Yes, we provide electrical services for domestic, commercial, and light industrial projects.
No, we do not remove rubbish from the site. All cardboard materials will be bundled together, and any other waste will be placed in a black bag for disposal by the customer. For large amounts of waste, we can arrange for removal at an additional cost, which will be agreed upon in advance.

We do our best to accommodate emergency call-outs, depending on availability. Please call us directly to check our schedule.
First, unplug all appliances and try resetting the switch. If it still won’t reset, there may be a fault in the wiring, and you should call an electrician for a diagnosis.
Signs that your home may need rewiring include frequent electrical issues, outdated wiring (e.g. black rubber or fabric-covered wires), or a lack of modern safety features like RCDs. We can carry out an inspection to check the condition of your wiring.
If your consumer unit has rewire-able fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, it may not meet current safety standards. Upgrading to a modern fuse board with RCD protection can significantly improve safety.
No, an EICR is not a legal requirement when selling a property, but it can help speed up the sale process by proving the electrics are safe. Some buyers may request an EICR before proceeding, also some mortgage companies will request this and may hold funds back until a EICR has been completed.
