Domestic Electrical Services
For homeowners who want things done right the first time.
All Domestic Work. Handled Properly.
Our Domestic Electrical Services
Here’s exactly what we offer:
Full & Partial House Rewires
If your electrics are more than a couple of decades old, it’s likely they’ll need updating. We carry out complete and partial rewires in all types of homes — whether it’s a terraced house, a flat, a bungalow, or a large detached property.
We’ll carefully remove the old wiring, install new cable routes, and fit new sockets, switches, lighting, and a modern consumer unit. We also make sure the layout fits how you actually use your home — no more awkward socket locations or dated light switches.
All our rewiring jobs include full testing, certification, and compliance with Part P and the latest wiring regulations (BS7671).
When to consider a rewire:
- You’re renovating the house
- You’ve been told it’s not up to current standards
- You’re experiencing frequent faults or blown fuses
- The property still has a fuse box (not a consumer unit)
- There’s no earthing on metal fittings
New Build & Extension Installations
If you’re building a new home or extending your current one, we can handle the full electrical installation from start to finish. We work directly with your builder, architect or project manager to make sure the wiring is planned in at the right stages — no delays, no rework.
We’ll handle:
- First fix (wiring, cabling, back boxes)
- Second fix (sockets, lighting, testing)
- Consumer unit install
- Fire detection and smoke alarms
- External power and lighting
- Certification for building control sign-off
We can also advise on energy-efficient setups, home office layouts, and future-proofing the install for EV chargers or solar battery storage.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades
Still got an old fuse box? Replacing it with a modern consumer unit is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make in your home.
We install new 18th edition-compliant boards with RCD and SPD protection as standard. This reduces the risk of electric shock and protects your appliances from surges.
All installs are tested, certified, and logged correctly with building control where required.
Internal & External Lighting
Need to change your light fittings, add spotlights, or create better lighting around your home? We install all kinds of lighting setups — both inside and out.
That includes:
- Downlights and spotlights
- Pendant fittings and feature lighting
- Loft, garage, and shed lighting
- Outdoor wall lights
- PIR security lighting
- Decking and garden feature lighting
We’ll help you place lighting where it’s most effective, and make sure it’s safe, properly switched, and controlled how you want.
Socket & Switch Installation
Adding or upgrading sockets and switches can improve how your home functions every day. Whether you need USB sockets, brushed steel faceplates, or just want to get rid of old, cracked plastic ones — we’ll sort it.
We also add shaver sockets, cooker switches, isolators, and grid switches where needed — cleanly installed and correctly fused.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Lights flickering? Sockets dead? Fuse tripping? We diagnose and fix faults quickly and safely.
We use the proper test equipment to identify the root cause — not guesswork. Once we know the problem, we’ll explain what needs to be done and either repair it there and then or arrange a return visit if parts are needed.
Smoke Alarms & Fire Safety Systems
We install smoke alarms, heat detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors for homes, rental properties, and HMOs. We only use reliable, regulation-approved models — no cheap, short-life units.
We’ll wire in interlinked alarms where required, test them properly, and issue documentation if it’s for a rental property or part of a compliance inspection.
