Services
Electrical Installation Testing
We conduct comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to assess the safety and compliance of domestic and commercial electrical systems. Our testing identifies potential hazards, wear and tear, and necessary upgrades, ensuring installations meet current British Standards. This service is essential for landlords, businesses, and homeowners seeking to maintain safe, code-compliant electrical systems.
EV Charging Points
We install and maintain electric vehicle charging points compliant with OZEV regulations. Our solutions include smart chargers, load management systems, and integration with renewable energy sources. Designed for residential driveways and commercial car parks, these installations ensure safe, efficient charging while future-proofing properties for evolving energy demands.
Emergency Lighting
We supply, install, and service emergency lighting systems for commercial and industrial premises. Our solutions include self-contained and central battery systems, designed to maintain illumination during power failures. Regular testing and maintenance ensure compliance with safety regulations and uninterrupted operation during critical situations.
Consumer Unit Repairs
We repair and upgrade consumer units to enhance electrical safety and capacity. Services include replacing outdated fuse boards, adding circuit protection, and integrating smart monitoring systems. Modern consumer units reduce nuisance tripping, improve circuit management, and ensure compliance with current wiring regulations.

We install Type 1, 2, and 3 surge protection devices (SPDs) to safeguard electrical systems from voltage spikes.

Report
OUTSTANDING COMPANY I hired Goldfinch just before Christmas 21, knowing how busy everyone is and how hard it can be to source anything needed at present i had no expectations of the job being done anytime in the next two weeks. However the job was done finished all my questions answered promptly. They fitted three storgae heaters into a 1757 built cottage. Invoices very clear and organised. Not to mention how tidy they were working and clearing up they did a fabulous job. Would definitely recommend this company. Lovely firm well established.
