It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you an honest idea when we reply, and say so plainly if we are busy.
On the job
Not always. We will agree access with you beforehand, and tell you if we need you there for any part of the work.
Floors and furniture are protected where the work calls for it, and the area is tidied at the end of each visit.
With electrical work, the job sometimes turns out different once we can see it properly. We stop, explain what we have found and agree the way forward with you before going on.

Electrical Testing & Inspection
It depends on the size of the property and how many circuits it has. We give an estimate once we know the details.
Parts of the installation are switched off in turn during testing. We tell you what to expect.
We explain each observation, say which matter most and quote separately for any repairs.
Consumer Unit & Distribution Board Upgrades

Yes, notifiable work comes with the certificate the rules require. We explain what you will receive.
Not always. Before an upgrade we carry out an EICR, so you have a clear understanding of the condition of your installation and any other work needed. The cost of that test comes off your upgrade.
Commercial & Industrial Installations
All types of electrical containment systems. We agree what suits the building and the cables it will carry before we quote.
Tell us about the supply and the equipment. We explain what the installation needs before we quote.
The installation is tested and comes with the certificates the work requires. We explain what applies when we quote.

Notifiable electrical work comes with the certificate the rules require. We explain what you will receive for your job.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Switch off at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so and keep away from the area. If there is a fire or immediate danger, call 999.
It can be an overload, a faulty appliance or a fault in the wiring. Testing finds which.
We explain what we think the problem is and the options. We agree the work before anything beyond making things safe.
Media Walls
Usually, yes. Tell us the makes and models so the wall can be built around them.
Inside the wall. The cable routes are planned first so nothing is left on show.
Yes, integrated LED lighting can be part of the design. We agree what is included in the quote.
