Services
House Rewires
We perform complete property rewiring, working methodically through first fix cable installation and second fix accessory fitting. Temporary power supply is maintained during initial stages, with phased execution across floors. Our process includes wall chasing, floorboard lifting, and necessary plastering, always using dust sheets to protect interiors.
Electrical Inspections
Our qualified inspectors conduct periodic testing to maintain electrical safety compliance. This covers circuit testing, installation condition assessment, and certification according to BS 7671 standards. Reports are provided for insurance purposes, detailing any required remedial work with clear explanations of findings.
Emergency Repairs
We provide urgent electrical fault repairs outside standard office hours. Our engineers resolve issues like tripping circuits, power failures, and damaged consumer units. Emergency work prioritises safety while minimising property disruption, with temporary solutions trialled where appropriate.
Outside Lighting
We install exterior lighting systems for gardens and outbuildings. This includes weatherproof fixtures, dedicated circuits, and safety switches. All installations meet current regulations for external electrical work, ensuring both functionality and safety.
Consumer Unit Replacement
We replace outdated fuse boards with modern consumer units incorporating required residual current devices. Work includes circuit reorganisation, earthing improvements, and full testing to guarantee compliance with the latest wiring regulations.
