Electrical Contractors Southend

Domestic Electrical Services Include

Appliance Fitting

Let us fit your non-plug-in electrical appliances such as cookers and extractor fans. We can hardwire all appliances to their own individual circuits. Once fitted we’ll test your appliance as per the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure it’s working properly.

Consumer Units

We can upgrade your old fusebox or plastic consumer unit to the latest BS EN 61439 standards. We also install additional consumer units for refurbishments and extensions. Correct fitting is essential as the consumer unit controls the electricity in your home and prevents accidents such as electrocution, electrical fires, and overloaded circuits/appliances.

Earthing & Bonding 

Earthing and bonding ensures current is taken to earth and electric shocks don’t occur if anyone accidentally touches a part of the live system. Earthing and Bonding are inspected and adjusted every time a new electrical installation’s undertaken. Our electrician will ensure it’s up to the require d BS7671 standard.

Electric Heating

Electric heating has become more efficient in recent years.  Various forms of Electric heating can be fitted as an alternative to gas-powered heating. Electric heating such as storage heaters, electric radiators and electric underfloor heating is cheaper and easier to install than their gas counterparts. You may already have a gas system that can be complemented by Electric upgrades such as electric towel rails and immersion heaters as a back-up in case your boiler ever fails.

Emergencies

Electricians are available within 2 hours for both domestic and commercial emergencies. Never attempt to diagnose or fix an electrical fault yourself, always use a qualified electrician who understands electricity and electrical systems. Our electrician will give you advice over the phone on how best to deal with the situation.

Our emergency call-out service includes no call out charges, and electricians usually detect and rectify faults swiftly. Faults such as no power, flooding of the electrical system, weird noises or humming from the consumer unit, burning smells, melting sockets, tripping fuses and flickering lights. 

Lighting

Lighting services include simple upgrades such as changing the light fittings to full lighting installation and design. For the home we can fit the latest ambient, decorative and task lighting fitted with the latest energy-saving LED bulbs. 

Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor Power 

Outdoor sockets enable the easy use of power tools and portable outdoor lights. Sockets can be fitted with built-in RCD’s that’ll cut out incase an electric cable is ever accidentally cut, they are also weatherproof.

PAT Testing 

Ensure your appliances are safe with PAT testing. Portable appliances are inspected and tested verifying they’re safe to use by your tenants (if you’re a landlord) and employees (if you run a business).

RCD Replacement

Modern RCD, MCB and RCBO fuses located in the consumer unit are incredibly safe and efficient. Occasionally a fuse in your consumer unit may need replacing (continuous tripping of a fuse could be a fault within the fuse itself). RCD replacement is a quick and simple process for our experienced electricians. If you have extra appliances or circuits added in your home, then you may require extra RCD fuses in your consumer unit.

Rewiring

Homes with older electrical systems may need rewiring. We undertake full and part rewiring which is carried out to the required 17th Edition BS7671 regulations. Our electricians can install new wiring for extensions, conversions and refurbishments. Wiring should be inspected once every 10 years to ensure it’s safe. An inspection will establish if your home needs a rewire.

Sockets 

Tired of the standard white plastic sockets? We can remove and upgrade them with a different colour or material to compliment your home, such as stainless steel. Present-day sockets can include USB ports so you can run appliances and charge your phone at the same time. For those who need power points, extra sockets can be added in locations of your choice.

Showers

Electric showers heat water instantly and are a favourite in bathrooms around Southend. We fit all types of electric shower and the corresponding circuits/switches.

Smoke Alarms

Wired is an essential safety feature in both rented and owned properties (in fact they are required by law if you’re a landlord or have an extension built). Wired smoke alarms are fitted on every floor and interconnected so if there’s a fire on one floor all alarms go off alerting everyone in the home. Alarms with built-in carbon monoxide detectors are available also.
