From a single extra socket to a full extension, I do electrical work for homes and businesses, inside and out.
Whether it's a domestic or commercial job, get in touch and I'll talk through what you need.
Every job that needs a certificate gets one, sent to you digitally once it's complete.
Most fuse box (consumer unit) changes come in between £600 and £1,000, with no VAT to add. See the pricing page for more.
A straightforward replacement is usually a day's work, tested and certified before I leave.
Old or worn wiring often struggles to cope with modern demands. You may not know it, but all wiring has an expiry date, after which the insulation begins to break down and it becomes unsafe. A rewire replaces the cables, sockets and switches, and is comprehensively tested before I sign it off.
It's a big job. The property usually needs to be empty, and walls and floors will need replastering and redecorating afterwards, so a rewire is usually timed with another project like a renovation.
Not sure whether your wiring needs replacing? An EICR will tell you.
At least a couple of weeks. It's a job best paired with a bigger renovation, since a rewire can happen at the same time as other trades are doing their bit, rather than as a standalone project.
Yes, I'd strongly recommend it. I need access to pretty much every room, and chasing into walls creates a huge amount of dust.
Burying cables in interior walls means cutting channels into them, called chasing, which will need to be made good afterwards — that's a job for a plasterer, not something I do. Building regulations set rules for how and where chases can be cut, specifically to prevent them causing any structural damage.
There isn't one single sign to look out for. An EICR is what will tell you for certain.
I love a puzzle, and figuring out what's causing your tripping garden lights is even more fun for me than Wordle. I'm methodical, logical, and I'll help you understand what's going on and how the problem can be fixed.
Fault finding is often an open-ended problem, so I can't offer a fixed quote in advance. This work is charged at my standard hourly rate. I'll keep you updated with what I find as I go, and I can stop at any time to stay within your budget.
Whether you've got a dodgy socket, a tripping RCD, or lights that flicker when it rains, get in touch and I'll do all I can to help.
RCDs protect against earth faults — current going somewhere it shouldn't. That's often down to water ingress, rodent damage, or something like a picture hook driven through a cable, but it takes a proper investigation to narrow down exactly which one.
It could be the socket itself, damaged wiring, or a loose connection somewhere else in the circuit. Loose connections can cause fires, so it's worth looking into even if it's a socket you don't use much.
A common cause is non-dimmable LEDs fitted to a dimmer switch, or a dimmer that isn't compatible with your LEDs. It can also be a loose connection or water ingress, which is more serious and worth getting looked at.
If you've got an electrical job, a problem, or even just a question that isn't listed above, get in touch and I'll do what I can to help.
