We specialise in complete and partial rewiring projects for properties over 25 years old. Our certified electricians conduct thorough safety inspections, identify system deficiencies, and implement modern compliant solutions. This includes replacing outdated fuse boards, installing earthing systems, and upgrading cabling to meet current standards. All work comes with a Certificate of Electrical Compliance for complete assurance.
Lighting Design
Our lighting services cover design, installation, and upgrades for residential and commercial properties. We implement energy-efficient LED systems, install security lighting, and create custom solutions for listed buildings. Our team ensures optimal light distribution while maintaining aesthetic integrity, particularly in heritage properties where discreet installation is crucial.
