Electrical work, explained before it starts
Whatever the job, it starts the same way: you tell us what's going on, we explain what it's likely to be, and you get a price before any work starts.
Emergency call-outs
24-hour emergency call-outs for power cuts, burning smells and faults that can't wait.
If you've lost power, something smells of burning, or a fault means part of your home or business can't be used, call us at any hour. Tell us what's happening and we'll talk you through making it safe while we're on the way.
When we arrive we find the cause, make it safe, and explain what's needed to put it right properly, with a price before any further work.
- 24-hour call-outs
- Advice on making it safe while we travel
- The fault found and made safe
- A clear price for the full repair
Good for: Power cuts, burning smells, scorched sockets and anything that can't wait until morning.
Sample photo Fault finding & rectification
Tripping RCDs, scorched sockets and power that keeps cutting out, traced properly and explained before anything is replaced.
When something trips, flickers or smells of burning, the first job is finding out why. Call and describe what's happening: we'll talk through the likely causes on the phone, so you know what to expect before we arrive.
On the visit we test the circuit, find the actual fault and show you what we've found. Then you get a clear explanation and a price for putting it right, and nothing gets replaced that doesn't need to be. Once it's fixed, everything is tested and working before we leave.
- Advice on the phone before we visit
- Testing to find the real cause
- A clear explanation of what we found
- A price before the work starts
- Everything tested before we leave
Good for: RCDs that keep tripping, scorched or warm sockets, lights that flicker, or power that cuts out.
Sample photo Consumer unit upgrades
Old fuse boxes and tired consumer units upgraded to modern boards.
If your home still has an old fuse box, or a consumer unit that's showing its age, replacing it is one of the most worthwhile electrical jobs you can do. We'll look at what you have, explain what a new board involves, and give you a price before any work is booked.
On the day, the power will be off while we work, and we'll tell you roughly how long beforehand. Everything is tested before the power goes back on.
- A look at your existing board
- A clear quote before booking
- Fitting the new consumer unit
- Testing before power goes back on
Good for: Homes with an old fuse box, or a board with no RCD protection.
Sample photo Rewires
Full and partial rewires for homes with old or unsafe wiring.
Older wiring can cause the kind of faults that keep coming back. Where a repair won't do, we can rewire part or all of a property. We'll explain what needs doing and why, give you a price, and talk you through how the work will be done so you know what to expect in each room.
- An honest view on whether you need it
- Full or partial rewires
- A price before work is booked
- Testing on completion
Good for: Older properties, renovations, and faults that keep coming back.
Sample photo Sockets and switches
Damaged, scorched or tired sockets and switches replaced, and extra ones added where you need them.
A cracked, loose or scorched socket isn't something to live with. We replace damaged sockets and switches, swap old fittings for new ones, and can add sockets where you're running out.
We'll tell you what's involved before we start, keep the mess to a minimum, and check every circuit we've touched before we go.
- Damaged or scorched sockets replaced
- Old switches and sockets swapped for new
- Extra sockets added
- Everything checked before we leave
Good for: A socket that's damaged or scorched, or a room that never has enough plugs.
Sample photo Lighting
Ceiling lights, pendants and fittings replaced or added, indoors and out.
From swapping a tired ceiling fitting for a pendant to replacing several fixtures at once, we fit lighting neatly and safely. Tell us what you've got in mind and we'll tell you what's possible with your existing wiring.
Customers have had multiple sockets and light fittings replaced in one visit, so if you've got a list, it's worth doing together.
- Ceiling lights and pendants
- Several fittings in one visit
- Advice on what your wiring allows
- Tested and working before we go
Good for: Updating a room, replacing old fittings, or adding light where it's needed.
Sample photo PAT testing & certification
PAT testing for appliances, and certification for electrical work and installations.
We carry out PAT testing on portable appliances for landlords, offices and workplaces, and provide certification for electrical work and installations.
Tell us what you need the certificate for and we'll explain what's involved, how long it takes and what it costs before we book it in.
- PAT testing of portable appliances
- Certification for electrical work
- A clear explanation of what's needed
- A price before we book
Good for: Landlords, offices, shops and anyone who needs paperwork for their electrics.
Sample photo Alarm & CCTV systems
Security cameras and alarm systems fitted to homes and businesses.
We fit CCTV cameras and alarms, from a camera over the front door to a full system. We'll talk through where the cameras should go and what you want to see, then fit and test everything so it works from day one.
- Advice on where cameras should go
- Cameras and alarms fitted
- Wiring done neatly
- Tested before we leave
Good for: Homeowners and small businesses who want to keep an eye on things.
Sample photo Questions about the work
My RCD keeps tripping. What should I do?
Note what was on when it tripped, then call us. A tripping RCD is doing its job: something on that circuit has a fault. We'll talk through the likely causes and come out to find it.
There's a scorch mark on my socket. Is it dangerous?
Stop using it and call us. A scorched socket usually means a loose connection or a damaged fitting, and it should be replaced and the circuit checked.
Will you tell me the price before you start?
Yes. You'll know the price before any work starts, and that's what you pay.

Yes, 24 hours a day. Call 07941 746878, tell us what's happening and we'll talk you through making it safe while we're on our way.
Do you replace old fuse boxes?
