Let me tell you something most builders won’t admit.
Electrics and plumbing are the two places where shortcuts hurt the most.
You can repaint a bad wall. You can replace ugly tiles. But faulty wiring? A leaking pipe behind plaster? Those don’t just cost money. They cost sleep. And sometimes, they cost safety.
That’s why at A&A Construction Builders LTD, we don’t do “good enough.” We do certified, compliant, and fully insured — every single time.
The Problem: Too Many “Handymen” Pretending to Be Electricians
Walk down any high street in Whitton, Twickenham, or Richmond. You’ll see cards pinned to newsagent windows:
“Electrician – Cheap – Same Day”
Here’s what they don’t tell you:
- No NICEIC certification
- No Part P compliance
- No building control notification
- No insurance if something goes wrong
And plumbing? A “plumber” who isn’t Gas Safe registered cannot legally touch your boiler. But they will. And you’ll find out when your carbon monoxide alarm goes off — or worse.
We exist because London homeowners deserve better.

The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” Electrics & Plumbing
Let me be honest with you.
A non-certified electrician might charge you £200 less. But here’s what you’re actually buying:
| Scenario | Certified (Us) | Cheap Cowboy |
|---|---|---|
| House rewiring (3-bed) | £3,500 – £5,000 | £2,500 – £3,500 |
| Certificate issued? | ✅ NICEIC & Building Control | ❌ Nothing legal |
| Insurance-backed? | ✅ Fully insured | ❌ No certificate = no claim |
| Sell your house? | ✅ Solicitor accepts EICR | ❌ Fails survey, buyer pulls out |
| Peace of mind? | ✅ Sleep well | ❌ Worry every time a switch sparks |
The cheaper option isn’t cheaper. It’s just deferred pain.
Real Story: The Whitton Flat That Failed Its EICR
Last year, a landlord in Whitton called us. He had just bought a flat near Conway Road. The previous owner provided an “electrical certificate” from an unknown electrician.
We tested everything.
Failed. Completely.
The wiring was 40 years old. No earth on lighting circuits. Undersized cables in the kitchen—consumer unit from the 1990s.
The landlord had to spend £4,200 for a full rewire before any tenant could move in. He told us, “I should have called you first.”
Don’t be that landlord. Call us first.
