Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, this is a question asked all to commonly. It’s not possible for me to price a job without knowing more information and what materials will be needed.

Landlords require an Electrical Installation Condition Report, This is a new law and needs to be completed every, 5 Years or change of tenant. This ensures the install is up to standard.

Unfortunately the answer to this question will always be no, No Electrical contractor can sign off another Electricians work, or member of the public, this is law, if you wish to have an install signed off as it was not done by the previous electrician, you will need to contact building control.

This is a question asked of us all too often, many bathrooms are fitted with poorly working fans or no fan at all, we install fans we believe truly work and are sure you’ll be happy and notice the difference immediately. There are many options for you in terms of ducting the air out pf your bathroom and that’s something we can discuss while quoting

Theoretically yes, however what we often find when a client buy the materials is items are forgotten, not correct for the purpose or the most often is the quality is not good and we don’t like to install products which we believe don’t have a long lifespan, by doing that out quality of work is less and ultimately costs yourself more in the long run.

Depending on the job we are happy to travel as far as necessary, however if we believe that a more local trade may be able to do it in a more cost-effective way for you then we many suggest this.

Often one of the team will carry a small tub of filler on board, however we aren’t decorators and would not make good large amounts of damage. We believe you should be happy 100% with the works we carry out, and we wouldn’t leave our work without being 100% happy either, as we are not decorators, we would not be happy to do a average job which is why we don’t do it, and leave it to the professional’s

We would be more than happy to fit your new fitting for you, we will often ask you for a photo to be able to provide a quote, we pride ourselves on client satisfaction so will ensure your happy with the new fitting before we leave.

All of my installs are signed off with a minor works or installation certificate, and notifiable works will be notified to building control by myself. You will receive a PDF Certificate for this once payment has been made for the job.

We do offer a 24hr Call out, and will always have an engineer on hand to get you back up and running, as a general rule of thumb, we will do what we can over the phone to help you get some power back on until the morning, this helps to keep the cost down for you, rather than paying the out of hour call out fee.

You can call anytime of the day, if you are looking to have a quote for a job or need a emergency electrician, feel free to call the number displayed, if we don’t answer please leave a message and we will get back to you at our earliest convenience.

The best way to pay is via Bank transfer, this can be paid once work has been completed. We can also accept Cash, paypal, or card payments if we have the reader with us.
