New circuits, extra sockets, outside power and lighting all fall under electrical installation. We start by checking the existing wiring and consumer unit can take the extra load, then plan cable routes that keep damage to walls and floors low. See how a typical installation runs from start to finish.
More about electrical installationA cracked socket, a switch that sparks or feels warm, or an outlet that has stopped working should be looked at rather than ignored. We find out whether the fault is in the accessory or the circuit behind it, then repair or replace it safely. Read about common socket and switch faults.
More about electrical socket and switch repairIf you rely on a generator during power cuts, it needs to be connected so it can never feed power back into the network. We fit a proper changeover switch, so the building runs from either the mains or the generator, never both at once. Find out how generator wiring works.
More about generator wiringAn electric shower needs its own circuit with a cable sized for the load, which is often why an old shower can't simply be swapped for a more powerful one. We check your supply and consumer unit first, then fit and test the new circuit in Irvine homes. See what's involved.
More about electric shower installationA kitchen refit is the best time to rethink sockets, under-cabinet lighting and the circuits for your cooker, hob and appliances. We plan the layout with you or alongside your kitchen fitter, so everything is in the right place before the walls are finished. Read how we approach kitchen electrics.
More about kitchen electrical installationAn extension needs new circuits for sockets, lighting and often heating, all connected safely to your existing installation. We wire it in stages, first fix before plastering and second fix once the walls are done, and certify everything at the end. Find out how extension wiring fits around your build.
More about extension electrical workGarden rooms, home offices, workshops and sheds need power that is safe to run outside. That usually means an armoured cable buried at the right depth or clipped along a wall, with its own protection at both ends. We install outbuilding electrics across Irvine. See how the supply is run.
More about garden room & outbuilding electricsMost electric cookers and induction hobs need a dedicated circuit and a cooker switch, and many newer hobs draw more power than older wiring was designed for. We check the circuit can handle your new appliance before connecting it. Read what to look out for before you buy.
More about cooker & hob installationA good installation is planned before any cable goes in. Look for an electrician who checks your existing wiring and consumer unit first, explains where everything will go, and gives you an installation certificate once the work is tested.

It depends on the size of the job. Adding a socket or connecting a cooker usually takes a few hours, while wiring a kitchen, extension or garden room is spread over separate visits before and after plastering. We'll give you a realistic timescale along with your free quote.
Not usually. For most installations it helps to clear space along the walls where sockets or switches are going and move anything fragile. For bigger jobs such as a kitchen or extension, we'll tell you in advance which areas need to be clear and when.
Often, yes. Depending on the walls and where the power is coming from, cables can sometimes run under floors or through ceiling voids, which keeps chasing to a minimum. Where walls do need cutting, the damage is kept as small as possible and left ready for filling.
Yes. Many installations happen alongside other trades, so we're happy to fit around your builder, joiner or kitchen fitter. We agree when the first fix needs to happen before walls are closed up, then come back for the second fix once everything else is in place.
