We are 2.3 miles from Wyken, which matters when the power has gone off and nobody knows why. We trace faults properly rather than replacing parts hopefully, and we handle everything from an extra socket to a full rewire, consumer unit replacement and EICR testing.

Everything your Wyken property needs
The electrical work we carry out across Wyken (CV2), from a single circuit to a full rewire.
Electrical Installations
New electrical installations, specified for how the building is actually used rather than to a minimum.
Full & Partial Rewiring
Full and partial rewires. Testing first establishes which of the two a property actually needs.
Lighting Installation & Upgrades
New lighting and upgrades to existing, chosen so lamps can be replaced rather than the whole fitting scrapped.
Fuse Board Upgrades
Consumer unit replacement bringing RCD or RCBO protection to circuits that currently have none.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Fault diagnosis and repair, with what we have ruled out explained as we go rather than at the end.
Safety Inspections & Testing (EICR)
EICR inspection and testing for landlords, buyers and owners, with the remedial work that follows.

What we check on a property in Wyken
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Wyken, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Smoke and heat alarm provision
We note what alarms are fitted, whether they are interlinked and how they are powered. Requirements differ for rented property, and it is a cheap thing to put right while other work is happening.
Accessory condition
Scorching, cracked faceplates, loose sockets and discoloured terminals point at loose connections, which generate heat. We look behind a sample of accessories rather than judging from the front.
Cable type and age
We look at the cable at the board and at accessible points. Rubber, lead or fabric sheathing changes the recommendation entirely, because that cable cannot safely be disturbed or extended.
Circuit identification and labelling
We check the board is accurately labelled and record what each way actually feeds. An unlabelled or wrongly labelled board is a safety issue the moment anyone needs to isolate something quickly.
Lighting circuit earthing
Many older lighting circuits have no circuit protective conductor. That rules out metal fittings and switches until it is addressed, and it is one of the most frequent findings on an older property.
Socket provision against actual use
We note how many sockets each room has and what is plugged into them. Banks of extension leads and adaptors are a design problem rather than a user problem, and the fix is usually more circuits.

Speak to us today0786 5778332What else is near Wyken that you cover?
Wyken sits next to Walsgrave (about 1 mile away), Henley Green (about 1 mile away), Stoke Heath (about 1.1 miles away) and Ball Hill (about 1.2 miles away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
Which part of Wyken do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Co-op Food included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Do you provide certificates, and why do they matter?
Yes. Minor works get a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate; new circuits and larger jobs get an Electrical Installation Certificate; inspections get an EICR. They matter because they are the evidence the work was tested, and because conveyancing solicitors and insurers ask for them. Work with no certificate is work nobody can verify, and it reappears as a problem at sale.
What are the rules about electrics in a bathroom?
Bathrooms are divided into zones based on distance from the bath or shower, and each zone limits what can be installed and to what IP rating. Supplementary bonding may be required depending on the installation. Electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable. In practice this is why a bathroom fan, shaver point or downlight is not a casual job even though it looks like one.
I am a landlord with an unsatisfactory EICR. How long do I have?
Twenty-eight days from the report, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period, and you have to give written confirmation of the remedial work to the tenants and to the local authority if they ask for it. C1 items should be made safe on the day they are found rather than held over. Keep the report and the completion evidence together; both are asked for.
Can you run power to a garage, shed or garden office?
Yes. It is a new circuit, so it is notifiable, and it needs armoured cable buried at the right depth or otherwise properly protected, correct earthing arrangements, and its own protective device. Garden offices usually need a small consumer unit at the far end. The cable route and the earthing arrangement are the two things that decide the cost, so we look at both at survey.
