Electricians & plumbers in Knightsbridge, Belgravia & Chelsea
Electricians, lighting control specialists and property maintenance across Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea and South Kensington, for homeowners, landlords and managing agents.
Working in Knightsbridge, Belgravia & Chelsea
Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea and South Kensington cover the SW1X, SW3 and SW7 postcodes, split between the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Much of the housing is period townhouses, garden squares and mansion blocks, many of them managed by porters or managing agents.
Homes here often have, or want, high-end lighting control and home automation. Our engineers are trained on Lutron, KNX, Crestron and Loxone, and we are a Philips Dynalite Approved Dealer. We install and look after these lighting control systems, alongside the rewires, consumer units, data cabling and making good that those systems depend on.
We also handle the everyday work for landlords and agents in SW1X, SW3 and SW7: EICRs and remedial works, plumbing and leaks, repairs between tenancies and decoration, with access arranged through the porter or agent and photos and certificates sent when the job is done.
Property licensing in Knightsbridge, Belgravia & Chelsea
Belgravia and the Westminster side of Knightsbridge are in the Knightsbridge and Belgravia ward, which is part of Westminster’s selective licensing scheme. Since 24 November 2025, almost every privately rented home in 15 of Westminster’s 18 wards, including this one, needs a licence. Westminster’s borough-wide additional HMO licensing was renewed from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2031.
On the Kensington and Chelsea side, including Chelsea, South Kensington and parts of Knightsbridge, there is no selective licensing. The Royal Borough’s additional HMO licensing covers the whole borough from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028, so shared houses and flats of three or more people need a licence.
Licence applications usually ask for a current EICR and gas safety record. We provide both and price any remedial work in writing.
Licensing rules change, so always check the exact address with Westminster City Council or Kensington and Chelsea Council. Correct as of November 2026.

Common questions

Does my Belgravia rental need a licence?
Very likely. The Knightsbridge and Belgravia ward is in Westminster’s selective licensing scheme, in force since 24 November 2025, so most privately rented homes there need a licence. Check the exact address with Westminster City Council.
