Fuse Board replacement
Having an up to date fuse board (consumer unit) is a major part of ensuring your electrics are safe and up to standard. All of our installations are fully certified and we'll even notify your building control. We'll test all the electrical circuits in the house during the installation, which will confirm the whole house is electrically safe.
Full or partial house rewire
An full electrical rewire on a house is usually done about every 25-30 years and it is important to plan ahead so there is enough spare capacity for any future expansion (loft conversion, house extension, etc). We have a professional team of fully trained and qualified electricians able to carry out an electrical rewire to ensure that your property meets the current electrical safety standards.
Electric shower installation
All electric showers require a dedicated cable from the consumer unit to the shower itself, you will need to consider the correct sizing of any new or existing cabling to ensure it is adequate for the Electric shower you have chosen.If upgrading to a higher Kilowatt shower it is essential to ensure the electrical supply and shower cable is adequate for the increased load.
Electric cooker & hob installation
The time has come to replace your electric cooker, whether it’s because your appliance is dead after years of use or simply because you want to modernise your kitchen. And that’s great, but Electric cookers require lots of power to operate since they generate intense amounts of heat.Since you need a separate fuse for your appliance, you will also need to fit your cooker on a separate circuit. This isolated system will ensure that your cooking appliance is drawing sufficient amounts of power at all times and that it is perfectly safe to work with.
Extra electrical sockets
Adding extra plug sockets can make your home a much safer place and as you eliminate the need for extension cables and adaptors.
Home Lighting
Having the right lighting in your home can help improve its ambience and aesthetic appeal, while also making it more secure. Whether you’re looking to upgrade the lights in your house, save on energy costs or install new lighting for an extension, we can provide the expert assistance you need.
Garden Lighting & garden power
Weatherproof sockets are an excellent solution for providing power-points outdoors and around the house. Outdoors sockets may be spurred, added to an existing ring or fed from an entirely new and separate circuit coming from the existing consumer unit. Outbuildings are becoming an integral part of our lives as people use them for freezers, tumble dryers and hobbies as well as much needed storage in today’s more compact dwellings. There is an ever increasing demand for power and lighting in outbuildings.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home to detect rising smoke from a fire. They should be placed inside or directly outside of each bedroom and common areas, and in laundry rooms and kitchens where fires can originate. To reduce false alarms when cooking, consider installing smoke alarms at least 10 feet away from any kitchen appliances. If you have a larger home, you’ll want to consider more alarms, that are situated in hallways and stairways. It’s best to install smoke detectors that can be interconnected so you’ll hear the alarm no matter where you are in your home.
