Our team has years of experience in this field, having fitted many appliances in Leigh On Sea. We ensure your new appliance is connected correctly, tested, and safely used.
Consumer Units
Consumer Units are an important part of any electrical system. They ensure safety, protect users from shocks, prevent electrical fires, and prevent appliances from overloading.
Old fuse boxes are common in older homes around Leigh On Sea. They are less safe than the latest consumer units.
Modern consumer units contain Residual Current Devices (RCD fuses). They also have Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs). This setup makes the electrical system very safe. And up to the latest wiring regulations and safety standards.
RCDs protect against electrocution if someone accidentally touches a live wire. MCBs prevent electrical fires. They also prevent overloaded circuits and appliances from being damaged by too much current.
For even more protection, Residual Current-Operated Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent Protection (RCBOs) can be fitted. They combine the functions of RCDs and MCBs.
In an electrical fault, these devices will trip instantly to cut power.
We offer free, no-obligation quotes to upgrade old fuse boxes and consumer units with a new installation.
Earthing & Bonding
Earthing and bonding are vital. They are part of all electrical work in homes and are mandated by the BS7671 legal standard. They protect against electrocution and carry an electric current to the earth.
To meet these standards and keep your electrical system safe, we check the Earthing and Bonding after every electrical installation, upgrade, or repair.
Properly earthing and bonding electrical installations gives homeowners peace of mind, as they know their homes are electrically safe.
EICR Landlords Certificates
EICR Landlord Certificates are essential for rented property. EICRs ensure that rental properties remain safe and compliant with legal standards.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) and PAT testing are key processes a professional electrician must carry out to provide a valid certificate.
An EICR involves checking all parts of the electrical system connected to the meter. PAT testing covers all plug-in appliances.
These tests must be carried out regularly to ensure tenants’ safety and property compliance.
We undertake electrical inspections and PAT testing and issue certificates upon completion.

Examples Of Electrical Emergencies
Here are some examples of Electrical emergencies
Power Cuts
Power cuts can happen for many reasons. These include grid failure, damage, or a fault.
Power cuts are always inconvenient. In most cases, it’s down to a grid failure. Before calling us, check with your electricity provider. They’ll confirm if the power cut is due to them and estimate when the power will return.
If the outage isn’t due to grid failure but to another issue, like damage or flooding to your electrical system, one of our electricians will assess the cause. They will restore power safely. They will also prevent future outages by making needed changes and repairs.
Overloaded Circuits
Overloaded circuits are a common electrical fault. They result from using too much power or from bad wiring. When many power-hungry devices run simultaneously, the electrical system can become overloaded. This overload causes circuit breakers to trip.
Overloaded circuits can damage appliances and, in some cases, lead to electrical fires. The first step is to ensure you have a few appliances running off a single socket and check that no particular appliance is causing the overload.
If fuses still trip, an electrician will find the source of the overload. They will then upgrade fuses, other electrical parts, or wiring to prevent overloading.
Faulty Wiring
Faulty wiring can occur due to poor installation or deterioration over time. Damaged or improperly installed wiring can lead to electrical hazards such as electrocution or fires.
Tripping fuses, flickering lights, sparking, burning smells, and buzzing sounds are signs of faulty wiring.
Get an electrician to inspect and diagnose any wiring issues. They will repair or replace damaged wiring and ensure your system meets safety standards.
Tripped Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers in the Consumer Unit trip for many reasons, including overloads, shorts, or ground faults. If a fuse keeps tripping, there’s likely an issue with the electrical system or the fuse is faulty and needs replacing.
One of our electricians will test and check your consumer unit and fuses to establish and rectify the issue.
Electrical Shocks
Electrical shocks result from faulty appliances, damaged wiring, or improper grounding. Your electrical system shouldn’t shock you. But, if it does, it’s imperative to have it inspected and tested by an electrician to identify the source of the issue and make the necessary repairs.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Electrical systems are often reliable for long periods. However, faults can occur in older systems or those installed incorrectly.
Common problems include burning smells, burnt sockets, and switches. Also, buzzing consumer units, tripping fuses, and arcing (crackling sounds).
It is important to take care of any electrical faults, even minor ones, as they can be dangerous.
We offer a fast and cost-effective service to locate and rectify electrical faults.
Our electricians will run tests to identify the cause of the fault and carry out repairs to remedy the problem.
Rewiring
Electrical wires supply power to the appliances and lights we use daily.
On average, these cables last for up to 30 years. It may need a rewire if you have not rewired your property in over three decades.
We recommend a survey every ten years to keep your home and its occupants safe. This checks for wear and tear on your wiring.
