How do I know if I need an electrical inspection?
If your property hasn’t had its electrics checked for many years, it may be worth arranging an electrical inspection. Inspections help identify potential faults, outdated wiring, or safety issues. We also carry out electrical testing and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to ensure your system is safe and compliant.
What is an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed electrical inspection and testing of a property’s wiring, circuits, and electrical components. It helps identify any faults or potential safety risks and is often required for landlords or when buying or selling a property.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Signs that your property may require an electrical rewire include frequent tripping circuits, flickering lights, outdated fuse boards, or old wiring. If your home hasn’t been updated in many years, it may be worth having a qualified electrician carry out an electrical inspection to assess the system.
Can you help with electrical faults?
Yes. If you’re experiencing electrical problems such as power loss, tripping circuits, or faulty sockets, we can carry out fault finding and repairs. Our experienced electricians will identify the issue and complete the necessary electrician work safely.
Can you install outdoor lighting or outdoor power?

Yes, we provide three-phase electrical work for commercial and industrial properties where required. This includes installation, upgrades, and electrical servicing of three-phase systems.
