We Understand Our Customers' Needs We understand that no two customers’ electrical needs are the same and that when it comes to making important decisions on upgrades, emergency repairs, or installations, the more information you have the better. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of solutions, as well as the knowledge to help customers make the right decisions. Our electricians are highly trained in all aspects of electrical repair and installation, enabling them to identify and address the unique requirements of every customer.
The best way to know whether your electrics are safe is to get a qualified electrician to carry out a test and inspection report (electrical installation condition report).
In the UK this should be done every 10 years for a domestic property, 5 Years on a rented property or on change of occupancy, and more often for business premises.
If you havent had it done lately its really worth getting a quote. For the small cost you lay out the peace of mind is priceless!
Some people may want to undertake a full rewire or upgrade the current system – particularly those moving into a new property which might be 25 years or older.
Undertaking a full or partial rewire in a property is a big job and one that should only be carried out by a registered electrician.
All electrical installations, over time, will deteriorate naturally as they are a working mechanism made up of various components and working systems.
For wiring systems more than 25 years old we would always recommend having the electrical system checked out at regular intervals.
This will help identify any faults or defects which could require improvement. It will also give you an idea of any work that might be required and potential cost if you are considering upgrading the electrical installation or remodelling it to include additional circuits.
As we all make more effort to be environmentally friendly, electrical vehicles really are the future.

Full electric and plug-in hybrid cars are growing in popularity and now come in all shapes and sizes, from two-seater city cars to 4×4 off-roaders. Electric vehicle (EV) technology has developed greatly since the milk float, and as performance and range increases, purchasing an electric vehicle is becoming a very real option for many people.
One of the main benefits of electric vehicles is their environmental credentials. Unlike petrol or diesel cars, electric cars don’t emit any of the gases that contribute to global warming, making them a great choice for anyone who cares about their carbon footprint. As one of 13 members of the Zero Emission Vehicle Alliance, the UK has pledged to make all passenger vehicles sold “zero-emissions” by 2030.
While electric cars are currently more expensive than traditional vehicles, the cost of running them is considerably lower. Depending on tariff, you could pay as little as 96p to fully charge a pure electric car for a 100-mile range. Electric cars are also exempt from road tax and the London Congestion Charge, and are entitled to free parking in numerous Pay & Display areas.
