What each job covers
Fuse Board Upgrades
Removal of the old fuse box or consumer unit, installation of new dual RCD consumer unit with updated breakers, testing of all circuits, certification of the work.
When you need it. Old fuse boxes with rewireable fuses, frequently tripping circuits, no spare capacity for new appliances, or age-related wear.
Before you get in touch. Note which circuits trip or cause problems. Check your main switch location. Have photos of the existing board.
Socket & Switch Installation
Boxing in existing cable or running new cable routes, cutting and fitting backboxes, installation of socket or switch plates, and testing.
When you need it. Need more outlets for appliances, poor socket placement, adding charging points, or replacing worn switches.
Before you get in touch. Identify exact locations needed. Check wall construction. Ensure furniture can be moved if needed.
Lighting Installation

EV Charger Installation
Assessment of supply capacity, installation of dedicated circuit and breaker, wall mounting of charge point, earthing and testing.
When you need it. Purchasing an electric vehicle and needing a home charging point rather than relying on public infrastructure.
Before you get in touch. Know your vehicle model and charger preference. Check if your driveway or garage suits wall mounting.

Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
Fuse boxes use replaceable fuses to protect circuits; consumer units use resettable breakers (MCBs) and residual current devices (RCDs) which are faster, safer, and meet current regulations.
Can an electric vehicle charger be fitted to any home?
Most homes can have a charger installed, but it requires a dedicated circuit, appropriate cable gauge, and sufficient capacity in the consumer unit. A survey is needed to confirm suitability.
Why do lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on?
Flickering usually signals an overloaded circuit, poor connections, or undersized cable. A voltage drop test identifies the cause, and additional circuits or rewiring may resolve it.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
Employers have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure appliances are safe. PAT testing is the standard method of checking portable equipment in workplaces.
How long does a full house rewire typically take?
Duration depends on property size and condition. A 3-bedroom semi typically takes 5–10 working days. Older properties, loft access issues, and concrete floors can extend the timescale.
