If it’s domestic and it’s electrical, we’ve done it. Not sure whether a job needs a sparky or just a competent DIY-er? Send a photo and we’ll tell you straight.
how we test
Tested as we go, not just at the end.
Every job is tested during the work, not just at sign-off. That means real readings on the certificate — what was actually measured at your address, not a box-ticked default. The same approach whether it’s a single new circuit or a full rewire.
- Megger MFT & Fluke 1664 calibrated annually
- Earth fault loop impedance recorded per circuit
- RCD trip times verified before sign-off
- Insulation resistance documented
- Continuity of protective conductors checked
- Polarity and PSCC measured live

02 / 04
BS 7671:2018+A2:2022
Not a tagline — the wiring regulations standard. We test before, during and after, and certs reflect the real readings, not box-ticked defaults.

One electrician, start to finish
You won’t get a quote from one person, a different fitter on day one, and a third face turning up to test. That matters when you’re letting someone into your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our most asked questions by homeowners.
How much does a domestic electrician charge in Surrey?
Hourly rates locally sit between £55 and £75 for a qualified electrician, with most small jobs priced as a fixed half-day or full-day. A consumer unit replacement on a typical three-bedroom home is usually in the £650–£950 range depending on the board and the existing wiring. We’ll always price the job, not the hour, where we can.
Are you registered and insured?
Yes — NAPIT registered (a government-approved Part P scheme) and covered by £5m public liability insurance. We can send proof of both before any work starts.
Do I need to notify Building Control for electrical work?
For ‘notifiable’ work — a new circuit, a consumer unit change, anything in a bathroom or outdoors — yes. Because we’re NAPIT registered, we notify on your behalf and you receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate by post.
Can I legally rewire my own house?
A typical three-bedroom Surrey property is usually 5–8 working days for a full rewire, plus a day for plastering touch-ups. Larger properties or period homes with lath-and-plaster walls take longer.
Do you do emergency call-outs?
Yes — for total loss of power, burning smells, exposed live conductors or anything water-related. Call rather than message for anything urgent.
Areas we cover.
Our base is in the south of the county, so we know the building stock — the 1930s semis around Woking and Epsom, the cottages around Cranleigh and Chiddingfold, the newer estates in Reigate and Redhill, and the listed properties tucked away in the villages around Haslemere and Dorking.
