Electrical Solutions for Your Home
From rewires and consumer unit upgrades to EICRs and outdoor lighting - here's everything we can help you with across Cumbria.
Rewires (Full & Partial)
Whether your property needs a complete house rewire or you are modernising part of the installation, we carry out all rewiring work safely, neatly, and in line with current BS 7671 wiring regulations.
Full rewires are essential in older properties where cabling has degraded or fails modern safety standards. Partial rewires are ideal if specific circuits require upgrading. You'll receive full certification upon completion.

Consumer Unit Upgrades
An outdated fuse box is a serious fire hazard. We replace old rewireable fuse boards with modern consumer units fitted with dual RCDs and RCBO breakers to give your property proper fault protection.
Consumer unit upgrades are essential when selling a home, installing EV chargers, or adding new circuits. All work is notified to local Building Control with certification issued.

EICR Safety Checks
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) thoroughly assesses the condition of your property's electrical system and identifies hidden safety defects or hazards.
EICRs are a mandatory legal requirement for all privately rented properties in England, and recommended every 10 years for homeowners. We carry out thorough, clearly documented reports and complete any required remedial work.

Fault Finding & Repairs
Tripping circuits, dead sockets, flickering lights, or power loss - electrical faults can be frustrating and hazardous. We use a methodical diagnostic approach to trace and resolve the root cause quickly.
Rather than quick temporary fixes, we identify the underlying fault and carry out lasting repairs. From failed RCD breakers to damaged cables, we get your power running safely.

Whether you want LED spotlights in your kitchen, security floodlights, or power run to a garden office, we plan and carry out the work cleanly and efficiently.
