Domestic Electrical Questions Answered
Do I need to be home during the electrical work?
For initial assessment and final walkthrough, yes. During installation, it depends on the work. For simple jobs like adding sockets, you don't need to be present if you're comfortable giving access. For major work like rewiring, we'll need occasional access. We'll discuss access arrangements during your quote.
Will you make good after electrical work?
We can arrange for plastering and decorating, or you can use your own contractors. For minor work (single sockets, lights), we'll make good around the installation. For major work like rewiring, we ensure cables are protected and ready for plastering, then return for "second fix" after decorating.
How long does rewiring take?
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 5-7 days for rewiring. Larger properties take longer. We can work room-by-room in occupied homes to minimize disruption. Exact timescales are provided with your quote based on your property size and requirements.
Do I need to move out during rewiring?
Not necessarily. We can work room-by-room so you can remain in the property. Some customers prefer to stay with family during "first fix" (the messy stage), but many stay throughout. We'll discuss options to suit your situation.
How much does it cost to rewire a house?
Costs vary by property size and complexity. Typical ranges: 2-bed house £3,000-£4,500, 3-bed house £4,000-£6,000, 4-bed house £5,500-£8,000. We provide detailed quotes after a free survey of your property.
When do I need an EICR electrical inspection?
Landlords need EICR every 5 years (legal requirement). Homeowners should have one every 10 years, or when buying/selling property. Also recommended if you have concerns about your electrical system or it's over 25 years old.
Can you help with home insurance claims?
Yes, we can assess electrical damage, provide reports, and carry out repairs. We'll document everything properly for your insurance company and work with loss adjusters if needed.
Do you offer emergency electrical repairs?
Yes, 24/7 emergency callout across Hampshire. Call 07897 011811 for urgent electrical issues like power outages, exposed wires, burning smells, or safety concerns.
Will I get certificates for the electrical work?
Absolutely. We provide proper electrical certificates for all work including Electrical Installation Certificates (EIC) for new installations, Minor Works Certificates for additions, and EICR certificates for testing. These are important for property records and insurance.
Can you add more sockets to my home?
Yes, we can add sockets in any room. We'll assess your current circuits to ensure they can handle additional sockets or install new circuits if needed. Typical cost: £80-£150 per socket depending on location and circuit availability.
Do you clean up after electrical work?
Yes, absolutely. We use dust sheets, clean as we go, and thoroughly clean up after completing work. All waste and packaging is removed from your property. We leave your home clean and tidy.
What's the difference between a fuse box and consumer unit?
They're essentially the same thing. "Fuse box" usually refers to old-style units with rewirable fuses, while "consumer unit" is the modern equivalent with automatic circuit breakers and RCD protection. Modern consumer units are much safer and required by current regulations.
