We specialise in complete electrical rewiring for existing properties, employing techniques that minimise disruption to occupied homes. Our methods include chasing walls for concealed cabling or surface trunking solutions, ensuring compliance with current safety standards while maintaining property aesthetics. With decades of experience, we handle complex projects from initial design to final certification.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
Modernise your electrical system with our consumer unit upgrade service, replacing outdated fuse boards with safer RCD/MCB protection. This enhances electrical safety by quickly isolating faults, reducing shock risks while maintaining operational continuity. We ensure full compliance with current regulations during all upgrades.
New Build Wiring
From small bungalows to large developments, we deliver complete electrical installations for new properties. Our process includes first fix cabling, second fix accessories, and final safety certification. We collaborate directly with developers and builders throughout the construction lifecycle from design to handover.
Solar PV Installation
We offer solar photovoltaic system installations to reduce energy costs and environmental impact. Our qualified team handles complete system design, installation, and integration with existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and regulatory compliance for residential and commercial properties.
