FAQs
What does an installation include?
A new build electrical installation covers everything from the initial electrical design to the final testing and certification. This includes first fix wiring (before plastering), second fix (installing sockets, switches and lighting), fitting the consumer unit and connecting any smart or renewal tech. We will also liaise with the developer or homeowner to ensure the system is tailored to future needs.
How early should I contact an electrician for a new build?
Ideally, you should involve a qualified electrician during the design and planning stage - before groundworks begin. Early input will allow us to plan the best wiring routes, ensure your layout works practically and avoid costly changes later. It also helps secure a date in our schedule to keep your new build on track.
Do new build homes need electrical testing and certification?
Yes, absolutely. Every new build installation must be thoroughly tested and certified under Part P of the Building Regulations. We provide an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and notify building control as required. This documentation proves your installation is safe and legally compliant - essential for resale or rental.
Can I include smart home features?
Definitely. New builds are the perfect opportunity to integrate smart home technology, from lighting and heating controls to door access systems and home automation. We can offer advice on the best options for you.
How much does an installation cost?
Costs vary depending on the size, layout and specification of your build. This can increase with added features like smart tech. We offer transparent quotes based on site plans and your requirements, so no surprises. As a small, independent business, we are more diligent with both quality and pricing.
