Questions

Find answers to common questions about electrical work and safety.

How often should PAT testing happen?
PAT testing should be carried out annually for most businesses, though high-risk environments may require more frequent checks. The frequency depends on equipment type and usage patterns. Always consult with a qualified electrician to determine your specific needs.
What does a full rewire involve?
A full rewire replaces all electrical wiring and components in a property, bringing the system up to current safety standards. The process typically takes one to two weeks depending on property size. Our team will minimise disruption and handle all necessary testing and certification.
Is EV charging installation difficult?
Installation complexity depends on your existing electrical infrastructure and desired charging speed. We assess your property and recommend the best solution for your needs. Most domestic installations can be completed within a single day.
What's included in an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report examines all fixed wiring, circuits, and components for safety and compliance. We identify any defects or areas needing attention and provide recommendations. This is essential for landlords and businesses to ensure tenant safety.
Do you work on listed buildings?
We have experience working on listed properties while respecting conservation requirements. Our team understands the specific regulations and sensitivities involved. Contact us to discuss your listed building project.
How much does a new consumer unit cost?
Consumer unit costs vary based on the unit type, your property's electrical demands, and any additional work needed. We provide transparent quotes after assessing your requirements. Modern units improve safety and can reduce energy costs.
Reach out to our team for expert advice.
Most homes develop electrical faults gradually, not overnight. Worn insulation, loose connections, and corroded components accumulate silently until they pose a real risk. Regular inspections catch these problems early, before they become dangerous.
When should I get an EICR?
If you're renting out a property, regulations now require an EICR every five years. For homeowners, we recommend one every ten years, or sooner if you notice warning signs. Older homes should be checked more frequently due to aging infrastructure.
What causes electrical fires?
Overloaded circuits, damaged wiring, and faulty appliances are the main culprits. Moisture and corrosion can also trigger failures. Most fires start small and go unnoticed until they spread, which is why prevention through regular testing matters so much.
Can I ignore flickering lights?
No. Flickering lights indicate your system is struggling to deliver consistent power, often due to loose connections or circuit overload. This is your home's way of warning you something needs attention. Have it checked promptly by a qualified electrician.
