What electricians can help with
Electricians handle a broad range of household electrical tasks. This includes fault finding and repairs, adding or moving sockets, lighting changes indoors and out, replacing a consumer unit, and upgrading circuits to support new appliances. They can also carry out electrical safety checks and issue the right documentation for compliant work. For larger projects, an electrician can plan partial or full rewires, install new circuits for extensions, and work with other trades to keep a project on track. If you are planning improvements, you can ask about energy efficient lighting, extractor fans or outdoor power. To get accurate quotes, describe the job clearly, list any access limits, and confirm whether materials are supplied by you or the Electrician.

FAQs
What is involved in a consumer unit replacement for a bigger project?
Replacing a consumer unit includes isolating power, fitting the new unit, connecting circuits and testing. Your Electrician should explain what protection devices are included and provide certification where required. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Is a safety check the same as an EICR?
An EICR is a formal safety inspection of fixed wiring and circuits. It checks for defects and compliance issues. A general safety check may be less detailed, so ask which report you will receive. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Will the work be disruptive?
Some jobs are quick, while others involve access to walls or floors. an electrician can explain the expected disruption and whether any making good will be needed after cables are run. Photos and measurements can help the Electrician give clearer guidance.
Do you need to see the property before quoting?
For simple jobs, a clear description and photos may be enough. For larger work such as rewires or new circuits, a site visit helps the Electrician provide an accurate scope and timeline. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Can you fit extractor fans or bathroom electrics for a bigger project?
Yes, many electricians install extractor fans and bathroom fittings. Electrical work in bathrooms needs careful planning and suitable protection, so ask how the installation will be designed. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Electrician can plan the right approach.
Is it possible to add outdoor sockets?
Outdoor sockets are possible, but they need weatherproof fittings and safe cable routes. The Electrician will advise on placement and protection based on how the area is used. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
