Appliance Installation
When it comes to appliance installation, safety should be your top priority.
We at TM Hughes offer affordable appliance installation services for fitting new ovens, extractor fans and other hard-wired appliances.
Our team has years of experience in this field, having fitted many appliances in Leigh On Sea over the years. So you can be sure your new appliance will be connected correctly, tested and safely used.
Consumer Units
Consumer Units are an important part of any electrical system. They ensure safety, protecting users from shocks, preventing electrical fires, and protecting appliances from overloading.
Old fuse boxes, commonly found in older homes around Leigh On Sea, provide lower safety than the latest consumer units.
Modern consumer units contain Residual Current Devices (RCD fuses) and Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), making the electrical system extremely safe. And up to the latest wiring regulations and safety standards.
RCDs protect against electrocution if someone accidentally touches a live wire, while MCBs prevent electrical fires, 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, combining the functions of both RCDs and MCBs.
In the event of an electrical fault, these devices will trip instantly to cut power.
At TM Hughes Electrical Services, we offer free, no-obligation quotes to upgrade old fuse boxes and consumer units with a new installation.
Earthing & Bonding
Earthing and Bonding are an integral part of any electrical work conducted in residential homes, mandated by the BS7671 legal standard. It protects against electrocution and safely carries an electric current to the earth.
To comply with these standards and ensure your electrical system is safe, the Earthing and Bonding are checked after every electrical installation, upgrade or repair.
By ensuring that electrical installations are properly earthed and bonded, homeowners have peace of mind in knowing that their home is electrically safe.
EICR Landlords Certificates
EICR Landlords Certificates are essential to ensuring that rental properties remain safe and compliant with legal standards.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) and PAT testing are two key processes that a professional electrician must carry out to provide a valid certificate.
An EICR involves checking all parts of the electrical system connected to the electric meter, while 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 on completion.

Examples Of Electrical Emergencies
Here are some examples of Electrical emergencies
Power Cuts
Power cuts can occur due to various reasons, such as grid failure, damage to the electrical system, or a fault within the electrical system.
Power cuts are always inconvenient. In most cases, it’s down to a grid failure. Before calling us, check with your electricity provider, who’ll confirm if the power cut’s down to them and provide an estimated time for the power to come back on.
If the power outage isn’t down to grid failure and to another issue, such as damage or flooding to your electrical system, one of our electricians will assess the cause of the outage, restore power safely, and prevent future occurrences by making the necessary alterations and repairs.
Overloaded Circuits
Overloaded circuits are a common electrical fault resulting from excessive power consumption or inadequate wiring. When multiple high-energy-consuming devices operate simultaneously, the electrical system can become overloaded, causing 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 it’s not a particular appliance causing the overload.
If fuses still trip, an electrician will identify the source of the overload and, if necessary, upgrade fuses, other electrical components or wiring to prevent future 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.
Signs of faulty wiring include tripping fuses, flickering lights, sparking, burning signs/smells and buzzing sounds.
Getting an electrician to inspect and diagnose any wiring issues, repair or replace damaged wiring, and ensure your electrical system complies with safety standards.
Tripped Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers in the Consumer Unit trip for various reasons, including overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults. If you have a fuse that 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, buzzing consumer units, tripping fuses and arcing (crackling sounds).
It is important to take care of any electrical faults, even those that seem minor, 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 are a crucial component of any home, supplying power to the various appliances and lighting fixtures we use daily.
On average, these cables last for up to 30 years. So if your property has not been rewired in over three decades, it could require a rewire.
To ensure your home’s and its occupants’ safety, we highly recommend a complete survey every ten years to check for any signs of wear and tear on your wiring.
Our company specialises in rewiring homes, new builds and extensions.
All wiring is installed according to current regulations, with modern twin and earth cables that can meet the electrical demands of any home.
We’ll also ensure your consumer unit is safe and up-to-date.
With our specialised rewiring services, you can rest assured that your home electrical system is safe and its occupants are fully protected.
Lighting
Lighting is essential for both day-to-day living and aesthetic purposes.
