Services
Electrical Testing
We conduct comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) to assess electrical safety compliance. Our testing identifies potential hazards in domestic and commercial properties, ensuring installations meet BS 7671 standards. Regular testing prevents electrical fires and shocks while maintaining legal compliance for landlords and businesses.
EV Charging Points
As OZEV-approved installers, we provide domestic and workplace EV charging solutions. Our services include site assessments, grant-eligible installations, and compliance with latest regulations. We support various vehicle brands and ensure safe, efficient charging infrastructure for residential and commercial properties.
Electrical Rewires
We perform complete electrical rewiring for properties requiring modernisation. Our process replaces outdated systems with compliant installations, enhancing safety and functionality. We coordinate with decorators and builders to minimise disruption during upgrades for homes, businesses, and industrial sites across Ayrshire.
Consumer Units
We replace outdated distribution boards with modern consumer units meeting 18th Edition standards. Upgrades include RCD protection, surge protection devices, and compliance with current regulations. This work reduces fire risks and ensures electrical systems operate safely for domestic and commercial clients.
Emergency Repairs
Our team provides rapid response for critical electrical faults outside standard hours. We address immediate safety concerns like power failures, faulty wiring, or appliance malfunctions. With 24/7 availability, we prioritise swift resolution while maintaining compliance and long-term reliability.
