From our initial meeting and throughout his attendance Andy presented an utterly friendly and engaging manner. Equally, his professionalism shone through his steadfast approach to the work in hand concerning the re-wiring of my home. Communication was consistently clear and helpful eg keeping me informed of developments and ongoing progress, very re-assuring indeed.
Special thanks, also, to Steve's earnest contribution: not only for his positive and courteous attitude but also the due diligence and care consistently applied in terms of cleaning up after each stage in the whole process. Much admired and greatly appreciated.
Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience and, as such, would happily recommend TM Hughes and Son to others.

Andy made re wiring our entire home easy and completed it within a quick timeframe. After a free quote, we worked out the plan for the wiring. Where some things were less possible, Andy called me and discussed. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, this is your guy 👌. Cheers again.

Welcome to TM Hughes & Son. All our Electrical work in Braintree includes Earthing & Bonding.

Safely at home or work in Braintree starts with a secure electrical system. Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading your kitchen’s wiring or a business owner adding new lighting, it’s essential to understand how Earthing & Bonding safeguard lives and property.

What Is Earthing & Bonding?

Earthing and Bonding are two essential processes that protect you from the dangers of electricity.

Earthing involves connecting the exposed metal parts of your electrical installation—like switch plates and appliance cases—to the ground. This ensures that any stray electrical current is directed safely into the Earth, reducing the risk of electric shocks.

Bonding ensures that different metal components within your home or business premises—such as water pipes, gas pipes, and structural metalwork—are connected. Connection prevents dangerous voltage differences between these metal parts.

Why It Matters

An unprotected or poorly earthed system can turn a simple electrical fault into a serious hazard. Imagine touching a metal tap and getting shocked because it isn’t bonded properly. Correct Earthing & Bonding eliminates these risks.

How Our Electricians Check Earthing & Bonding

Our team carefully inspects and tests the Earthing & Bonding systems with every new electrical installation or repair we undertake in Braintree.

We measure the resistance levels to ensure a clear path for fault currents to travel safely to Earth. Our Electricians also verify that all metal components, like pipework, are correctly bonded together.

We can confirm that your installation is safe and meets regulatory standards using specialised tools such as earth loop impedance and continuity testers.

The Importance of a Periodic EICR

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the best way to keep your property’s electrical system safe and in good working order. During an EICR, a qualified Electrician will thoroughly examine your electrical system, including the Earthing & Bonding arrangements. If an issue is found—perhaps an outdated bonding method or a loose earth connection—it’s noted so it can be corrected.

When to Call Us

If you suspect your Earthing & Bonding may be outdated, or if you’re noticing experiencing mild shocks or flickering lights, it’s time to call us.

Our Electricians can inspect, test, and update your electrical system to ensure it meets safety standards and that the Earthing and Bonding are in order.
