Our General Electrical Work Work
What Happens When Electrical Work Is Done Incorrectly?
Poorly executed electrical work is one of the leading causes of house fires in the UK. Beyond the immediate safety risk, non-compliant wiring can void your home insurance, reduce your property value, and create ongoing problems that cost far more to fix later.
DIY electrical work or using unregistered tradespeople might save money upfront, but the consequences can be severe:
- Tripping circuits and recurring power outages from incorrect load calculations
- Fire risk from overloaded wiring or improperly terminated connections
- Failed electrical inspections when selling or letting your property
- Insurance claims rejected due to non-compliant installations
- Hidden faults that worsen over time and become expensive emergencies
- No certification means no proof the work meets safety standards

Understanding Domestic Electrical Installations in Cobham
Domestic electrical work in the UK is governed by BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and Part P of the Building Regulations. Any work in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoors — or work involving new circuits — is classified as notifiable and must be carried out by a registered electrician or inspected by Building Control.
Common domestic electrical tasks include installing additional socket outlets, replacing light fittings, adding USB charging points, upgrading to LED lighting, fitting extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens, installing outdoor power supplies, and wiring for home offices or garden rooms.
For properties in Cobham and the surrounding Surrey villages, we frequently work on period properties requiring careful integration of modern wiring with existing architecture. This includes surface-mounted trunking solutions where chasing walls isn't practical, and careful routing through ceiling voids and floor cavities.
We use only commercial-grade materials from trusted UK suppliers — including Hager and Schneider consumer units, Polypipe conduit systems, and high-quality twin and earth cabling rated for the specific load requirements of each installation.
Commercial electrical work follows similar regulatory frameworks but with additional considerations for emergency lighting, fire alarm integration, three-phase power distribution, and compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. We carry out commercial installations across offices, retail units, restaurants, and light industrial premises throughout Surrey.
Whether you need a single socket relocated or an entire property rewired, the same standards of workmanship, testing, and certification apply. There is no job too small and no shortcut worth taking when it comes to electrical safety.
