Services
Minor repairs
We handle small-scale electrical repairs including socket replacements, lighting installations, and fan changes. Our fully equipped vehicles enable immediate completion of common tasks without requiring return visits. We advise on suitable replacements for outdated components while maintaining competitive pricing for all repair services.
Fault finding
Our experienced electricians identify and resolve electrical faults efficiently, typically within one hour. We provide clear explanations of issues and cost-effective solutions while prioritising safety. Our diagnostic approach combines technical expertise with practical problem-solving to ensure lasting repairs for both domestic and commercial properties.
Electrical testing
We conduct comprehensive electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) to ensure safety compliance. Our testing identifies potential hazards in existing systems and verifies installations meet current standards. This service is particularly crucial for landlords needing to comply with updated rental property regulations while maintaining electrical safety.
PIV systems
We install Positive Input Ventilation systems to combat condensation and damp issues in residential and commercial properties. These systems improve indoor air quality by continuously introducing filtered fresh air. Our expertise includes assessing suitability and implementing effective ventilation solutions for both rented and owner-occupied properties.
Small renovations
We manage electrical aspects of home extensions, kitchen renovations, and partial rewires. Our approach focuses on meeting client requirements while ensuring compliance with safety standards. We work closely with property owners to design practical electrical solutions that align with their specific needs and budget constraints.

Report
I needed an electrical installation report and I was recommended to this company by my letting agent. Quick response, fair price and when the report highlighted work required, they did it quickly and tidied up when finished.
