In detailDomestic electrical work we cover in detail
Domestic electrical is one of the widest trades on the market, genuinely competent electricians should be able to cover the full spectrum inside a home. Below is what we handle day-in, day-out for households across Leicestershire.
Full & partial house rewires
Complete rewires for older housing stock still on rubber, lead or original PVC cabling, plus partial rewires focused on kitchens, bathrooms, first-floor circuits or specific problem areas. New copper, correctly sized, cleanly clipped and chased.
Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades
18th Edition metal-cased consumer units with individual RCBOs, each circuit independently protected, so one fault doesn't knock the whole house out. See our dedicated consumer unit page.
Sockets, spurs & USB outlets
Additional sockets, moved sockets, dedicated appliance spurs, outdoor IP-rated sockets, USB-A/USB-C outlets, floor sockets, and pop-up sockets for kitchen islands.
Lighting design & installation
Downlight layouts, pendant circuits, two-way and intermediate switching, dimmers, feature lighting, wardrobe lighting, garden and driveway lighting, with sensible LED specification throughout.
Bathroom & kitchen electrics
IP-rated zone-compliant bathroom lighting and extraction, shaver sockets, electric showers up to 10.5 kW, cooker circuits, oven-hob split circuits, extractor hoods and appliance isolators.

Outdoor & garden electrics
IP-rated garden sockets, hot-tub supplies, garden-office feeds, workshop supplies, outdoor lighting circuits and armoured cable runs.
Fault finding & testing
Systematic fault diagnosis using proper test equipment, insulation resistance, continuity, earth-loop impedance, RCD ramp/time tests, not guesswork.
EICRs for homeowners & landlords

Residential
Domestic work sits under Building Regulations Part P, notifiable jobs (new circuits, consumer units, work in special locations) must be registered by a competent scheme member. Cable ratings, RCD requirements and zone rules are stricter in kitchens and bathrooms than most homeowners realise.
Commercial
Commercial installations sit under BS 7671 with additional obligations around RAMS, permits to work, isolation procedures and coordinated shutdowns. If your project is a commercial premises or a mixed-use building, see our commercial contracting page instead.
