Electrical services for domestic and commercial property

We quote lighting, house rewiring, fuse board replacement, EV chargers, EICR testing, PAT testing, showers, radiators, Starlink, dMEV fans, motors, and commercial and industrial installs.

  • Current labour rate: £70 per hour.
  • Materials, specialist equipment and larger project work are confirmed separately before they go ahead.

Lighting Installation

  • Householders in Poole, Parkstone and Canford Heath call when a lounge, landing or bedroom needs new pendants, wall lights or downlights, or when an old switch no longer works.
  • A new kitchen or bathroom often needs lights that suit wet zones, cupboards and worktops, plus extra switches so the room can be used without glare.
  • Landlords book lighting when a tenant reports a dead fitting, a cracked rose or a dark hallway, and when a vacant flat needs working lights before the next let.
  • Traders and site managers in Bournemouth, Ferndown and Wimborne Minster need shop-floor, office and warehouse lighting that matches the hours the building is in use.

House rewiring in Poole

  • Owners in Poole, Parkstone and Canford Heath book us when lights flicker, sockets feel warm or an older board will not take modern loads.
  • A survey that flags the wiring often means a full or partial rewire before the sale can complete.
  • An Electrical Installation Condition Report, the formal check of the wiring, can say the house needs new circuits rather than small repairs.
  • New rooms need new circuits. We run them from a new or upgraded fuse board so the whole house works as one system.

Fuse board replacement

  • Many houses in Poole, Parkstone and Canford Heath still have a wooden or metal fuse box with cartridge fuses. We replace that box with a modern consumer unit so each circuit has a miniature circuit breaker and residual current protection.
  • An Electrical Installation Condition Report, the periodic test of the wiring, often names the consumer unit as the item to change. We fit the new board so the next inspection can record the circuits under current devices.
  • Workshops, lockups and commercial units around Ferndown and Wimborne Minster outgrow a domestic board. We fit a unit that can take three phase loads or extra ways for machinery, lighting and sockets.
  • A new cooker circuit, electric shower or EV charger often needs a spare way and a matching residual current device. We change the board so those circuits sit on their own protection rather than sharing an overloaded busbar.

The work itself

We carry out the repair, test, board change or install that was quoted, and keep the power off only where the job needs it.
