PAT Testing
Our PAT testing ensures electrical appliances meet safety standards through thorough inspection and electronic testing. We provide detailed reports with pass/fail results, compliance certificates, and recommendations for repairs. This service helps businesses maintain safe working environments while fulfilling legal obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations.
House Rewires
We specialise in complete electrical rewiring for residential properties, replacing outdated systems with modern, safe installations. Our process includes circuit design optimisation, fuse board upgrades, and installation of energy-efficient components. All work complies with BS 7671 standards, with certification provided upon completion to guarantee safety and compliance for homeowners and future property transactions.
Consumer Unit Changes
Upgrading outdated fuse boards to modern consumer units enhances electrical safety and system reliability. We install units with residual current devices (RCDs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) to protect against electrical faults. This service addresses common issues like frequent tripping, outdated wiring, and insufficient circuit capacity in both domestic and commercial properties.
Electrical Installation
From new builds to property extensions, we handle complete electrical system installations following BS 7671 regulations. Our services include lighting design, power socket placement, and integration of smart home technologies. We coordinate with builders and architects to ensure seamless implementation of lighting circuits, heating systems, and emergency lighting solutions tailored to client requirements.
Safety Inspections
Our comprehensive safety inspections identify potential hazards in existing electrical systems through visual checks and advanced testing. We produce detailed Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) highlighting any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance issues. This service is essential for landlords, businesses, and homeowners seeking to maintain safe, code-compliant electrical systems.
