In detail
What each job covers
Fuse Board Upgrades
Survey the existing fuseboard, disconnect the supply, remove the old unit, install the new consumer unit with appropriate circuit breakers, test all circuits, and reconnect the supply.
When you need it. Old fuse boxes trip frequently, fuses blow repeatedly, adding new circuits is difficult, or the board is visibly corroded or damaged.
Before you get in touch. Know the age of your property and whether you've had any electrical problems. Check if your supplier has switched you to a smart meter.
Lighting Installation
Install ceiling rose or fitting brackets, run cable from the circuit, connect wires to the light unit, secure the shade or diffuser, test the installation.
When you need it. You want new light fittings, existing lights are broken or outdated, or you need lighting in a new room area.
Before you get in touch. Decide on light position and style. Check the circuit can handle the load. Measure ceiling height and confirm the existing cable runs.
EV Charger Installation
Survey the property and parking location, run armoured cable from the main board, install the charging point, test for correct voltage and earthing, commission the unit.
When you need it. You own or are buying an electric vehicle and need home charging, or your existing charger needs replacement.

Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
When does an old house need complete rewiring?
Properties built before 1980 with original wiring should be checked by an electrician. Rubber or cloth-insulated cable becomes brittle and fails. Any house with frequent electrical faults or tripping circuits may need partial or complete rewiring.
What is a circuit breaker panel and why is it better than a fuse box?
A modern circuit breaker panel (consumer unit) automatically switches off power if there's a fault, then can be reset. Fuse boxes require a new fuse each time they blow. Circuit breakers are more reliable, allow more circuits, and handle higher demand.
How many sockets should a typical room have?
Building Regulations suggest minimum provision: living rooms need at least 4 sockets, kitchens at least 6 near work surfaces, bedrooms at least 3. Modern homes often need more due to phone chargers, computers and home working.
Can any electrician install an EV charger?
Only a qualified electrician should install a charger. The work must meet Building Regulations and BS 7909. Incorrect installation risks electric shock and fire. Many chargers require a dedicated circuit from the main board.
What is PAT testing and who needs it?
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) checks electrical equipment like kettles, laptops and power tools for safety. Workplaces have a legal duty to maintain electrical equipment and should test annually or more often depending on use and environment.
How does earthing protect against electrical shock?
Earthing provides a safe path for fault current to travel to ground rather than through a person. A metal fault in an appliance would normally electrify the casing; earthing shorts it safely. All modern installation requires proper earthing.
