Dan came to assess the work when he said he would and even sent a reminder which was very reassuring!
When improving a home, decorating is often seen as the final step. However, electrical work should always be completed first. As a local electrician in Newton Abbot, we are frequently called out to properties where decorating has already been completed, making electrical work far more disruptive than necessary.
In homes around Milber and Ogwell, homeowners often realise too late that sockets, switches, or lighting are not positioned where they actually need them. Once walls have been plastered or painted, even small electrical changes can mean damaging finished surfaces.
We regularly work in properties across Kingskerswell, where homes are updated room by room. Planning electrical work early allows additional sockets, lighting changes, or upgraded switching to be completed neatly before any decorating begins.
Why Should Electrical Work Always Be Planned Before Decorating?
Homeowners in Ipplepen often combine electrical work with kitchen or living room refurbishments. Addressing electrics first ensures appliances, feature lighting, and power points are positioned correctly, avoiding compromises later on.
Older properties in Highweek and Wolborough may also require attention to existing wiring before decoration. Older cables or layouts may not be suitable for modern electrical demands, and resolving these issues early prevents future disruption.
Planning electrical work before decorating also allows better design decisions. Lighting layouts, feature lighting, additional sockets, and switching arrangements can all be agreed in advance, resulting in a cleaner and more practical finish.
By completing electrical work first, decorating becomes the final stage rather than a setback.
