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.

FAQs

Do you install kitchen or extension wiring for your property?
Many electricians install new circuits for kitchens, extensions or outbuildings. This often includes planning cable routes, fitting protection devices and testing once the work is complete. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Is a rewire messy?
Rewiring can involve access to walls, floors and ceilings, so some disruption is normal. Ask the Electrician how they will minimise mess and whether making good is included. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Electrician can plan the right approach.
Can you add USB sockets or extra outlets?
Yes. USB sockets and additional outlets can be installed, subject to access and circuit capacity. Let the Electrician know the number and locations you need. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
What documentation should I keep?
Keep any certificates, test results or reports provided after the work. These documents can be useful for safety records, insurance queries or future property sales. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Does electrical work need to meet specific standards for your property?
Yes. Electrical work should meet current safety standards and be tested appropriately. Your Electrician can explain what standards apply to your job and what checks will be carried out. Photos and measurements can help the Electrician give clearer guidance.
Can you change a consumer unit without a rewire?
Often yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing wiring. an electrician will assess the system and explain whether any upgrades are required at the same time. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
