Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Box Replacement
A consumer unit (fuse box) protects the circuits in your home. We test the circuits and check the earthing and bonding before we recommend a new board. If the wiring needs repairs, we explain them first. A board’s age alone does not decide what needs replacing.
We label every circuit, test the finished work and supply the right certificate. We agree the power cut with you before we start. Tell us about any faults or new appliances. A new board will not fix damaged wiring elsewhere in the house.
Our consumer unit cost guide explains what affects the price.
Full and Partial House Rewiring
We carry out full and partial house rewires. Older homes do not always need a full rewire, so we check the existing wiring first. We ask how you use each room and explain what is needed before we price the job.
Share your room plans before work begins. Tell us whether you will be living in the house during the rewire, so we can discuss access and disruption.
Electrical Repairs & Fault Finding
Do your electrics keep tripping? Do you have a dead socket, flickering lights or a buzzing switch? We test the affected circuit to find the cause before we repair it. Fault finding is a core part of our electrical services.
We fix faults in homes, rental properties and businesses. Please do not keep resetting a breaker that trips. If a fault is unsafe, we make the area safe and explain the next step. We then test the circuit again before it goes back into use.
Note when the fault began and which appliances were running. Photos can help with an initial discussion, but never remove covers to take them.
Socket Installation, Lighting & New Circuits
Need more sockets or better lighting? We fit indoor and outdoor sockets, USB outlets and new lights, including LED lighting and motion sensors. We can add garden lighting for paths, steps and seating areas. We also fit cooker supplies, shower circuits, home EV chargers and garden-office power.
Before we start, we check the wiring, earthing and fuse board. We agree where each light points so it lights the right spots. We test the work before we leave.
For outdoor lights, we consider weather exposure, glare towards neighbours and access for maintenance. Sensor positions and controls should suit your routine.
Smoke, Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Installation
Our alarm installation service covers smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detection for homes and rental properties. We check the alarms already fitted, their power supply and how they link. We then explain suitable replacements or additions, fit the agreed units and test the finished system.
We show you how they work and how to check them. Landlords can ask us about alarms for rental homes. Tell us the age and model of your current alarms if you know them.
Commercial Electrical Work for Shops & Offices
We provide commercial electrical services for shops, offices, landlords and other businesses. We find faults and install lights, sockets and new power points. We also work on distribution boards and emergency lighting.
We agree the work and cost before we start. Where possible, we plan the job around your staff or tenants. Tell us your opening hours and any equipment that must keep running. We test the work and supply the right certificate.
Our commercial electrical services also cover repairs and planned upgrades. We discuss any planned power cuts before booking, so you can arrange access and protect the equipment you rely on.
Electrical Work Costs and Quotes
The price depends on the work. Access to the wiring and the state of the circuits also matter. A socket repair may take less work than a new circuit or a full rewire. We may need to find the fault before we can price a repair.
For planned work, we give you a clear quote before we start. If tests show another fault, we explain what it means and discuss the cost before doing more. You can ask questions and decide how you want to proceed. For a useful first reply, tell us the property type, the work you need and where you are.

How much do your electrical services cost?
The price depends on the job, the materials, access and the state of the wiring. A small repair usually costs less than a rewire. Some faults need testing before we can price them. For planned work, you get a written quote before we start.
Do you give a written quote for electrical services?
Yes. For planned work, you get a written quote that sets out the agreed work. Some jobs need a visit and testing first, so we can confirm a firm price. We explain any extra work and agree it with you before we start.
Will I get an electrical certificate?
We test the finished work and supply the right certificate for the job. New circuits and consumer unit replacements receive an Electrical Installation Certificate. Suitable changes to an existing circuit may receive a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. We explain which one applies to your job before we finish.
