In detail

What each job covers

Fuse Board Upgrades

Assessment of the existing fuse box, removal of the old unit, installation of a new consumer unit with updated MCBs or RCBOs, reconnection of circuits, and testing to confirm everything works safely.

When you need it. An old fuse box with rewireable fuses, frequent blown fuses, not enough circuits for modern needs, or no RCD protection.

Before you get in touch. Know the age of your property and current fuse board type if possible. Clear access to the board.

Rewiring

Complete removal of old wiring throughout the property, installation of new cables in walls and ceilings, fitting new socket and switch outlets, and full testing of all circuits for safety compliance.

When you need it. Old fabric or rubber insulation, frequent electrical problems, adding circuits, preparing for renovation, or meeting safety standards.

Before you get in touch. Note which areas need attention. Have a rough floor plan available if helpful.

Socket & Switch Installation

Locating the desired position, cutting out the wall box, running cable from the consumer unit or existing circuit, fitting the socket or switch plate, testing for correct polarity and earth continuity.

When you need it. Need extra power points in a room, want to relocate outlets or switches, or adding convenience sockets in kitchens and offices.

Before you get in touch. Mark where you want sockets or switches. Note if you need them in inaccessible walls.

Lighting Installation

Running cables from the lighting circuit, fitting ceiling roses or junction boxes, connecting the light fitting, installing bulkhead or recessed downlights, and full testing of switches and circuits.

When you need it. Installing new lights during renovation, adding lights to dark areas, upgrading to LED-compatible fittings, or fitting spotlights.

Before you get in touch. Decide on light positions and type. Check if existing circuits can handle new loads.

EV Charger Installation

Site survey and electrical assessment, installing a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, fitting the charger unit to the wall, testing for correct operation, and ensuring cable safety.

When you need it. Purchasing an electric vehicle and needing safe home charging faster than a standard three-pin plug allows.

Before you get in touch. Know your vehicle type and preferred charger location. Have driveway or parking layout details ready.

PAT Testing

Visual inspection of appliances for damage, electrical safety tests including earth continuity and insulation resistance, documentation of results, and labelling of tested equipment with pass or fail status.

When you need it. Workplace compliance requirements, annual health and safety checks, before hiring hired equipment, or after damage or repair.

Before you get in touch. Gather all equipment needing testing. Ensure appliances are accessible and plugged in where needed.

Good to know

Common questions

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

What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?

A fuse box uses rewireable wire fuses that blow when overloaded. A modern consumer unit uses MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) that trip and reset automatically, offering better protection and convenience.

How often should PAT testing be done?

Frequency depends on the environment and appliance type. Commercial settings typically require annual testing. High-risk equipment like heaters may need more frequent checks. A qualified electrician can advise on your specific needs.

Can I install an EV charger myself?

No. EV charger installation requires a qualified electrician to assess the supply, install a dedicated circuit, and ensure it meets safety standards. Improper installation poses serious fire and electrocution risks.

What should I do if my lights keep flickering?

Flickering lights can indicate loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a faulty switch. Turn off the affected circuit and contact an electrician. Do not ignore this as it may indicate a fire risk.

Is rewiring disruptive to my home?

Yes. Rewiring involves cutting into walls and ceilings to run new cables. It can take days or weeks depending on property size. Discuss access and phasing with the electrician beforehand.

What is an RCD and why do I need one?

An RCD (residual current device) detects electrical faults and cuts power in milliseconds to prevent electrocution. UK safety standards require RCD protection on most circuits, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
