In detail
What each job covers
Fuse Board Upgrades
Assessment of the existing board, isolation of the supply, removal of the old fuse box, installation of a new consumer unit with modern circuit breakers, and final testing and certification.
When you need it. Old fuse boxes using rewirable fuses, frequent blown fuses, or when adding significant new circuits to meet modern power demands.
Before you get in touch. Know the age of the installation and note any recurring electrical problems. Check if the consumer unit is in a safe, accessible location.
Rewiring
Complete removal of old wiring, installation of new cables in walls and ceilings, installation of new sockets and switches throughout, new fuse board, and full testing.
When you need it. Old cloth-covered wiring, frequent tripping electrics, planning a renovation, or the property is being rewired to meet modern standards.
Before you get in touch. Identify the age of wiring if known. Note any areas where you need additional sockets or switches. Clear access to loft and under-floor spaces.
Socket & Switch Installation
Locating suitable positions, running cable to the new socket or switch, fitting the outlet box, wiring and testing the new installation, and making good any damage.
When you need it. Kitchen or bathroom renovations, home office setup, adding power near furniture, or inadequate sockets in existing rooms.
Before you get in touch. Decide where you need sockets and switches. Check what's behind walls. Know if you need weatherproof or specialist outlets.
Lighting Installation
Running cables from the consumer unit or existing circuit, fitting ceiling roses or light fittings, wiring switches, installation of bulbs or LED modules, and full testing.
When you need it. Room renovations, adding task lighting, replacing outdated fittings, or upgrading to energy-efficient LED systems.
Before you get in touch. Decide fitting types and positions. Check room dimensions. Note if damp-proof or outdoor ratings are needed.
EV Charger Installation
Site assessment, installation of a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, mounting the charging unit, wiring and earthing, testing for safe operation, and EICR certification.
When you need it. Purchasing an electric vehicle, needing faster charging than a standard socket, or planning for future vehicle ownership.
Before you get in touch. Confirm your vehicle's charger type. Check driveway or parking space condition. Know your consumer unit's spare capacity.
PAT Testing
Visual inspection of appliances for damage, electrical testing with specialist equipment, recording results, labelling tested items, and issuing a comprehensive test report.
When you need it. Annual workplace safety checks, when hiring portable equipment, after equipment damage, or when regulations require periodic testing.

Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Can I install an EV charger on a normal 13-amp socket?
Technically yes, but it is very slow. A dedicated wall-mounted charger on its own circuit is safer and faster, charging fully overnight. Standard sockets deliver 2–3 kW; a dedicated charger delivers 7–22 kW depending on supply and unit.
What causes lights to flicker in a house?
Common causes include loose connections in the circuit or light fitting, overloaded circuits, faulty dimmer switches, or issues with the supply from the DNO. A loose neutral connection is also possible and requires urgent attention.
Is it safe to use extension leads permanently?
Extension leads are temporary solutions. Permanent use risks overheating, especially if daisy-chained or hidden behind furniture. A proper installed socket is safer, tidier, and meets building regulations.
What is the difference between rewiring and adding circuits?
Rewiring replaces all wiring throughout a property, usually when the installation is old or damaged. Adding circuits installs new cables for new appliances while keeping existing wiring. Rewiring is a major job; adding circuits is simpler and more targeted.
