FAQ

A qualified electrician can carry out a wide range of installations for both homes and businesses. This includes new lighting systems, socket outlets, consumer units (fuse boards), electric vehicle charging points, outdoor power supplies, security lighting, and complete or partial rewires. All work should comply with the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and, where required, be certified under Part P of the Building Regulations to ensure safety and legal compliance.

For domestic properties, it’s recommended to have a full electrical inspection — known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — at least every 10 years, or every 5 years for rental properties. Commercial premises may require more frequent inspections depending on their usage and industry regulations. Regular safety checks help identify wear, damage, or potential hazards before they become dangerous.

Yes — electricians can suggest and install a variety of energy-efficient solutions, such as LED lighting upgrades, modern heating controls, motion sensor lighting, and more efficient appliances. They can also assess your current electrical system to ensure it’s not wasting power through outdated components or poor wiring practices. Improving energy efficiency not only lowers your bills but can also extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Any unusual electrical symptoms should be taken seriously, even if they seem minor. Flickering lights, buzzing noises from sockets, or burning smells from outlets can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or faulty wiring. These issues can be dangerous and should be inspected by a qualified electrician as soon as possible to prevent further damage or potential fire risks.

Yes — many electricians are experienced in installing and repairing outdoor electrical systems. This includes garden lighting, pond pumps, power supplies for sheds and garages, outdoor sockets, security lighting, and electric gates. All outdoor work requires proper weatherproofing and compliance with safety standards to protect against moisture and environmental wear.

Absolutely. Many older homes have electrical systems that were not designed for the power demands of modern life. An electrician can upgrade your consumer unit, add more circuits or sockets, and rewire sections of your home to handle appliances, EV chargers, and smart home systems. This improves safety, prevents nuisance tripping, and ensures you have enough capacity for future needs.

Electrical work can be dangerous and is subject to strict regulations in the UK. A qualified electrician ensures that installations and repairs are done safely, legally, and in compliance with building regulations. They also have the training and equipment to identify hidden problems that might be missed during DIY attempts, reducing the risk of injury, electrical fires, or costly mistakes.
