In detail
What each job covers
Fuse Board Upgrades
Removal of the old fuse box, installation of a new consumer unit with circuit breakers, earthing and bonding checks, and certification of the completed work.
When you need it. Fuses blow repeatedly, sockets trip out frequently, or an insurer or surveyor flags an old board as unsafe.
Before you get in touch. Note which circuits trip or fuse most often. Check if you know the house age or when the board was last worked on.
Rewiring
Removal of old cabling, installation of new wiring to current standards throughout the property, new outlets positioned as needed, testing and certification.
When you need it. Frequent electrical faults, flickering lights, only two-pin sockets, or survey recommends rewiring for safety.
Before you get in touch. Understand the scope: whole house, one floor, or specific rooms. Identify which sockets and switches you need.
Socket & Switch Installation
Boxing out or chasing walls to run cable, fitting outlet boxes, installing sockets or switches, testing the circuit, and making good.
When you need it. Need extra sockets in a room, want to relocate a switch, or have a new appliance to connect.
Before you get in touch. Measure the distance from the new location to the nearest circuit. Note the type of wall: plasterboard, brick, or tile.
Lighting Installation
Fitting new light fittings, running cables to switches, installing ceiling roses and junction boxes, wiring circuits, and full testing.
When you need it. Adding lights to a new room, upgrading outdated fittings, or wanting to install spotlights or outdoor lights.
Before you get in touch. Decide where lights are needed and what type of fitting you want. Check if switches are in the right place.
EV Charger Installation
Site survey, installing a dedicated cable from the consumer unit, fitting the charging unit to the wall, earthing and testing.
When you need it. Buying an electric vehicle and needing a safe, reliable way to charge at home or work premises.
Before you get in touch. Know your vehicle model and charger type. Confirm your car's electrical requirements from the documentation.
PAT Testing
Visual inspection of appliances and leads, electrical testing under load, documentation of results, repair or removal of unsafe items.
When you need it. Annual compliance required for workplace safety, or routine check of office and workshop equipment.
Before you get in touch. Gather all appliances needing testing. List any equipment you know has faults or damaged leads.

Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is a consumer unit and why do I need one?
A consumer unit is the main switchboard that distributes electricity safely around a property and protects circuits with circuit breakers. Modern units meet safety standards; older fuse boxes offer less protection and many insurers won't cover older boards.
Can I add a socket myself or do I need an electrician?
Any work on fixed electrical installations must be done safely and tested properly. An electrician ensures the new circuit is correctly earthed, protected, and meets building regulations. Poorly done work is a fire and shock risk.
What happens if my lights keep flickering?
Flickering usually means a loose connection, overloaded circuit, or failing fitting. An electrician can trace the fault by testing each circuit and connection. The problem may be at the light, the switch, or the main board.
Is it safe to use extension leads permanently?
Extension leads are for temporary use only. Permanent circuits with properly installed sockets are safer and more practical. Overloaded extension leads overheat and cause fires; fixed wiring is designed and protected correctly.
What should I expect during a full house rewire?
The electrician will remove old cables, install new ones to current standards, fit new outlets and switches, test each circuit, and provide certification. Walls may need chasing for cables. The job typically takes several weeks depending on property size.
