Frequently asked questions

Yes. All quotes are free and come with no obligation. For smaller jobs we can often give you a price over the phone; for larger projects such as rewires, we'll visit to take a look and then provide a clear written quote.

For most planned work we provide a fixed price, so you know exactly what you'll pay before we start. Fault finding is charged on time spent, and we'll keep you informed as we go. If we discover anything unexpected, we'll always discuss it with you before carrying out extra work.

We'll confirm payment terms with your quote. For larger projects, payment may be staged in line with the work completed.

Absolutely. No job is too small - whether it's replacing a light fitting, adding a socket or fixing a faulty switch, we're happy to help.

Yes. As well as domestic work, we carry out installations, maintenance, inspections and repairs for shops, offices, landlords and small businesses.

Yes. All work is tested on completion and you'll receive the appropriate certificate - an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits and major work, or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for smaller jobs. Notifiable work is registered with Building Control.

Always. We treat your home with respect, use dust sheets and floor protection, and leave every job clean and tidy.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed electrical installation in a property. It checks that the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches and fittings are safe and identifies anything that needs attention.

For owner-occupied homes, an inspection is recommended at least every ten years, and whenever the property changes hands. Rented homes must be inspected at least every five years.

Some very minor work, such as replacing a like-for-like light switch, can be done by a competent person. But many jobs - including new circuits, consumer unit changes and work in bathrooms - are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations and must be certified. For your safety, we always recommend using a qualified electrician.

Switch off and unplug anything connected to it if it's safe to do so, and switch off the circuit at the consumer unit. Don't use the socket again until it has been checked. Then give us a call.
