Electrical services for Oxfordshire homes

A rewire replaces the old cabling and accessories throughout your home. You might need one if your wiring is over 30 years old, if you have round pin sockets, or if you're getting flickering lights, warm sockets or tripping circuits. A partial rewire targets just the circuits that need it, which costs less and causes less disruption. You receive an electrical installation certificate and test results for the work carried out.

The consumer unit, sometimes still called the fuse board, is the box that holds your trip switches. Old fuse boards don't cut the power safely when something goes wrong. We replace them with modern units that include RCD protection, which switches off in a fraction of a second if there's a fault, protecting you from electric shock and fire. You receive an electrical installation certificate for the new consumer unit.

Adding extra sockets, new lighting circuits, dimmer switches, USB points or outdoor power. Useful when you're forever using extension leads, you're renovating a room, or you want new downlights or garden lighting put in properly rather than bodged onto an existing circuit. You receive a minor works certificate or installation certificate, depending on the work.

Kitchens and bathrooms need specialist wiring because of water and steam. We fit cooker points, extractor fans, complete with ventilation through to outside, downlights, shaver points and under-cabinet lighting, all to the Part P standard required in these rooms. When you're fitting a new kitchen or bathroom, it's a good time to tackle the electrics. As notifiable work, you receive an electrical installation certificate.

Power and lighting for sheds, garages, gardens and outbuildings, including weatherproof sockets, security lights and pond or water feature supplies. Outdoor wiring has to be rated for damp and physical damage, so it's worth having it done right rather than trailing cables through a window. You receive an installation certificate for the new outdoor circuits.

Installation of home electric vehicle charge points, so you can charge your car from your own driveway or garage. We fit a dedicated charging circuit rated for continuous high current, which a standard socket isn't built for, and mount the charger where it suits your parking. You receive an electrical installation certificate for the charge point circuit.

No job is too small. If it needs putting right, give us a ring. For nuisance faults like a circuit that keeps tripping, sockets that have stopped working, or a light that flickers for no obvious reason, we trace the cause, explain what's wrong in plain English, and put it right. Most faults are found and fixed in a single visit.

Portable appliance testing checks that electrical appliances are safe to use, by inspecting the plug, cable and casing and testing the earth continuity and insulation. Useful for landlords handing over a furnished property, homeowners wanting older appliances checked, and small businesses that need to show their equipment is safe. You receive a PA Testing report listing each appliance and its pass or fail result.
