In detail

What each job covers

Fuse Board Upgrades

Isolate the supply, disconnect the old fuse box, remove it, fit the new consumer unit, wire it up to current standards, test circuits, and commission the installation.

When you need it. Frequent blown fuses, flickering lights, unable to run modern appliances, or a property survey identifies an outdated board.

Before you get in touch. Know your current fuse type. Have an electrician's recent report if you have one.

Rewiring

Remove old wiring from walls and ceilings, install new cable in conduit or surface-mounted trunking, fit new outlets and switches, and test the entire new circuit.

When you need it. Frequent tripped circuits, visible crumbling insulation, a pre-purchase survey flags old wiring, or renovating a property.

Before you get in touch. Confirm budget and scope. Check access to lofts and under floors. List rooms needing new circuits.

Socket & Switch Installation

Cut outlet boxes into walls or surfaces, run cable to the board or existing circuit, fit the socket or switch, and test continuity and earthing.

When you need it. Not enough sockets in a kitchen, a bedroom, or office; switches in inconvenient places; or adding circuits for new appliances.

Before you get in touch. Know where you want outlets fitted. Check for pipes and cables behind walls first.

Lighting Installation

Plan cable routes, cut ceiling roses or wall boxes, run cable from the circuit board, wire the fitting, secure it, and test all switches and connections.

When you need it. Upgrading dated light fittings, adding lights to dark areas, installing spotlights, or rewiring during a renovation.

Before you get in touch. Decide on fitting locations and style. Check that plasterboard can support the weight.

EV Charger Installation

Survey the property and parking layout, run a dedicated cable from the board, fit a weatherproof charging unit, test it, and ensure it meets grid standards.

When you need it. Purchasing an electric vehicle and needing a fast, safe home charging point.

Before you get in touch. Confirm parking location and distance from the board. Check your driveway can be accessed.

PAT Testing

Visually inspect each appliance for damage, plug it in to test leads and earth, record results, label passed items, and flag faulty equipment.

Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What is PAT testing and why does a business need it?

PAT testing checks that portable electrical equipment is safe to use. UK law requires employers to ensure equipment is maintained and safe; testing provides evidence of that and reduces accident risk.

Can a socket be installed anywhere in a kitchen?

No. Sockets must be at least 30cm away from a sink, and kitchen work surfaces need sockets at regular intervals. Exact placement follows Building Regulations and safety distance rules.

Is a special circuit needed for an EV charger?

Yes. An EV charger must have its own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit with appropriate cable sizing and a protective device, as standard circuits cannot safely handle the load.

What happens during an electrical rewire?

Old wiring is removed, new cable installed to current standards, switches and outlets relocated or added, and the entire system is tested for safety and compliance before use.

Why do lights flicker in an old house?

Flickering often signals loose connections, an overloaded circuit, or aged wiring struggling to deliver steady power. Worn fuses or switches can also be the cause.
