Electricians & plumbers in Kilburn & West Hampstead

Working in Kilburn & West Hampstead

NW6 covers Kilburn, West Hampstead, South Hampstead and Queens Park, split between the London Boroughs of Brent and Camden along Kilburn High Road. It is mostly Victorian and Edwardian houses, many of them converted into flats and let privately.

NW6 is one of the London areas where we do the most work, much of it plumbing, electrical faults and repairs for letting agents and landlords. We arrange access with tenants, collect keys from the agent where needed, and send photos and paperwork when the job is done.

Older converted houses here often have mixed wiring from different decades, small consumer units and plumbing that has been altered many times, so we explain what we find in plain English and price any extra work before doing it.

Property licensing in Kilburn & West Hampstead

On the Brent side of Kilburn High Road, the Kilburn, Queens Park and Brondesbury Park wards are all in Brent’s selective licensing scheme, which runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029. Almost every privately rented home there needs a licence, and Brent’s additional HMO licensing covers the whole borough from 2 February 2026.

On the Camden side, including West Hampstead and South Hampstead, there is no selective licensing. Camden’s borough-wide additional HMO licensing runs from 8 December 2025 to 7 December 2030, so shared houses and flats of three or more people need a licence.

Either way, every let needs an EICR at least every five years and a gas safety record every year. We provide both and quote any remedial work separately.

Licensing rules change, so always check the exact address with Brent Council or Camden Council. Correct as of November 2026.
