In detail

What each job covers

Fuse Board Upgrades

Assessment of current fuse board, isolation of the supply, removal of old unit, installation of new consumer unit with circuit breakers, testing, and certification of the new installation.

When you need it. Old fuse boxes with wire fuses are unsafe and insurance may not cover damage. Modern circuit breakers trip automatically when there is an overload.

Before you get in touch. Check where the fuse box is located. Note if you have experienced any tripping or sparking issues previously.

Socket & Switch Installation

Locating cable runs, cutting openings in walls, fitting new back boxes, running cable where possible, installing new sockets or switches, and testing circuits.

When you need it. Additional sockets needed for appliances, phones, or devices. Switches in inconvenient locations or old switches failing.

Before you get in touch. Identify exactly where new sockets or switches are needed. Confirm if wall chasing for cables is acceptable.

Lighting Installation

Planning light positions, running new circuits from the consumer unit or existing circuits, installing light fittings, connecting switches, testing, and making safe.

When you need it. Upgrading dated lighting, adding lights to dark areas, installing spotlights or decorative fittings, or rewiring existing circuits.

Before you get in touch. Decide on light positions and style of fittings. Check if existing switches can be used or if new switch runs are needed.

EV Charger Installation

Assessing electrical supply capacity, installing dedicated circuit from consumer unit, fitting weatherproof cabling, mounting charger unit, and commissioning with testing.

When you need it. Electric vehicle owners need home charging infrastructure. Standard three-pin sockets are unsafe and slow for EV charging.

Before you get in touch. Confirm your vehicle type and charger model. Identify preferred installation location and ensure parking space is accessible.

PAT Testing

Visual inspection of appliances and leads for damage, electrical testing using calibrated equipment, labelling items as safe or faulty, and providing test certificates.

When you need it. Workplaces must ensure electrical equipment is safe. Regular testing is legal requirement for businesses with employee responsibility.

Before you get in touch. Gather all appliances and portable equipment to be tested. List any items already known to have faults.

Good to know

Common questions

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

Can I add sockets to an existing circuit?

Yes, but the circuit must not be overloaded. Typical domestic circuits handle 16 amps; adding sockets increases load. An electrician will check if the existing circuit can safely accommodate new sockets or if a new circuit is needed.

What is PAT testing and who needs it?

Portable appliance testing checks electrical equipment for safety faults. Workplaces, landlords, and organisations with employee duty of care must test appliances regularly. Domestic users may test voluntarily but are not legally required to.

Do I need a special circuit for an EV charger?

Yes. EV chargers require a dedicated 32-amp circuit from the consumer unit with appropriate cabling and protection. Existing circuits are not suitable and three-pin sockets present a fire risk when charging regularly.

What causes flickering lights in a house?

Loose connections, faulty switches, overloaded circuits, or deteriorating wiring can cause flickering. Older properties with rewirable fuses are particularly prone. An electrician can identify the cause and remedy it safely.

How much disruption does rewiring cause?

Rewiring requires chasing cables through walls and ceilings, which creates dust and damage to plaster. The property is usually live in sections during work. Timescale depends on property size, but preparation for decoration and repair is necessary.
