Consumer units, rewires, inspections and EV charge points across the Meadow Lane villages — tested to the 18th Edition, written up the same week, and left tidy enough that you can tell where we worked only by the paperwork.
We agree the isolation window with you first, then work to it — freezers, servers and home offices included.
Every circuit we touch is tested and recorded, and the certificate reaches you within the same week.
After the survey you get a fixed figure with the materials listed, not an hourly guess at the door.
Six jobs make up most of our week. Each one has a fixed shape, so you can tell before booking roughly how long we'll be on site and what you'll be handed at the end.
Swapping an old fuse box or a unit without RCD protection for a metal-clad board with individual RCBOs, so one faulty appliance stops tripping the whole house.
Planned room by room so the property stays liveable. We agree the socket and lighting plan on paper before any cable is pulled, and we lift floorboards rather than chase ceilings where there's a choice.
The periodic condition report landlords, buyers and insurers ask for. We test, code each observation, and talk you through which items are genuinely urgent and which can wait for the next cycle.
We check the incoming supply and main fuse rating first, then site the unit where the cable actually reaches the car. Load management is set up if the supply is shared or close to capacity.
Kitchen and workshop lighting, extra sockets where extension leads have taken over, and armoured runs out to garages, studios and stables with their own protection at the far end.
Intermittent trips, warm sockets, a shower that cuts out under load. We isolate by circuit, measure rather than guess, and tell you what the fix costs before we carry it out.
Electrical work goes wrong when nobody says what happens next. This is the order we work in on almost every job, from a single socket to a staged rewire.
We look at the board, the earthing arrangement and the incoming supply, then photograph what matters so the quote is based on your property rather than an average one.
A fixed figure with materials listed, plus the hours the power will be off and which rooms are affected on each day.
Cables run, accessories fitted, and every circuit tested on the same visit. Anything we find along the way is raised before it becomes extra cost.
We walk you through the new board, label the schedule, clear up, and send the certificate with any notification reference the same week.
Paperwork is the part most people discover they're missing at the worst moment — mid-sale, mid-tenancy or mid-claim. Here's what leaves with you, depending on the job.
Issued for new circuits and board changes. It records the test results and confirms the work meets the current wiring regulations.
For additions to an existing circuit — an extra socket, a moved light switch — with the tests carried out on that circuit.
A full inspection with each observation coded by urgency. Landlords and buyers' solicitors usually want this one.
Notifiable work is registered on your behalf, and the reference is sent to you with the certificate rather than left for you to chase.
A readable list inside the board cover, so the next person — including you at midnight — can find the right breaker.
Where cables run under floors or across a garden, we note the depths and routes so future work doesn't cut through them.
We keep the patch small on purpose: it's the only way to hold a same-week response. Response windows below are for a first look, not the full job.
Honest answers to the things that decide whether a job is worth doing now or waiting for.
A consumer unit change is normally four to six hours of isolation. Adding a circuit is usually under an hour. For a staged rewire we isolate one floor at a time, so there's working light and at least one live socket for a kettle or a laptop throughout.
New circuits, board replacements and work in bathrooms or outdoors are notifiable. Replacing a like-for-like socket or light fitting is not. We tell you which category your job falls into at quote stage and handle the registration ourselves when it applies.
Not automatically. The questions that matter are whether there is RCD protection, whether the earthing and bonding are adequate, and what condition the cables are in. An inspection answers all three, and sometimes the honest outcome is bonding work rather than a new board.
Most single-phase homes can, but it depends on the main fuse rating and what else draws heavily — electric showers, induction hobs, heat pumps. If the margin is tight we fit load management so the charger reduces its draw instead of tripping the main fuse.
Yes, and we're used to coordinating it. We'll contact the tenant directly to agree access and the isolation window if you'd prefer, and we keep the landlord copied on the certificate and any coded observations.
We cut neatly, refit floorboards and leave chases ready for a plasterer. Finishing plaster and decorating aren't included unless the quote says so — we'd rather price it in clearly than surprise you with it.
Quotes hold for 60 days. Larger jobs carry a materials deposit, which is itemised on the quote; the balance is due after testing and handover, not before.
Burning smells, scorched accessories, water reaching a board, or a breaker that won't stay on. Switch off at the main switch, leave it off, and send us a message noting what happened just before — we'll prioritise it in the next available slot.
Electrical work can't be priced from a list, so this goes straight to the person who will survey it. The more you can say about the board and the access, the closer the first figure will be.