We offer a comprehensive lighting design and installation service. Our electricians can upgrade your existing lighting fixtures or install a new lighting system with new wiring for your lights and switches.
When designing Lighting in any space, several factors must be considered. These include the size and shape of the room, the amount of natural light that enters the area, and what purpose it serves.
For this reason, our experienced electricians will come out for a free, no-obligation survey to determine the best lighting system for your home’s space.
Energy-saving LED bulbs are included with each new lighting installation as standard and will save you money on electricity bills in the long run.
Additionally, suppose you’re looking to take control up a notch. In that case, we provide smart lighting solutions which enable you to control your lights via any device from anywhere in your home and even when you’re away from home.
No matter what lighting setup you need, from accenting your living room or dining area to illuminating pathways or highlighting certain features like art pieces, our Electricians are here to provide the ideal Lighting for you.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor Lighting has become increasingly popular as an effective way of transforming garden and outdoor living spaces into cosy havens for relaxing and entertaining.
With the advent of modern LED lights, which are much cheaper to buy and run than their halogen predecessors, more options have never been available for creating a beautiful atmosphere outdoors.
Outdoor Lighting adds a sense of safety, and security lighting ensures that no one trips up on any unexpected obstacles in the dark. It also acts as a deterrent against any would-be burglars.
The most exciting reason for installing outdoor Lighting is to create an inviting environment for socialising with friends and family in the evening.
There’s nothing quite like gathering outside on a warm summer night surrounded by soft sparkling light while enjoying each other’s company.
TM Hughes & Son specialises in designing and installing garden/landscape lighting systems that bring out the beauty of your outdoor space and offer security.
We’ll work with you to develop custom Outdoor Lighting installations tailored to your specific needs.
Outdoor Power
Do you need to make outdoor tasks easier and safer by using outdoor power tools such as electric lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other gardening tools?
If yes, consider installing an outdoor power socket at your home by our professional electricians.
These sockets are constructed from high-quality waterproof materials and also feature RCD fuses for added safety.
If the power cable gets cut or damaged, the fuse will automatically cut off the power supply and prevent an electrical accident.
Installing an outdoor power socket at your home is a great way to make gardening, lawn care, and other outdoor tasks much easier and safer.
Security Lighting
Security lighting is essential to protect your home or business from unwanted intruders.
It has been proven that burglars and vandals are less likely to target a property if it is well-lit.
By installing security lighting, you can deter criminals and provide a better sense of safety for yourself, your family, and your employees if you run a business.
At our company, we offer a security lighting design and installation service.
Our qualified electricians will assess the vulnerable areas of your home or business and install motion sensor lights or other types of lighting systems to ensure maximum coverage.
We provide only the highest quality weatherproof fixtures designed to last for many years and fitted with energy-efficient LED bulbs so you will save money on your energy bills.
Sockets & Switches
Our Electricians provide the installation of new sockets and the upgrading of existing ones.
We understand that when local homeowners carry out refurbishment projects, they often require new socket points or face plates to match the new decor.
Our team is highly experienced in replacing the faceplates of sockets so that you can match them with any décor in the room.
We offer a range of socket types, including single and double with on/off switches and those with built-in RCDs and USB ports for convenient phone charging.
In addition, we also fit fused connection units, appliance switches and cooker switches so you can connect and run any appliance.
If necessary, our Electricians can safely disconnect any old electrical appliances wired into your system, such as cookers.
Other socket types available include shaver sockets and multimedia switches.
Smoke & Heat Alarms
Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are essential for detecting dangers and alerting everyone in the home.
These alarms provide an early warning system so people can evacuate or take action quickly to prevent a fire, CO poisoning or any other hazardous situation.
Installing hard-wired alarms connected directly to the mains power supply can be more reliable than battery-operated alarms, as they are constantly powered and include backup batteries in case of a power cut.
Additionally, the interconnected alarms are set up so that when one alarm goes off, all connected alarms will sound, alerting everyone on every floor.
With early detection and warning systems like smoke, heat and CO alarms installed in your home, you can rest assured knowing that you and your family are well-protected.
