On small jobs this is not a problem, however we can offer no warranty or guarantee with the installation. On larger installations we expect to supply all materials, with the exception of some fittings. This allows us to offer our guarantee and make sure that the best and most suitable equipment is used and that we have complete faith in.
Below you will find a list of the questions I get asked on a regular basis.
In all cases we offer a 1-year labour guarantee. On installation jobs we are backed by the NICEIC’s platinum promise which offers a 6-year guarantee on workmanship. Materials are dependent on the manufacturer but most offer at least 2-3 years.
Yes. In most cases we do not charge for quotes.
Yes, we will always offer our best impartial advice to anyone that enquires. There are a lot of so-called electricians operating out there and the only way to avoid being stung is knowledge. We also offer a range of free help sheets in the help sheets section which we are continually adding to.
No – our first hour cost will cover an engineer to attend your property for up to 1 hour, additional hours are charged in ½ hr increments. We may need to add additional travel expenses if the work is outside of our main operating area.
Our first hour charge is £85.00 +VAT
This can vary between properties and depends on factors including the age and size of the building, the buildings use, if there are electric heater circuits and the quality of labelling and previous paperwork available.
Pricing on domestic installations starts from £165.00 +VAT for a 2 bed flat and will increase with size.
Pricing on a commercial system start from £25.00 +VAT per circuit, we would need to carry out a survey to supply an accurate quote.
In most situations yes, it will be a requirement one way or another.
Domestic – if your property is rented then it is a requirement by law that there is a satisfactory EICR in place which should be renewed a maximum of every 5 years or at a change of occupancy. If you own your home, then there is no legal requirement however it would be advised as regulations and safety equipment change quickly.
Commercial – There is no legal requirement for an EICR, however as a business owner you have a duty of care to your staff and the public to ensure your systems are safe. On top of this its very likely that your commercial business insurance policy will stipulate that an in date satisfactory EICR must be held, or you risk voiding your insurance cover.
