Test all metal light fittings/switches for earth if required
Identify all switch positions
Check all fused spurs have correct fuses installed
Inspect visible wiring
IP rating of fittings in regard to external influences

Smoke Alarm Installations

The importance of a reliable smoke alarm cannot be stressed enough. We can provide a variety of smoke alarm solutions, including radio-link alarms, to suit all types of property.

Consumer Units

Since January 2016 all new consumer units must be fire rated (made out of non-combustable material).

All of your properties electrics are controlled and protected by your consumer unit. Often, consumer units of older styles will require upgrading in order to facilitate other electrical changes. Whilst older consumer units do protect wiring, a new consumer unit will provide additional fire and personal protection. As part of the consumer unit installation, a full schedule of tests will be performed on your properties wiring

General Changes

This could be anything from a new bank of sockets for a home office, data installations to a new light-fitting and brighten up a dark spot: no job is too small! All relevant certification is provided as part of the service.

Electric Cooker Installation/ Replacement

If suitable wiring exists for an electric cooker, this can be done very quickly and easily. If the wiring is not in place, we are able to undertake all the work required to get your new electric cooker up and running.

P.A.T. (Portable Appliance Testing)

Despite the name, the appliances requiring this type of testing aren’t always portable! Large appliances such as washing machines, storage heaters in public areas and refrigerators need to undergo this testing too, in order to prove that they are as safe as possible in your home.

Rewires

In some cases, a full or partial rewire of a property may be required. You may have also decided to undertake this as part of a renovation to make your property work for you. We are available to provide professional guidance on the best way forward for you.

Electric Heating Solutions

There are a variety of safe and effective electric heating products on the market to suit properties of all shapes and sizes, including storage heaters, panel heaters and down flow heaters. We are always more than happy to be consulted on which solution is best for you.

Positive input ventilation

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is air ventilation for properties that works by continuously drawing in fresh, filtered air from outside, and removing stagnant air and moisture. It is an increasingly popular method of keeping properties well ventilated and hygienic, controlling condensation and mould growth.
