Watford's Trusted Electrical Contractor Since 2014

The Core Services is based at 6 Chichester Way, Watford, WD25 9TY, right in the heart of the town we serve. Since 2014, we have been the go-to electrical contractor for Watford homeowners, landlords, businesses, and property developers. Our headquarters location means unmatched response times for emergency call-outs and a genuine understanding of the local property landscape.

Watford's housing is remarkably varied: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semis in Oxhey and Bushey, extensive post-war estates in South Oxhey and Garston, modern apartments near Watford Junction and the Metropolitan Line, and substantial detached properties in Cassiobury and Nascot Wood. We have worked on every type, from emergency repairs in compact flats to full rewires in 6-bedroom family homes and complete electrical fit-outs for new commercial premises.

Watford has a diverse housing stock and our team has worked on every type: Victorian terraces in the town centre, 1930s semis in Oxhey and Bushey, post-war estates in South Oxhey, modern apartments near the station, and large detached homes in Cassiobury and Nascot Wood. We understand the specific electrical issues each era presents.
A standard consumer unit upgrade in a typical Watford 3-bedroom property typically ranges from £700 to £1,200 depending on the number of circuits and whether the earthing requires updating. For larger properties or those requiring three-phase distribution, costs may be higher. We provide fixed, no-obligation quotes before any work begins.
Yes, landlord EICR testing is one of our core services in Watford. We cover all WD postcodes and provide digital reports accepted by letting agents including Savills, Winkworth, and local independents. If remedial works are needed, we provide a separate quote and can often complete the repairs within 48 hours.
Yes, we are MCS-accredited for solar PV installation across Watford. Many Watford properties, particularly those in Cassiobury and Nascot Wood with unobstructed south-facing roofs, achieve excellent generation figures. We also install battery storage systems to maximise your energy independence and reduce bills further.
