In detail
What each job covers
Fuse Board Upgrades
Disconnect the old fuse box, install a new consumer unit with circuit breakers, reconnect circuits, and test the installation to ensure everything is safe and compliant.
When you need it. Old fuse boxes are unreliable, trips keep happening, you have blown fuses regularly, or an electrician has flagged safety concerns.
Before you get in touch. Note which circuits trip most often. Check if you can access the fuse box location easily. Have photos of the old unit if possible.
Socket & Switch Installation
Route cable from the nearest circuit, cut and fit the socket or switch box into the wall, connect the wires, and test to confirm it works safely.
When you need it. You need power or lighting in a new location, existing sockets are overloaded, or you want to reorganise a room layout.
Before you get in touch. Mark where you want sockets or switches. Check what's behind the wall (pipes, studs). Note if the wall is load-bearing or plasterboard.
Lighting Installation
Install light fittings, run cable from the circuit, connect earth and neutral wires, secure the fitting, and test the light and switch function.
When you need it. You want brighter or different lighting, a fitting is broken or outdated, or you need lights in a new extension or outdoor area.
Before you get in touch. Decide on fitting style and colour temperature. Check the ceiling can support the weight. Have the room dimensions if asking about coverage.
EV Charger Installation
Run a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit to the charging point location, install a weatherproof wall mount, connect the charger, and commission it safely.
When you need it. You own or plan to buy an electric vehicle and want convenient home charging rather than relying on public charge points.
Before you get in touch. Confirm your vehicle model and charger type. Check your parking location and distance from the house. Establish if you have off-street parking.
PAT Testing
Visually inspect each appliance for damage, test for electrical faults using calibrated equipment, log results, and label items as pass or fail.

Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
Why does my electrics keep tripping?
Repeated tripping usually means a circuit is overloaded, there is a fault in an appliance, or water is getting into an outdoor socket. An electrician can identify which circuit trips and test appliances to find the cause.
Can I install a socket or light switch myself?
Minor work like replacing a switch plate is safe, but running new cable, installing new circuits, or extending circuits requires a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with building regulations.
What is an EICR and do I need one?
An EICR is an electrical installation condition report—a detailed safety check of all fixed wiring and systems. Landlords must have one every five years; homeowners may need one when buying or selling a property.
How much power does an EV charger need?
Most home EV chargers need a dedicated 32-amp circuit, which requires a new cable run from the consumer unit and a weatherproof installation outside. Installation complexity depends on how far the charger is from the house.
What should I do if an appliance fails PAT testing?
A failed appliance should be taken out of use immediately. It can be repaired and retested, or scrapped. The business using it must not allow it to be plugged in or used until it passes the next test.
