Licence applications usually ask for a current EICR and gas safety record. We can provide both, along with any remedial work the inspection finds.
Licensing rules change, so always check the exact address with Haringey Council’s street list or Islington Council. Correct as of November 2026.

Common questions

It depends on the street. Parts of Finsbury Park are in Haringey’s or Islington’s selective schemes, while Stroud Green ward in Haringey is not. Shared houses need an HMO licence in both boroughs. Check the exact address with the council.
Do you work on converted Victorian flats?
Yes. A lot of our N4 work is in converted terraces, where we often find older wiring, shared supplies and plumbing that needs attention.
Do you do shop fit-outs in N4?
Yes. We fitted out the Dexters branch on Stroud Green Road, including the rewire, data cabling, ceilings and lighting.
Do you do small handyman jobs?
Yes. No job is too small, and we can often do several jobs in one visit.
