As programmes like Grand Designs and Homes under the Hammer inspire people to renovate old properties and build their own, residential electricians have never been busier. The UK housing crisis means that those looking to buy are looking at alternative methods to capture their perfect property, keeping contractors on their toes with new requests and designs.
Our residential team is always working on new and exciting projects, meeting client requirements with the latest techniques and services. From smart lighting such as Rako to home sound systems such as Sonos, our team is on hand to guide home owners through their design.
Every house build starts with the crucial drawings from the architect. After an initial review of the drawing, the team sits down with the client to discuss the specifications and any other requirements. Residential projects require an extra level of detail as the majority of the work is in the planning and the imagination of how each room will be laid out. There is nothing more annoying in the 21st century then getting into bed and not having anywhere to charge your phone, a common problem in older properties. In an era where we charge everything overnight, having the right number of sockets in the correct location has never been more important.
From the start, our residential team on hand to discuss and advise your electrical install. With our experience in the industry, we think of the little things so you don’t have to; for example, where to plug the Christmas tree lights. As a client, it can be a daunting task of picking a socket faceplate from a choice of hundreds, with our extensive knowledge regarding materials and suppliers, meaning that we can make sure you get the best results for your project.
Our support doesn’t stop at the end of the build, the team will continue to support you with your completed project. We understand that new technology can be hard to grasp, therefore the residential team are there to guide you through the ins and outs of your new purchase, making sure you get the best results. Projects that include a Rako smart lighting installation, receive a complimentary visit one month from handover to alter any settings on your lighting controls to ensure the right levels of lighting for the environment.
