Overview
Everyday Electrical Work Done Properly
Not every electrical job involves a major installation. Often it is the smaller improvements around your home that make the biggest difference to how practical, comfortable and safe the property feels.
We help homeowners with a wide range of planned electrical work, from adding sockets and changing lighting to installing new circuits and power where it is needed.
Before work begins, we take the time to understand what you want to achieve and explain the most suitable way to complete it.
Every job is carried out by qualified electricians, with the same attention to detail whether it takes an hour or forms part of a larger project.

What To Avoid
Mistakes We Help You Avoid
Small electrical jobs still need to be completed properly. Cutting corners can create inconvenience, poor results and unnecessary work later.
Adding To An Unsuitable Circuit
New electrical points should be added with the existing installation in mind. We check what is already there before deciding the right approach.
Poor Positioning
Sockets, switches and lighting are much more useful when they are planned around how the room or area will actually be used.
Unclear Pricing
Even smaller jobs should come with a clear understanding of the likely cost and what work is included before anything begins.
Skipping Proper Testing
New or altered electrical work needs to be checked properly. We complete the appropriate testing for the work carried out.
Peace Of Mind
Guarantees & Aftercare
Our installation work is covered by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, giving you added reassurance after the job has been completed.
Where certification or electrical documentation is required for the work, we make sure the relevant testing is completed and the paperwork is provided.
