From a single socket to a whole rewire, and from an EV charger to an EICR — every job quoted clearly, carried out to current regulations, and certified where required. NAPIT Assured (member #72260), all work certified to BS 7671.
01
A complete consumer unit upgrade — out with the ageing fuse board, in with a modern unit fitted with individual RCBOs, a surge protection device (SPD) and a non-combustible metal enclosure to the current standard. Every circuit is tested and the board is certified to BS 7671 on completion. It's the safety upgrade Andy is most often asked to design and fit.
02
A certified home EV charging point, sited and cabled around your driveway, garage or wall — not just bolted on. The install is designed to your property layout, connected back to the consumer unit with the right protection, and completed to meet the current building regulations for EV charging.
03
A full Electrical Installation Condition Report — the inspection and testing that proves an installation is safe. Andy carries out EICRs for landlords and letting agents meeting their legal duties, and for buyers and homeowners who want certainty before they commit. Findings are explained in plain English, with a clear picture of anything that needs attention.
04
Design and installation of Grade-A, mains-powered smoke and heat detection — interlinked and installed to the current UK standards for domestic fire alarm systems. The right coverage for your layout, wired in properly and certified, so the household is protected and any landlord obligations are met.
05
Lighting and power that changes how a room feels — bespoke indoor LED schemes, feature and garden lighting, extra sockets where you actually need them, and smart-home upgrades that put lighting and power under sensible control. Designed with you, wired cleanly and finished to current regulations.
06
Full-house rewires of older properties and complete wiring for extensions — the first fix, circuits, boards and final fittings, designed and certified to BS 7671. Whether it's stripping out failing rubber-insulated wiring or wiring a new extension from scratch, Andy covers the electrical side end to end.
07
The electrical side of a kitchen renovation — dedicated appliance circuits, worktop and island sockets, under-cabinet and pendant lighting, extraction and the fittings that tie it together. Coordinated around the rest of the build so the electrics are ready when the kitchen is, and signed off on completion.
08
When a circuit keeps tripping, a socket goes dead or the lights flicker, Andy traces the fault methodically and fixes the cause rather than the symptom — then tests and documents the circuit so you know it's sound. Diagnostic work and circuit repairs, done properly the first time.
09
The jobs some electricians won't turn out for: fitting a light fixture, adding an extra socket, swapping a switch, minor domestic tidy-ups. Andy takes them on with the same care as the big installs — quoted clearly, done neatly, and left safe.
10
Fitting individual RCBOs — residual-current breakers with built-in overcurrent protection — so a single fault trips only its own circuit rather than plunging the whole property into darkness. A precise, per-circuit safety improvement Andy fits as part of a board upgrade or on its own, tested and certified.
Inside a consumer unit upgrade
Individual RCBOs
Each circuit on its own residual-current breaker with overcurrent protection — a fault trips only that circuit, not the whole house.
Surge protection (SPD)
A surge protection device guards sensitive electronics against spikes from the grid and nearby strikes.
Non-combustible enclosure
A metal, non-combustible consumer unit enclosure to the current standard, not old-style plastic.
Tested & certified
Every circuit tested and the installation certified to BS 7671, with the paperwork to prove it.
